Another fine demonstration... thanks
Seems like a really nice product. Thanks!
Nice looking results!
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 👍👊🚘
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 purchased the Gummixfix GUF from Josh and I agree it is a game changer! I highly recommend this product!
Great product thx for the demo
Nice, I love scrub ninjas. Thanks bro
Good video. I've been looking for something to spruce up these Weathertech floor mats.
Great video, just I was looking for.
Love your videos and the way you explain things keep it up ❤️
Let's go. KcX all the way. Thank you for all the vids.
Good tips, thank you!
Excellent video and information
Koch Chemie is really starting to become my favorite
Always an issue so can't wait to try. I have literally tried EVERYTHING. Thanks for the review.
Love the video. What pressure washer nozzle are you using? Love the wide angle rinse.
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.
Great video! I really need to get into the Koch Chemie game.
That looks great!! I wonder how it work on OEM rubber style all weather floor mats? Curious how long it lasts also.
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 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.
Very nice
Awesome
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 👍
Ahold have used the best Matt’s Weather Tech!
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
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.
Good to see you using high quality Koch Chemie products vs the Walmart crap
Wow looks promising. Maybe the formula is something similar to trim restoring products
I use Simple Green and Mop & Glo.
I use zep multi cleaner (orange) and wow it works great to mixed 50 50 concentration.
How long does it last ? Tyring to decide between this and chemical matt renew.
I love how informative your channel is, i've seen most of your videos on pressure washers and foam cannons and was wondering if you had any recommendations on foam cannons that do a good job with a low psi electric pressure washer. I currently have the craftsman 1700 psi you reviewed about a year ago but also don't want to spend $90 on a foam cannon
Try the Sooprinse Foam Cannon
This is what I've been needing. I'm anxious to see how all test results come out. (Longevity and maintenance specifically)
KCx makes some excellent products. Do you sell products direct at Mesa Rim road or only mail order?
Adam’s rubber floor mat cleaner works really well as well
Thanks for the video. Just stretching my imagination. Can this product be used on tires as well?
Which one do you recommend more, this one or the chemicals guys rubber cleaner you used?
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
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?
Do you think you can do a video on making the leather floor mats that cover the whole floor new next?
Can this be used on interior plastics like on the doors?
Hey Josh. What tasks can this be used for. What would u describe this as in as a product task name
Can't wait for this to become available in smaller sizes!!
👍👍👍 yea that will be perfect
@@imjoshv 😀have you seen my email?
I have just discovered your channel, but amazing review!!! You detailed all the steps, you showed how the solution behaves in time, not just after it was applied. 💯
303 aerospace protectant works good too
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!
What nozzle tip are you using on the pressure washer sprayer
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.????
Gotta add water to it to test slickness. A wet shoe could reactivate chemicals and cause a slick surface
I was gonna ask that
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.
Been looking for this exact solution! Any recommendations for when the edges start to curl in?
When temperatures get above the 90s, sit them in the sun with some weight on them.
Ohhh I think Josh is selling out. I will order my 128$ lifetime supply today!!!!!
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?
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
Use black liquid shoe polish first to darken the worn spots, then continue with the process.
How did you dilute? And this is only for matts?
Reminds me of the Agricola commercial when the guys is super cleaning his garbage cans. Lol
Would you dilute it or do you use it straight
What are some good spray bottles
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…
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.
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?
I mix AJAX powder (WITHOUT BLEACH!!!), windex, and dawn dish soap. This concoction work miracles. Good on carpet too.
303 protectant works great too
303's over-priced and slippery...
I wonder how this compares to chemical guys floor mat cleaner & protectant.
All right no more shoes in the car lol 😆
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?
What kind of longevity you seeing from PSS?
@@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
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
How long does the shine last?
Where can you get the products you used in this video?
like to see how long it last or cleaning when needed
Where did you get that hose nozzle??
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.
Thanks, I will wait for the 1-liter shipment as 5-liter is too much to store
I’m hoping they release them soon!
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.
What gun you using?
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 UA-cam 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.
Can this be used in other interior surfaces such as softex leather like seats, dashboard, doors etc
You really only want to use this on areas your feet touch. Top Star would be the product for the rest.
did you dilute gummifix or no?
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 UA-cam 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.
Yea they will be releasing a 1L size very soon!
is there any discount codes for his site?
Is this stuff better then Ts ??? Or they both do the same job. .ur thoughts
Guf is non slick where Top Star is.
Stoner Trim and after a good cleaning for me.
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?
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.
Good stuff but the Koch web site doesn't even describe the product or what it's used for. Glad I found this video.
Hey Josh, thanks for making this video. How have the mats held up on the mats you applied it to? None of the videos on the Internet address this, so it would be great to know how well it holds up looking great. Thanks!
Hey Alex, Ill do an update video soon but just to answer your question, it didnt last super long. Think of it as a tire dressing for the interior. Makes a huge visual impact but doesnt last too long. The more rubber mats vs this one that is a bit more plastic feeling seem to last longer cause the product has more to absorb in to
@@imjoshv I appreciate the response man. Look forward to the update video. From the quick glance this seemed like the perfect solution to reviving the look of the mats without the slickness. So it’s good to know that it’s not a long term solution. I just got my 1L bottle of Gummifix in so I’ll give it a shot. Thanks Josh, keep shreddin.
I did see another detailer used Renew Blak tire ceramic coating on the floor mats. That may be the long term solution then I’m looking for and need to try. He said it’s not slick at all after application.
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!
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.
Where can I get that stuff at
IMJOSHV x KCX = 🏆
My mats looks great w VRP but did feel slick as wet ice 🤣
Josh which all weather floor mats do you typically buy?
Honestly whatever I can find on Amazon. I feel like they are all well cut and designed now
@@imjoshv Thanks! Weathertech & Husky are so expensive. I know some swear by it, but I'd rather spend that money on detail product :)
@@imjoshv As an update we ended up ordering Lasfit mats for our 2023 Civic. They fit perfect with no trimming. Had an Amazon GC too. Even at $109 full price they're not bad. They're just as nice as Weathertech mats too. Not to mention half the cost. They don't offer trunk options though.
Is there anything else you can use, this soap is 130.00
for a home owner is it worth to buy a separate product just for these mats? are there any alternatives that we would already have on hand for these mats
If you already have a apc like super clean just diluted it like 4:1 or so depending on the condition
@@katser5023 ty for the response sir but i was talking about the coating
I like an APC to clean mats and then I use CarPro Perl for protection. It leaves mats a tiny bit slick for a day or 2, but once they are dry and used a tiny bit, they are just fine. Just be aware that if they get wet in those first couple days, they will be more sick than if you don’t treat them at all.
Wow, dawn, elbow grease and water works fine for me.
Could you please help us to send sample back?
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.
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
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
