Everything You Need To Clean Your Rubber Car Mats
Here’s How To Make Your Rubber Car Mats Look Brand New In 6 Simple Steps:
Step 1: Take your rubber car mats out of your car
Take your rubber car mats out of your car and put them at working height on a clean surface like a plastic table or on a tarp.
Step 2: Clean your mats with rubber cleaner
Clean your mats with rubber cleaner to get rid of all old dressings, oil and dirt. Work the cleaner vigorously in all directions with a scrub brush to reach in the deepest grooves.
Step 3: Rinse your rubber car mats
Rinse your rubber car mats thoroughly with tap water.
Step 4: Rub them dry
Rub them dry with clean microfiber towels. Make sure no water is left.
Step 5: Coat your car mats with a rubber restorer
To rejuvenate the rubber material and get back that deep black natural look, coat your car mats with a rubber restorer.
Apply the product with an applicator pad and massage it onto the surface to create a very thin, even layer. Make sure the rubber is well-saturated. Allow 10-15 minutes to saturate.
Step 6: Buff the car mats down and let them dry
Buff down any excess product with clean microfiber towels and leave to air-dry.
There you go: Your rubber car mats are “back to black”, looking like new! Thanks to the rubber restorer, they will stay that way for a considerable time.
A job well done!
Happy detailing!
