Anyone know how to make WeatherTech mats shine like new
Folks - I just spent some time washing my truck on this lovely day. Anyone have a trick to bring the shine back to WeatherTech mats? No matter how much I scrub they still look dirty. BikePump has said I am not allowed to use ArmourAll due to the slipperiness of it.

Give Larry a call at Car Care Specialities. He is always at Hershey Swap Meet
https://store.carcareonline.com/rubberandvinylcare.aspx I think most treatment would shine the rubber so to speak but create a slippery surface.

Funny, I just watched this video the other week, I'm guessing the product is the key?

Black Again (haven't tried it on my Weathertech but it works on dashboards, plastic, rubber - doesn't need to be black). Doesn't de-gas and dirty up your windshield if you use it on the dashboard (as opposed to Armor-All).

I heard you just ask for Vranko as your instructor and then just wipe them down afterwards #WABE

I want to see him try to clean that nasty mat; if he can make that one look like new with only a few minutes of scrubbing, I'll buy his products right away.

I suppose you could use some rubber conditioner like 303 Rubber conditioner. I use that on door seals for my 51' Chebby.

Wait, you are following his orders now? Is it because it's his birthday?

OK - I used a degreaser and scrubbed and then Macquirers Back to Black. They look great and not greasy at all.
