Coated my interior!

[Treburkulosis]

So there are a lot of good products out there. Carpro Dlux is one. Ive been wanting to do it to my Ram. So off I went. I used Koch Chemie ASC to clean the hard plastics and then used Carpro Eraser to make sure nothing else was left behind. Then I used Undrdog Pro on the hard plastics. Cure time should be around 4 hours so 1 pm here. Some people may think of it as a waste of time or money, but it does the same thing shine wise as it does to the paint. Again Undrdog is so versatile as I have stated before. I used a blue applicator pad and a clean microfiber pad. I also used my scratch finder flash light to make sure I didn't get anything on the glass. about 16-18 drops to prime the pad and off you go. I waited roughly 4 minutes. You have plenty of time, but it is an interior so paint vs plastic is a different wait time. I leveled it with a microfiber towel and done. I also like Carpro Fabric, but I am out at the moment and so I have been playing around with this product at home. Its called Ecoshine Finest. I cleaned the seats with APC, and then sprayed it to the cloth. Wiped it to level it, and then waited 10 minutes and came back and wiped it again. We will see how it works as far as being hydrophobic. It seems to like glass so why not. Ill report back. I am going to vacuum out the truck later once the plastics dry and clean the carpets and try it on the carpets as well.

Great job, but U do have the expertise since U do for a living. WAY too much work for a BOIRD like me, lol.

Thanks BOIRD! In all honesty when I do my wifes Jeep, I will do a step by step. Its so easy to do. My kids can do it.

@turkeybird56 Here is a quick run down on how to do it. I just went out and did my mats. Get a good surface cleaner. Totally Awesome works well, but I used Koch Chemie ASC for this little write up. Spray the mat and clean it. Make sure you get all of the dirt off it. Then use something like wax and grease remover or for example I am using Carpro Eraser to make sure it is prepped and ready to coat. Wait until it is dry and then using a blue applicator pad drop out 16-20 drops and get to wiping. You dont have to worry about leveling it at this time. Do coat your mat and then wait 2-4 minutes. Its not hot or humid yet here, so I waited 4 minutes. Take a clean microfiber towel and level it. Leveling means just make sure it is all uniform. You dont want one area to be more glosser then the other. Flip your towel over and make sure you didn't miss anything. Wait 4 hours and it is done. 48 hours is the wait time before it can get wet. Rule of thumb with any coating is wait two weeks before you clean it. I am waiting on Joel the creator of Undrdog to text me back about what to use after its cured. I will report back when I know.

does it make the mat super slippery though?

Actually no. I was wondering if it would. It is no different then it was before the coating. The only difference is it will be easier to clean and seems to be staying cleaner as well.
