I just use a tire cleaner. At the moment malco whitewall. Hang on a matt clamp . Rinse and while wet spay with water based plastic/ vinyl cleaner and let dry . Comes out great and not slick
A video on how to clean a set of weathertech mats. First, use simple green and water and just as clean. Second, they are weathertech mats, after two-years, deposit in nearest garbage can and get a better set such as Husky mats. Last longer and cleaning is the same.
At $129.00 for the treatment why not just buy new mats instead? The mats are about the same prices as your price for the treatment and you still have old mats.. Myself I'd just buy new mats.
Saw this video about a month ago, tried the gummy flex and was definitely impressed. I have weather tech mats and have tried a few other products with negligible results. My only issue is make sure to use outdoors as it has a strong isopropyl smell. But it dissipates as it dries. So far it has lasted well over a month in my daily driver. As mentioned preparation is key, but I highly recommend it. 👍✌️☮️
I’m from Austria and have used this product for two years. It is absolutely not slippery, trust me! Rain or snow, you are not going to have problems, not even the slightest. To my knowledge, it’s the only product on the market specifically made for this purpose, and it does the job perfectly. Of course, you can use it for other things as well, any plastic or rubber.
Green star works amazingly to clean the floor mats. 1 : 10 with a brush does the trick no problem, I got a new product to use now after I clean them now!
Watched video bought this product and wound up throwing it away. Tried spraying, sponge and brush applications. Product would not dry completely in small groves of mat. Act as a magnet for dirt and dust. Way too much effort with microfiber clothes trying to dry up excess product. Over priced and difficult to apply.
I love Gummifix, Also love PSS applied the same way sprayed onto an applicator pad for a tyre dressing and for exterior plastics. Game changer for me and thought I’d never move away from Perl! Have you tried?
@@jasoncraig6158 Easy 2-3 weeks during the Winter months in the UK so possibly more during the summer. I generally try to wash once a week and reapply every wash so longevity isn’t something I pay a lot of attention too
Insane, the price of all this stuff is extremely high,wash them in dish soap dry them use tire shine,way cheaper look good only until the next time you bring your muddy shoes in the car I don’t care how much money or time you spend on them let’s be real. There probably is something even cheaper than tire shine I haven’t used that works just as well.
Great video Josh! I have a few words of advice, I noticed you are scrambling around on a hard surface on your knees and think you should consider subing a kneeling pad or mat. Take it from one who knows. As a young man it doesn't bother you all that much but the constant abuse over years will take its toll. Protect those knees please!
I have been watching a ton of your videos as I have been getting into car detailing. They are very well made and very helpful! Keep it up! Do you know anything about the 3200 Husqvarna pressure washer from Costco? I just barely bought the greenworks pro 2300 from Amazon after watching your review on it but today I saw the Husqvarna for sale making them the same price. The Husqvarna has more psi and gpm. For car detailing that extra psi won’t make much of a difference but I’d also like to be able to use the pressure washer for cleaning my fence, driveway, house, etc. Any thoughts as to which would be more versatile? Which would be more likely to last longer? I’d maybe guess that the gas powered engine might make the Husqvarna more serviceable after a lot of use.
Hello Josh. This is definitely great for rubber matts. I wonder how it would work on Rubber windhield trim or any rubber trim around your vehicle? Can you also recommened a product that can restore any rubber door and windshield moldings? Somethings that can restore the black color of the trim, lasts a while, and doesnt streak when it gets wet?
That was a super good tip about hitting the mat in all 4 directions with the pressure washer. I have never thought about that. But looking forward to trying it on next interior detail.
Question in another video you used super clean with a spray gloss that was diluted with water, end result was bit more color and shine is this a better version of that or super clean still way too go?
Not saying he’s doing it wrong, because he’s not. But he’s over-simplifying it a bit. It’s a RUclips video so understandable. But here’s an easier way of going about it that’ll give you amazing results… Rinse mat with water, get as much off as possible. Spray a Rubber cleaner/conditioner/protectant (I use Mothers VLR) and/or a degreaser onto mat and let dwell for a minute or two. The VLR is for softening the rubber and making it more slick. Rinse again. If the mat is really bad and is still really dirty, almost oversaturate the mat with VLR and Degreaser and scrub with a brush, drill brush, or something so it’s agitated (preferably a soft brissled drill brush). Don’t rinse yet, but lift the mat and make sure there’s no sitting chemicals or water on mat. And spray only the VLR again, and let sit for 5 mins. Scrub again then rise off.
I got new floor mats from Ford for my F150. When I got them they looked faded to begin with, but I got them free so was not a huge deal to me. My son immediately, like within the first week of having them, spilled milk, fortunately on the rear mat and not on the seats or carpeting. By the time I got home, and pulled the mat out, it had already dried. I have since scrubbed the mat twice, first using just some car wash and a scrubbie, and then with simple green and a scrubbie, and while the mats look clean, there is still like this waxy looking film where the milk was spilled that I cannot get rid of. I think maybe the milk did something to the rubber. Do you think this stuff would work to fix it?
Hey Josh. What besides Rubber / Plastic floor mats are you finding use for Gummifix. Im trying to come up a list with every possible thing u can use this on. I have door sills, gas and brake pedals. Also of course the Mats are included
For me it’s easier to clean fabric floor mats. At least not harder. Same, spray, agitate with the microfiber towel, mop it, dry it with the microfiber towel. It’s clean.
I am always amazed how people can talk non stop over a very simple thing. I don't want to know how much more there is to talk about on a more complicated job.
boiling water and a bit of shampoo, then shop-vac out as much water as possible. (Gets out salt easy-peasy). P.S - I wear 2 pairs of chemical gloves so I don't burn my hands in the boiling water :P
Maybe you could do a comparison where both sides of the mat are treated. Comparing a treated section to an untreated section doesn’t seem like a fair evaluation.
Great channel ! I got a question I hope you can answer . I have a Daytona 392 with the decals , they are weathered and have a lot of spots on them . They are matte black . Is there anyway to bring them back or should I get rid of them and get new ones ??? Thanks in advance 👍
Thanks for the product review. Too weird. I was just thinking about how to restore my rubber mats and then this shows up in my feed. I think RUclips is watching me a little too closely. :-) I do have one question. Is there any way to buy the product in a smaller container? I don’t think I need that much product for one car and the price to get that huge amount is a little steep for me. Thanks again.

