Protecting your Car. A little Insurance

Whenever you see this phrase “Protecting your car” in association with car detailing it is almost always invariably about ceramic paint protection benefits. The inside of your car is just as important and I’m not talking about fabric/leather/vinyl protection here either, which again are definitely tools that will aid you in keeping your vehicle at it’s best.

I’m talking about mats. I won’t get into specific manufacturers or anything like that, let’s just say though they are all looking at ways to keep the prices down and the humble carpet in your cars has been a victim of that. You rarely hear of people replacing the carpets in the car because lets face it, it is an expense that is tough to justify. I remember hearing a detailer say to client after he had done his best cleaning some carpets that had been lets say poorly treated “if you had these carpets in your home you would have thrown them out a long time ago”. While I don’t necessarily agree with the way the detailer dealt with it I do understand the sentiment. The problem for detailers is because the quality of the carpets is poor you have to be a more careful in the cleaning and there is only so much you can do.

So as a car owner what to do? You buy car mats the irony is that the carpet quality on mid range to upper end fitted floor mats is generally pretty good. You don’t have to buy from dealerships there are many options out there.

The pic below is a graphic example of how mats (along with a detailer with a peg on his nose!) helped make a very bad situation easier to fix.
