Does that product make the WT's slippery? I once used a tire shine on the WT liners and they were really slippery afterwards.
WeatherTech mat cleaning tips
Love the WeatherTech mats I bought 5-years-ago for my daily driver Ridgeline. I've got a couple of WeatherTech mat detailing tips I've come up with I'd like to share, sorry if someone else has already thought of these.
#1 I find that removing the WT mats from my truck creates a lot of static electricity, the static charge causes a lot of the grass clippings and lighter debris on the WT mat to jump up and cling to the lower half of the dashboard. So, when I'm done drying off my truck, I drape the wet towel across the WT mat before I remove it, the damp towel dissipates nearly all of the static charge and the mat comes out without getting the bottom of my dash dirty.
#2 I've tried a lot of cleaners (dish soap, Simple Green, 409, Comet, etc.) and techniques, but my 5-year-old grey WT mats retain a brown stain from years of use. Today I tried Black Magic Bleche-White tire cleaner and a stiff bristle brush. Spray the dry mats with the Bleche-White, let it sit for a minute or so, then use light to medium pressure with a stiff bristle brush to scrub (don't push down hard and make the bristles bend, you want the tips of the bristles to do all the work). Scrub, rinse and the my grey mats are back to their original grey!