How's the slickness after it gets wet? It's typical that floormats get wet and the products sort of activate again, which could lead to slickness.
Is this stuff better then Ts ??? Or they both do the same job. .ur thoughts
Guf is non slick where Top Star is.
So it’s basically Armor All tire shine.

Gotta add water to it to test slickness. A wet shoe could reactivate chemicals and cause a slick surface
I was gonna ask that

Thanks for the video - wasn’t aware of this product! Any idea how long it lasts before reapplication?
That was my first time ever using it. I’ll update as time goes on!
Use black liquid shoe polish first to darken the worn spots, then continue with the process.
Green star works amazingly to clean the floor mats. 1 : 10 with a brush does the trick no problem, I got a new product to use now after I clean them now!
Any type of soap will do the trick. I've had perfect results will regular car wash soap and dish soap. Easiest to use a drill with a brush attachment.
I’ve been waiting for this kind of floor mat restoration product. Thank you for sharing it, you’re Awesome! More power to you and your channel 👍👊🚘
how are you liking the IK sprayers? worth the money??
WOW awesome!!im messaging, how do i proceed?
Anything on the reply on being a winner?
How long does it last ? Tyring to decide between this and chemical matt renew.

I have Koch Chemie PLAST STAR Pss and I have it on my exterior-plastics- rubber of my truck so far I really like it
@@jasoncraig6158 If you clean the plastic first and also use isopropyl alcohol, the product adheres very well
IMJOSHV x KCX = 🏆
Can you use Gummyfix to maintain and protect car door rubber seal?
Don’t use it for that. The cost wouldn’t make sense. Use a silicone spray instead. It will work way better on rubber seals at a fraction of the cost.
Insane, the price of all this stuff is extremely high,wash them in dish soap dry them use tire shine,way cheaper look good only until the next time you bring your muddy shoes in the car I don’t care how much money or time you spend on them let’s be real. There probably is something even cheaper than tire shine I haven’t used that works just as well.
Bad advice. Tire shine is slick and it's not a good idea to have slick mats for obvious reasons.
Great video Josh! I have a few words of advice, I noticed you are scrambling around on a hard surface on your knees and think you should consider subing a kneeling pad or mat. Take it from one who knows. As a young man it doesn't bother you all that much but the constant abuse over years will take its toll. Protect those knees please!
Hi Phil yeah that’s great advice! I use them when I’m detailing but I should use them in this situation too!
Thanks for Great advice!
Thanks for the great review. How has this held up over the past 4 weeks? Was it truly slip resistant when wet? Did the dark finish last?
That looks great!! I wonder how it work on OEM rubber style all weather floor mats? Curious how long it lasts also.
$130 Is way to much for something that looks like 303, hard pass for me dog!
$130 for what?
I use Simple Green and Mop & Glo.
Dear Josh,can you reply my email about sample of returning? I lose contact with you.
I wonder how this compares to chemical guys floor mat cleaner & protectant.
Nice looking results!
Give me a smaller option and I’d consider buying it.
Rag company has the litre size available for sale now
Thanks, I will wait for the 1-liter shipment as 5-liter is too much to store
I’m hoping they release them soon!
Need updates on your '69 Fairlane
Another channel was trying the Renew Blak product here...might be an interesting test. No slickness, deep black color.
Good video. I've been looking for something to spruce up these Weathertech floor mats.

