These things stink like brand new rubber. What would be better, dish detergent or Adams car wash?

I washed a previous set (back in 2002) with dish detergent and I think it worked well but can't recall.

Thanks

between the two, Car Wash would be fine. I use P21S Auto Wash (if you have it)

2nd on the p21 auto wash . works great on rubber mats

Of all the things I have bought and spent money on this month, I actually don't have that....

griot's rubber cleaner works well

Good tip, what about dish detergent?

Kimchee

dish detergent is worse than car wash soap

Raistlin

It says that it stips down the rubber so that you can add stuff over it to bring back the rubber condition.

I don't need to strip down the brand new rubber mats because I don't want to apply anything.

Is the Griots rubber cleaner still a good option, or should I just use a very small amount of Adams car wash?

Thanks

THe only way you would strip rubber is by drying it out and rubbing it or using a solvent.

Anytime you clean rubber, you want to dress it or protect it to prevent it from drying out. 303 Aerospace has a rubber protectant that you can use after you clean it to prevent it from drying.

the soak into the rubber and don't leave a residue.
