Key features & specs

The following table outlines the technical specifications for this automotive interior cleaner.

How it compares

Unlike standard all-purpose cleaners that can dry out rubber over time, Chemical Guys Mat ReNew targets the specific pores of synthetic polymers. While many interior protectants leave behind a slick residue that makes pedals dangerous, this formula is engineered to maintain the original grip of the surface. It provides a more durable barrier against UV rays than generic soapy water, ensuring that black mats do not turn grey or chalky after repeated cleanings.

How to use it

1. Remove the floor mats from the vehicle and shake off loose debris or dirt.
2. Rinse the mats thoroughly with water to remove heavy mud or grit.
3. Spray Chemical Guys Mat ReNew directly onto the mat surface while it is still damp.
4. Agitate the surface with a stiff nylon brush to break up stubborn stains and ingrained grime.
5. Rinse away the excess foam and product with clean water.
6. Dry the mats completely with a microfiber towel or compressed air before reinstalling them.
