Mats were protected with Wolf's Textile Sealant


Weather Tech mats were cleaned up with warm water and 1Z einszett Plastic Deep Cleaner and protected with Wolf's Trim Coat



Some nice beading generated and a good indication it was properly applied


then we applied the Wolf's Chemcials Nano Leather Sealant, you can clearly see which side was coated



New tire tend to have gunk on them.


We removed it with Stoners Tarminator and Auto Finesse Obiltarate


So you remember the before shots didn't look to bad, here is the car all cleaned up - light scratches through out, water spots, swirls, imperfections.


After Menzerna FG400 and Sonax 4/6 we were able to remove the defects.


More of the same imperfections



After

A pillar



Fenders



We were lucky to get some sun!

they are not super slick LOL, they are a matte finish to provide protection and ease of rinsing off the salt and dirt off the mats.
