Cleaning Tip Needed.

indacup · 07-08-2009, 11:30 PM

The stock rubber floor mat, as well as the rear fender rubber pads on top always look "dry".

How do I restore them to a nice luster?

I have cleaned them as best possible...I've tried tire dressing, Armour All...but once it drys up, they look old and "Dry".

Speaking of which, the cup holders look almost greyish...not black...yet this cart is less than 3 years old.

Any suggestions?

Use something like Krylon Fusion Paint

I have used the "for plastic" spray paint on mats and scuff pads. I suggest the "satin" or "semi-gloss" as it looks better. By the way-It works like a champ on the top/canopy also.

I have tried the "back to black" by mothers (I think) and it has worked pretty good at times.

Make sure if you go with the spray paint you either use the fusion paint or use adhesion promotor first then regular spray paint .The adhesion promoter softens up the plastic so the regular spray paint sticks .
You can also try lacquer thinner and a tire brush on the rubber but be very carefull because it will actually melt the rubber a bit but it eats through all the old crap on there .