Another fine demonstration... thanks
Can u use this product on exterior trim?? Or is it for interior only. Maybe the top plastic part on the back of trucks maybe . That trim.????
All right no more shoes in the car lol 😆
The youtubers say its not slick but based on what my clients told me and my own experience, it is sliopery 😅
Good stuff but the Koch web site doesn't even describe the product or what it's used for. Glad I found this video.
Can't wait for this to become available in smaller sizes!!
👍👍👍 yea that will be perfect
@@imjoshv 😀have you seen my email?
Are you still using Gummifix to restore the black color on floor mats?
Update
Can this be used on interior plastics like on the doors?
Hmmm… for the price of that stuff you could just get new floor mats all around.
Just use BLEECH WHITE...I DETAOLED FHOR 20 YEARS
I’m a new subscriber, and I appreciate your videos. Very thorough and straight to the point! Keep up the great work!
Yeah. He does his evaluations and does not try to entertain us. Or tell us about remodeling his home. A great You Tube site.
Koch Chemie is really starting to become my favorite
Hello Josh.

Can you also recommened a product that can restore any rubber door and windshield moldings? Somethings that can restore the black color of the trim, lasts a while, and doesnt streak when it gets wet?
Plast Star by Koch Chemie (same company in the video) is fantastic for restoring rubber/plastic trim and moldings can even use it on your tires
Could you use this on a step bar on trucks?
Yes but it just isn’t going to last very long since it’s on the exterior.
Wow looks promising. Maybe the formula is something similar to trim restoring products
If there are any will someone please share promo codes for his store
Where can you get the products you used in this video?
That was a super good tip about hitting the mat in all 4 directions with the pressure washer. I have never thought about that. But looking forward to trying it on next interior detail.
Could you please help us to send sample back?
Stoner Trim and after a good cleaning for me.
@1:30 -- I dont know man, if you dont know what a lens filter is, Im gonna stop watching your vids. No excuse at this point.
Love to order some but I just ordered one bottle of product and shipping was just as much as the bottle.
Yea shipping can be crazy. If you’re ordering it by itself Amazon would be a good choice. It’s slightly more but shipping is free
Bought it today wouldn't buy it again rather buy matt renew by chemical guys
why?

Always an issue so can't wait to try. I have literally tried EVERYTHING. Thanks for the review.
What are some good spray bottles
Love your videos and the way you explain things keep it up ❤️
It lasts only one wash...
Spray them with clearcoat!
Great video again, what’s the name of your water based floor mat dressing
I used to use a diluted product from my local supplier car glo called aqua shine…
I mix AJAX powder (WITHOUT BLEACH!!!), windex, and dawn dish soap. This concoction work miracles. Good on carpet too.
I got new floor mats from Ford for my F150. When I got them they looked faded to begin with, but I got them free so was not a huge deal to me.

Wd-40, armor all or ceramic coating. Not buying a new product when i have all these other options lying around.
For me it’s easier to clean fabric floor mats. At least not harder. Same, spray, agitate with the microfiber towel, mop it, dry it with the microfiber towel. It’s clean.
$129.99 for 5L? Maybe for a professional detail shop. Way too pricey for me. I wonder what the price point is on those 1L bottles that are coming?
How long does this last? If you wash the mats, does the “restoration” go away? You didn’t do a wet test to identify if these were slick or not.
It seems like it comes off pretty easy if you want it to. Which is good in my opinion because it should be cleaned again before reapplying
Ohhh I think Josh is selling out. I will order my 128$ lifetime supply today!!!!!
Thanks for the video. Just stretching my imagination. Can this product be used on tires as well?
I am always amazed how people can talk non stop over a very simple thing. I don't want to know how much more there is to talk about on a more complicated job.
Salt stains are difficult to remove from mats and carpets . Canada uses lots of rock salt on roads in winter .
Salt is an inorganic compound, you would need an acid based cleaner. I use Meguiars wheel brightener diluted 4:1.
boiling water and a bit of shampoo, then shop-vac out as much water as possible. (Gets out salt easy-peasy). P.S - I wear 2 pairs of chemical gloves so I don't burn my hands in the boiling water :P
I purchased the Gummixfix GUF from Josh and I agree it is a game changer! I highly recommend this product!
Reminds me of the Agricola commercial when the guys is super cleaning his garbage cans. Lol
we are in the center of canada and fukin everywhere snow. it’s april and still fukin snow storm yet. waiting good weater to clean my wife s car.😂
I'm sorry but I just can't buy a product that says "guf" on the bottle, no matter how great it is.
I use zep multi cleaner (orange) and wow it works great to mixed 50 50 concentration.
KCx makes some excellent products. Do you sell products direct at Mesa Rim road or only mail order?
Good to see you using high quality Koch Chemie products vs the Walmart crap
Let's go. KcX all the way. Thank you for all the vids.
Hey Josh. What tasks can this be used for. What would u describe this as in as a product task name
Which one do you recommend more, this one or the chemicals guys rubber cleaner you used?
Maybe you could do a comparison where both sides of the mat are treated. Comparing a treated section to an untreated section doesn’t seem like a fair evaluation.
Bro this video was super helpful, thank you🙏🙏🙏
Glad it helped

Just use boot polish

My mats looks great w VRP but did feel slick as wet ice 🤣
Is there anything else you can use, this soap is 130.00
Great video, just I was looking for.
Nice, I love scrub ninjas. Thanks bro
Adam’s rubber floor mat cleaner works really well as well
How did you dilute? And this is only for matts?
like to see how long it last or cleaning when needed
This is what I've been needing. I'm anxious to see how all test results come out. (Longevity and maintenance specifically)
