Ok you are in your car, what are some do’s and don’ts. Of course I would love to say don’t eat or drink in your vehicle but in today’s go, go world I know that’s not always an option. So let’s talk about things you can consume safely. As a detailer I can tell you there are 3 color stains that will never come out. Those are RED, ORANGE, and YELLOW. Do not ever consume food or drinks of these colors in your cars. Stick to clear liquids to be safe, but I have had fairly good success removing most coffee and some soda spills depending on how soon I get them. Also a good fabric protector like 303 fabric guard will go a long way to help you avoid those permanent accidents. They will cause liquids to bead up, stay on the surface and not absorb into the fibers. This will give you time to wipe them up.
Floor mats are a must. I’m always surprised at the amount of people I see with no mats in their cars. It is so much easier to remove a mat, shake it off, vacuum, or pressure wash it then to try to clean the dirty floor in your car. As for the mats themselves, rubber/ plastic are hands down your best option. I do think cloth looks better. This is why on my own car I have the rubber all weather mat on my driver side that sees every single mile and the cloth ones everywhere else. I will also like to say that Weather Tech mats are absolutely worth their price. If you invest in these your carpets will remain the way they were the day it rolled off the assembly.
