[@marshprofessionaldetailing9794]

I use an almost identical process to this in my shop. I have yet to try the Mckee's, but use a P&S APC diluted 10:1 and when needed P&S Brake Buster as it tends to pull the really baked in dirt stains (just don't leave it on too too long as it can in some cases fade the mat). I use 303 Protectant for the finishing touch as well. Great video Pan. Your content is very informative and full of gems that can really save new and experienced detailers time and money. Keep it up and I look forward to the next one!

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Thanks for the positive feedback once again. Always appreciated!

[@oaker55]

Been using Weathertech floor mats for over ten years now and when I bought the first sets I also bought some of their protectant for the mats. I was never that impressed with the protectant until just last weekend when I was cleaning the mats in my wife's car. We live in Florida now and after I cleaned the mats, by time I got the last mat clean the first mat had dried in the sun. Not thinking that much about it, I went ahead and spray the protectant on the first mat and before I could get the towel to wipe it off to "even it out", it dried on the mat perfectly. Evidently, I had been using the protectant wrong for over ten years. My mats turned out exactly how yours look and for about half the effort!

[@PanTheOrganizer]

I also have the WeatherTech products and they also work well but are more expensive. My viewers prefer a bit better value for money. 45$ CAD on Amazon or local stores is steep when most people likely already have an APC at home, and perhaps a protectant like 303.

[@oaker55]

@@PanTheOrganizer When I bought them, they weren't that expensive. i bought them at the factory store (we lived very close at the time) and were very economical at the time. I have no idea what the cost is today (everything is expensive today)!

Adam’s Polishes has really good rubber mat cleaner too. I usually start with agitating that into the mats then let dwell for a minute, then deep clean with a McCulloch steamer. The steam really helps with tree sap or anything sticky like that.

@@PanTheOrganizer Congratulations on the success of your channel, I am not surprised based on how helpful your content is. I discovered your channel by searching how to do a waterless wash using Sans-zo! I ended up buying it and it is a great product for maintenance in the garage during winter.

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Thanks for the feedback. Keep in mind the waterless wash products (like Sans-Zo) are only a last alternative type solution. Those aren't the safest to actually clean paintwork. The best method is always the traditional two bucket wash method with water and buckets and mitts. The second best alternative is a rinseless wash. The last method is waterless, if you really don't have access to any water. ;)

Hi Pan, Do they make a black plastic restorer product for interior plastics to cover up scratches? I only see exterior products. Thank you.

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Unfortunately, there isn't much you can do for scratched plastics. Once the material is gone, it's not like you can polish it to remove scratches. The best you could do is apply an interior dressing to perhaps mask the appearance of the scratches a bit...

[@quattljl1]

Interesting suggestion. I've used 303 many times on WeatherTech floor mats, plastic inserts on running boards, etc. It always left the surfaces slippery. I stopped using it for this reason and now only clean those surfaces. I'll rejuvenate when/if needed with Solution Finish.

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Hmmm. Weird. Perhaps you overapplied? A few sprays, and proper knocking down of the finish with a microfiber towel and I never had issues.

[@daito808]

Pan you da man, got any advice on sand in the carpets ?

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Yes, it's actually simple. 1) Start by vacuuming the area first, to remove most of the loose dirt and debris. 2) Use a cordless drill and this brush attachment: amzn.to/3K1mFtt That will lift the sand from the fibers and bring it up top. 3) Vacuum the area again. Bingo, done. That works for the carpets and some seats. For more gentle fabrics, don't use the drill brush attachment. Use a manual brush like this: amzn.to/3xkNdy4 (things like the carpeted or felt back portions of the seats, or trunk floor liners made of thinner material). Vacuum, agitate, vacuum.

Awe, that's cute cleaning up twice used Porsche mats, I want to see you start with 100k mile Ford Focus mats that have lived through 5 Wisconsin winters. My point, it might be more demonstrative to work on something a little more challenging. I might try that McKees though.

[@PanTheOrganizer]

The goal here is to show the process and products used. If the matt is older or dirtier, it doesn’t change the process. The only thing that would be different on a super worn matt is that other than being clean at the end, it might look used…. because it is lol.

Hey Pan...what do you think about using TW Inside Job as a last step dressing? You think it would be too slick?

[@PanTheOrganizer]

I haven’t tested it as a rubber mat dressing. I have a feeling it would be slick.

[@joshraines]

@@PanTheOrganizer interesting. I think I'll test it out and report back!

Hey Pan, my cousin recently bought a Fortador Steam Cleaner and started a small detailing business with that. I saw it is very expensive and it has multiple purposes. There isnt much info and reviews on the internet about them, but the few i saw, people said they were a good investment. I was wondering why didnt you go that route with steam cleaning cars. And also, can you please do a video on how to apply dressing to your interior ? I have some issues with this. Do you apply it on every little bit of plasitc ? Like buttons and switches or just on the big parts, like dashboard, doors and so on ? Thanks ! Keep it up

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Here in Montreal, we have abundant natural resources (i.e. water) and so nobody really uses steam to clean cars. We use the traditional methods with water, buckets, wash mitts.

[@djcodyb]

@@PanTheOrganizer water i guess it isnt an issue in most parts of the world. Especially in Europe from where i am. Judging by your answer it is not worth the investment ? Is not better than the traditional car washing / interior cleaning methods ?

[@PanTheOrganizer]

It's not better for sure. The classic method with water is always the best, in my opinion. For me, steam cleaning is meant for countries or cities where people have limited access to water, or places where there are heavy water restrictions or water bans.

My BMW x1 had some super greasy floor mat shine when I got it from the car dealership. Nearly tore my groin getting in it for the first time 😂

I have 23 year old car mats in my one car. They all look new except the driver side. They are black with mostly blue flames. The blue flames have more black on them now due to my feet being on them. Will your method help remove all the black on the floor mats even after all these years? I have tried cleaning them throughout the years. Just never have been able to get them to look new again like the other 3 floor mats.

[@PanTheOrganizer]

It depends how badly they are worn out. Cleaning them won’t restore missing color or material. It rejuvenates what can be restored. Try it, and if it still doesn’t work, perhaps it’s time to get new mats. I have yet to meet anyone that kept their mats for that long. They will have served you well.

Would the protectant step reduce the tacky feeling I have on the backs of the weathertech floormats? I find cleaning the front side is easy but the backside always feels tacky

[@PanTheOrganizer]

I never noticed them being tacky in the back, but perhaps they’re that way to ensure they stay fixed to the floor.

that was a paaaaaaaaaaaantastic mini tutorial, great job

Glad you liked it!

Great video Pan. Would perl 5:1 be okay use on rubber floor mats ?

[@PanTheOrganizer]

I haven't tried that.

Hi I’m from the UK, where can I buy this car mat from.

[@PanTheOrganizer]

The company is Weather Tech by I don't know if you can get them in the UK.

[@sinaghorbani3082]

Is there a way to clean the rubber matts without any sort of special cleaner, and just product you can find at home like dish soap. I was thinking of only using pressure washer, but that didnt really get into all of the nooks and crannies.

[@PanTheOrganizer]

You could use just an all purpose cleaner (dishwashing liquid may leave some residue or dull the finish) but that won't necessarily restore the factory appearance. Cleaning the surface is one thing, but restoring that OEM black look needs a rejuvenator. See my latest video on that topic here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nXy6gadpeaaAb7c

[@sinaghorbani3082]

@@PanTheOrganizer Like interior all purpose cleaner? Such as meguiars interior all purpose cleaner?
