Super Useful Accessory for Car Detailing | RimMats Review
In this video I’ll be taking a look at RIMMATS, and explaining the advantages of using them when cleaning the wheels and dressing the tyres.
Here’s a link to the RimMats: www.rimmats.com/
I’ve found these mats very useful for a few reasons:
1. There’s no need to move the car to reach the bottom of the tyre when cleaning/ dressing. This is because they put the wheel on a slight platform allowing me to reach underneath.
2. They act as a barrier between the floor and the wheel, so there’s much less risk of dirt/ grit getting sprayed up onto the wheel when rinsing and drying. It also keeps my brushes/ towels cleaner as they’re not touching the floor.
3. Two of the mats have a chock which acts a...

I saw Heather using them a while ago. Was very interested and reached out to rim mats. Sadly they don’t sell in Canada, so I reached out to carzilla to think about importing these. Nothing yet. So I drive up on my 2X6 wooden ramps in deep envy 😢
These are definitely on my ‘to get’ list! Thanks for this helpful review 👍🏾👍🏾
How convenient 😂, I was just looking for something similar ❤! Do you feel like they should be taller?
Thanks for the info, but to me it seems the washing of mf towels is even more complicated, and expensive than detailing a car. The rags to riches is much more expensive than, for example, carpro mfx or nanolex. Then you need to pre soak with the detergent also do a lot of different washes because of separating the towels. This means a 25 euro 1 litre bottle rags and riches might only last a couple of washes. Is it really necessary to separate your towels in that many different washes? Or maybe a good presoak can get the most of the dirt out and product of, to be able to wash them together? I have some expensive rag company eagle 500 towels, but the edgeless 300 are at a price point of only 10% of a 1 litre bottle of rags and riches
This might surprise you, but I did not know that some wheel arches have cloth or carpet lining! Is this usually on expensive cars? All of the cars I have owned had plastic (or perhaps hard rubber) wheel arches.
no good if you park half on road and half on pavement only good for flat surfaces
as for the hose, I can honestly say I've never in my life had my hose stick 🤣🤣 But I guess I always flick the hose away from the car as I move, and have a super long hose for the pressure washer.
backing on is probably better. I always drive forward onto them. On one occassion, with a high powered car, the front mats were thrown by the wheels towards the rear 🤣🤣
Oh god that’s a nightmare 😂
I have looked at them a number of times but can't justify the cost but understand if you are a professional detailer or social media creator as they do give a good impression. I detail on lockblock so gravel not an issue and I have a set of house guides which I use under my wheels which are very good. I do have a set of four decking planks cut to wheel size that I can use but to be honest I don't so if I did buy them I am not so sure I would indeed use them.
Not a bad idea at all Heather. BTW, I hope u haven’t been drifting that MX5?? I’ve heard they’re really good for it?? 😝😝😝🙄🙄🙄
Nahh I’m boring, traction control stays on 😂
@@autocarehqextra Glad to hear it Heather, I’m mega fussy about my 535 too!!
I’ve only just discovered your extra channel and every video iv watched so far has been very useful for me! Thanks a lot!
Thanks I appreciate it!
👍👍😊
They look really handy! The hose guide around the back is really innovative 😊
I bought some after you recommended them previously Heather. A simple but very effective cleaning aid👍🏻
I'm happy to have mine and, was lucky enough to get them as a goft because, I do think they're quite expensive. I use mine each time and do find them beneficial but, they're marmite and i totally understand why. All the best 👍
I've had mine since Paul Dolden initially reviewed them. For me it stops me from scrapping my knuckles off the concrete drive when washing and dressing my tyres. Yes I get they aren't to everyone's taste or pocket but I'm really happy a with mine and pleased I bought them I'll continue to use them despite all the negative comments.
I love mine. They keep the tyre dressing from contacting the garage floor, which can be a hazard!
Great video. Just ordered a set. NB £7.50 delivery charge! ☹
Hi Heather, good video,do you buy these as a set of four to use on the car.they do seem very handy especially you fingers getting scraped on the floor.
Thanks Steven, yep they come as a set of 4
I like them. Use mine when coating my tyres - don’t bother for a maintenance wash though. Great video - keep it up! 🎉
I bought some after seeing Heather use them. Excellent quality product, and i wouldn't be without them they really make cleaning tires so much easier. Thanks, Heather. 👌
Nice one! Glad you’re a fan of them too, thanks for watching 😊
I bought these the other day after seeing them in your videos and mainly bought them to help stop dragging gravel off everywhere. Great product. Great video too as i didnt realise about the round corner to help the hose haha
Glad you’re enjoying using them too, haha it’s a good perk tbf I hate when the hose gets caught on the tyre
I got some of these based on your video last year 👍👍👍 They handy for tyre washing but not cheap though 🤔
Nice one! Yeah not cheap but can’t knock the quality 👍
A few people tell me they are a waste of time but i quite like using them, the advantages are minimal but do improve the overall experience of cleaning and dressing.
Yeah there’s polarising on Instagram/ tik tok! I really like using them too though, just a nice addition that makes things a little easier
I bought them too
I have been interested in these for a while now - thanks to you of course Heather. The price point was a little higher than I was hoping for but I think I may have to add this to a Birthday/Christmas list as I do like the benefits - I had no idea about the hose guide! Cheers Graham
Thanks for watching 😊
Cool
I've been interested in this for a while but haven't hit the buy button yet. Believe they can be sent to the US also
Nice review Heather 👍 👍👍
Cheers Brian!
Interesting. Does your partner worry that you spend more time cleaning cars than with them?😂
Probably 😂
Love mine after seeing you use them. Aside from getting to the bottom of the tyre, preventing stones kicking up but also allows me to get the pressure washer hose around the back of the tyre without being caught up.
Absolutely! Glad you’re a fan of them too 😊
Exactlty the same here Pedders529, I wouldn't be without them now.👍
Waiting for them to be available for us to purchase in Puerto Rico and USA
Hopefully at some point!
Just sent them a message. Please bring to the USA
First!!!!
A nice maintenance wash. Excellent as always!
Guess the roof wasn't dirty
Had mine years really good bit of kit
Could you do a video on how to use a steamer to clean your seats (cloth)😊
@@harryblinkhorn2792 yep I’ll add it to my list cheers!
I bought a steamer about 15 years ago and rarely used it . Mind you I am not a huge lover of interior cleaning. I never do it on anybody else's cars, only my own. I do however get right into it when the mood strikes me I just never seem to drag the steamer out from under the bed.
🎉👍👍😊
As I was spraying off the coating from my mini today it was already beading. Love seeing other drivers reactions in rain to a ceramic coating done well. 😊
