    I use this for Weathertech liners, black plastics on outside of truck, & side steps. it really keeps everything looking black without residue. Usually can get it on Amazon.

    That’s terrible advice man. That shit makes them slick and dangerous.
    OP, don’t do that. The high pressure and the brush at the car wash works best for me.

    WD40 will probably damage the product in the long run. I don't use WD40 on anything.

    I bought WeatherTech’s cleaner and protectant and it seems to do great. Makes them look almost new again without making them slick.

    Hit em with some dish soap, brush and elbow grease. Afterwards some Aerospace 303 something of the sort will keep them looking newer longer. This has worked wonders on my husky liners.

    Good to know, I might try this. I have the same issue with my wife's Weathertechs in her CHR. She works at a barn and I can't get it clean for the life of me no matter how much I soap and scrub.

    I use Simple Green Crystal (APC) diluted 1:15, scrub like hell, then wipe down with 303 Areospace Protectant. After a few hours I go back with a microfiber and wipe off the bulk of the 303 that didn't soak in to reduce the slickness. It works for me and it leaves them with a nice luster, not a high gloss.

    I hit em with the wand at the car wash, or just a scrub brush and soap at home with the hose. Regular armor all is ok, if it’s not too slippery, shouldn’t be if you wipe it off well. I wouldn’t waste good 303 on the part of the truck that’s not getting a lot of UV rays anyway.

    I just cleaned my WeatherTechs. Used Meguiars APC and a still bristled nylon brush. Clean water rinse. Then hit with my vapor steamer to remove some remaining areas where I spilled a drink

    Blacked out emblems, mudflaps, tint, nothing crazy.
    Sorry to revive a 10 day old thread, but ive always soaked my huskys and weathertechs in simple green, then followed up with some 303. As others have said, makes them a tiny bit slick, but hell, theyre a tiny bit slick when theyre new. This combo makes them look brand spankin new.
