    VRP on weathertechs

    Has anyone here used Chemical Guys VRP on weather tech mats?

    I have been using spraying them with water, spraying with diluted AP cleaner, brushing, then rinsing and drying to clean them, then I have been using the weather tech brand protectant on them after (I got a bottle for really cheap)

    I am almost out of the weather tech stuff, but I have currently been using chemical guys VRP as a tire dressing, I was just wondering if anyone uses VRP on weather techs?

    Is VRP water based? If so then I dont see why not BUT put it on very very very very very lightly. I usually spray my dressing into the air and swipe my towel through the mist as it falls to wipe down floor mats IF I use dressing at all on them. BE VERY CAREFUL PUTTING DRESSING ON FLOOR MATS

    It is water based.

    It is a thick liquid, sold in a squeeze bottle rather than a spray.
    Maybe I should dilute it and put it in a spray bottle

    Rocker1911- Welcome to Autopia! Your user-name makes me think of a certain, uhm....tool...that my wife and I appreciate

    IMO you oughta stick with the Weathertech product. Though I`ve never used it, just letting mine get however they get (as long as they`re clean).

    Thank you! I am a fan of the JMB designed tool as well.

    I am not crazy about the protection level of the weather tech stuff.

    To be fair, on my previous wether techs, I used full strength AP cleaner. I think that was too harsh

    Rocker1911- Ah, wonder if the potent cleaner was overkill...did it seem to mess with `em in a way that the protectant couldn`t, uhm...bring back?

    And yeah..JMB came up with all sorts of great things that are still getting the job done.

    That is what i am thinking, when i got a new (to me) car, i got weather techs just before it started snowing here, i put a coating of the weather tech stuff on, but haven`t had a chance to clean them again

    Heh heh, I bet most Autopians would be pretty mortified with the cosmetics of my Weathertechs/Huskies Well, the Huskys aren`t all that bad, somehow they seem to look decent with just cleaning...so far.

    I’m scared of using protectants on rubber mats, too slippery. I just use Megs APC 4:1 and keep them clean. I don’t spray the rubber pedals either. Are there any protectants that aren’t slippery?

    IIRC there`s one from DuraGloss that`s supposed to be OK in that regard.

    I put Perl on my weathertechs. But then, I put Perl on everything.

    The weather tech spray isn`t slippery.

    I spay it one. (Get a fine mist over the whole mat) the wipe the excess off

    I just started using Perl on my tires and they look good. What dilution did you use? Was it slick?
