      They are far superior to any other liner I have used. They seem to be “off branding” to reach the masses, but there have been some comments from people who have vehicles they haven’t sized up. I hope they can fix that because they really are awesome.

    Well I have to admit I also spent 2 x 13 min watching you revive your Tuxmat floor mats.
    Definitely top quality to be able to survive to Canadian winter harshness.
    Pretty unbelievable quantity of salt and whatnot oozing out of these 😱!

    Rick I like your new intro for Rad. The mats look like a high end luxury product and I have no words for why they sent you the mats and never followed up. Canadian winters are harsh and the mats still look brand new. Hopefully spring will be here soon!

      The liners definitely lend a high class touch to the interior. I was reluctant to add a full coverage liner but I have been impressed. I never liked the look of the other ones that sported the diamond stitched leather pattern, but these have a sophisticated look and feel to them.

    The tux mats look more high end than Weathertech for sure. Might have to keep that in mind for the next car

    Waw. I was looking for this video. I have Tuxmats in my Highlander and X5 and love them. I was checking everywhere on guidance to keep them clean. This video is IT. Have to get mat and liner cleaner and get started. I already have Gummifix (GUF), but was hesitant to use it after Mat from Obsessed Garage trash the product.
    BTW. I love the Swisstrax video that you did with Jamie the Cleaner and provided you honest opinion. Love sense of humor and candor.

I have been using 2 products and it seems to be the only way to do a reset if the “new” appearance. I use Salt Eraser and MeKees’s floor mat & cargo liner Rejuvenator. Your mats look new.

    Hi Rick, never heard of Tuxmat until I watched your video. Previously, I’ve owned Weathertech mats for my ‘07 & ‘17 Tundra’s, they were decent enough. I wanted to get some Husky liners for my 2022 Corolla SE as they have pins for the passenger side to help prevent the mats from slip sliding away. They are a rubber type material and would probably stay in place better than the Weathertech ones, which, by their design, are pinless on the passenger side and a slippery plastic construction. Not to mention, they scuffed up easily and didn’t clean up the best. Geeze, I’m using a lot of words today and not saying much! I’m NOT a politician! I digress, I have a set of Tuxmat liners on their way to winter St. John’s as you are reading my verbal diarrhea. The fact they are Canadian, check all the boxes for me and I can get them in a couple weeks compared to ‘out of stock, unknown availability’ for the others previously mentioned, sealed the deal for me. I hope they reach out to you so you can give them some feedback on their product. Great video on a product I’m sure will be enjoyed for many years to come. Don’t vote for me, I’ll only be fiscally responsible, be accessible, be honest and trustworthy and do what I say I will do. All very bad traits for someone in public office.

    • @RADGarage
      @RADGarage  7 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Haha! I'm glad you took the plunge on the Tuxmat liners. I have a good feeling they will surpass the performance and look of both the WT's and the Huskies. I have had them all in the past. I also had 3D Maxspiders. None of them even compare to the Tuxmats. I'm also relieved to hear they carried the ones to fit your car. Some have complained they don't have them for their particular cars. I think that is why WeatherTech dominates the market - they have fitment for every car. Let me know how you like them once you've received them and had a chance to see them perform. Take care!

    Awesome videos as always. I just visited The Bays in Wheeling, IL and detail washed the Jeep. Funny I was debating whether to clean my floor matts and decided to tackle them. I just sprayed Griots Garage interior cleaner, brushed and wiped with a microfiber. I should have rinsed with rinseless wash. They were a salty, nasty mess, but turned out great for a winter clean. Your videos are amazing and love to see your detailing techniques and products. I am a Griots Garage fan and rarely try anything different other than Adams.

      That’s the process I use for “in-between” cleans. Just spray a little cleaner, agitate with a brush, vacuum out the gross mixture, then buff dry with a MF. This process is what I follow when the mood strikes. I have been to the Wheeling Bays location. Such a cool concept!

I had the edges rounded so no chance of cutting a finger and I had the sheets bent to accommodate the awkward couple of inches caused by the stemwall footing. I found the clamps on eBay back in the day. It's a very functional feature for me. I have to thank my HVAC guy for sourcing the stainless steel.
