CarPro Perl and Reload on Floor Mats



I have the all weather mats in my Kia and although we don’t seem to get anything more than hot and dry weather around here, they are excellent and holding in beach sand from my post-surf sessions.

Last week I wanted to revive them, so I used diluted PowerClean and coated the passenger side mat with Perl and the driver’s side with Reload (two coats). They baked in the smoke-hazy sun for about twenty minutes.

The next day when I got home from the beach, I took out the driver’s mat and was expecting to blast it with water to get it clean, but just a low rinse from the garden hose for a couple seconds and it was totally clean.


Yes, the mat feels more slippery under my feet. So I am not advocating this method of protection for other people. I was already scolded by a friend for doing this. Look, I need to experiment; and it’s best done on my own vehicles.


Post-washing with a damp microfiber and PowerClean.

After applying with PERL.

And just realized I don’t have a photo of the driver side mat after putting reload on it. It was the same dark black as the other one, though.

Yep. Your friend is right. Besides there are great products out there that make cleaning these types of mats so easy and leaves them looking great. I have been using this with solid results and a very low price point

Try Carpro Pearl at about 20:1 with water on the mats. I splash a bit on, spread it out with a brush, and then wipe the excess off with a towel. Gets the mats looking much better with no slipping around. Pearl at about 20:1 is my go to for leather also.

Applying a liquid like perl never worked out for me
I use an aerosol spray can to coat my mats- lot faster and perfect easy even coverage, no liquid left in grooves

BUT it is more $$

I use Megs Hyper Dressing 5:1 spray it on kinda heavy let it sit for about 5-10 mins then come back with the blower and blow off the residue, awesome finish no slip at all

I find poorboys natural look does a great job bringing back the original look of the weathertech floor mat.

Duragloss Rubber & Flat Black Dressing (RBD) #271

Some have used the Duragloss on the floor liners. A alt. to the weathertech dressing. I use the Mc Kees Floor liner cleaner and rejuvenator. Grabbed a gallon during the sale when they dropped the line here. My 2 year old liners look like new. I do not put any thing extra on them.
