An Alternative To Weathertech Dressing

[richy]

I love my Weathertech but didn't want to buy their Techcare dressing just for the mats...but, I was having a hard time finding something suitable.

I had some Duragloss Flat Black and Rubber dressing. I put it on with a foam applicator. It looks better but not the "wet" look. I like it. Plus I already had this great product on hand...any excuse to try a Duragloss product otherwise.

Cleaned with LATA and a scrub brush. Dried in the sun. Wiped down after application. I spent like 10 minutes doing this.

Thanks. This is the second time I did it. I did it about a year ago and was very satisfied with the results back then. It lasted a lot longer than I actually thought it was going to.

Are you confined to your home also?

Looks great, Richy!

I too am not very concerned about "gloss" on my Weather Techs. Just want them clean.

Great info.

We left to go to Florida on the 12th and returned early on the 19th. My employer has asked me and the Canadian government is suggesting we as a family self isolate. Luckily we all feel good after 7 days. In fact I cleaned both cars inside and out and polished both out and topped it with Feynlab Top Coat.
Here is my Lincoln that I finished last night.

No, direct order through their website. Self heal coatings have to be done by an authorized installer. There's a map on their site.

I love Megs' products. I started using Ceramic coatings at the very beginning with the original Opti-Coat. Nothing is better than Feynlab in my humble opinion.

I may catch some heat for this but at least I have my flame suit on.. Here goes, I really wish more Americans would follow through when “asked” to stay home and shelter, as opposed to running out and about.

Glad to hear you and your family are feeling well, and good to see you back on AGO.

Thanks Jim! Gearing up for the new season...however that may look.

Man they look good!! Any slickness to them?

No, not at all. To be honest I don't think they look as good in the pics as they do in person. It's strange, the duragloss product brings out the texture in the plastic but doesn't give it a horrible glossy shine. If you work the product in more and use more of it you will get a slightly higher shine but this is a flat black dressing after all. There is no slickness to it whatsoever and it just looks damn good in my opinion. That's why I thought I would make this post.

I have also tried several products and they all left the liners slick as a baby's butt. My problem is finding the right color since my liners are a dark khaki color.
