Hi Rick, hood the family is healthy and safe, and your son's hockey is going well. I want to thank you for introducing me to TuxMat. Knowing we needed a new everyday vehicle before leaving Italy, where we have been since October, we called our local BMW dealership. We asked them to have an X5 ready before our return (long-time customer), and I ordered a set of TuxMats. Like you, love them, the way they fit, and high up they come. I want to thank you, and I told TuxMat, they owe you big time for introducing them to your viewers. Also, love you shop manager Oscar.
That's awesome. I haven't heard back from the guy at Tuxmat that reached out to me in the beginning, but I am hoping I can forge some sort of relationship with the team at Tuxmat to bring about some incentive/discount for buyers. Still working on it. I trust you enjoyed your Italian getaway.
Sheer perfection, per usual. I admire the productivity - even on a Sunday when you "don't have any projects planned," you found something. Nicely done!
Show room finish right there Rick! I loved these tiny detailed shots when you clean the small crevices around the door and around the center console. Terrific job once again!
Thanks so much. It's always a struggle limited the extent to which I go on a weekly refresh project because, as I am sure you know, there is no real limit to how far you can go into the small spaces on an interior detail. I plan on doing a full extent detail in the Spring.
I am proud of how well it cleans up after 4+ years of daily duty. I have always stayed on top of things, and this is the point of ownership where you really see the pay off. Thanks for your compliment, Tim. Take care.
hello! Greetings from Russia. I enjoy looking at your projects. although I found the channel relatively recently. rewatched the videos from last year. this is great!!! I really like your approach to business, how everything is filmed. success!!! and as we say ... not a nail or a policeman!!!
That's such a cool saying! Thanks for taking time to view my present and past videos. I take a lot of pride in my presentation, so it is great to hear viewers appreciate my style and approach. Take care. 🤘
Love the real daily driver Looking show room ready. Makes me want to go out in the -4 temp and clean up the inside of mine. Just came back from walking my dogs. Really enjoyed watching while having my Sunday morning coffee. Keep up the great videos. You are a good motivator for us weekend detailers that have the passion. Rob. St John’s NL
Thanks for the supportive comment, Rob. It is a full-time job trying to keep with car maintenance inside and out, but at least I have the space to make it enjoyable. Best of luck to you and your pursuit of a clean ride!
It's a really great music selection on this one. Of course, the video is spot on as always ..... Realised I need to use more brushes inside now to get the maximum cleaning effort from products...
Yes Dave, you need more brushes. Everyone does! LOL I am fortunate to have so many awesome musical artists allowing me to feature their tracks in my videos. Honestly, it is the best part of it all. 🎵
@RAD Garage do you have favourite brushes for interior work? You got a great amount of foamy cleaning on your leather and again on the interior... I hear Detail Factory are the choice of many and yours did look very soft bristles
I'm really into my new Proper Detailing brushes. There's also one I received in a Glovebox order this summer that is just incredible for interiors. I'm not sure who makes it, but it says Glovebox on it. Let me do some digging. I know Detail Factory brushes have great feedback and I have used them, but they didn't really leave me satisfied.
What a great way to start a Saturday, with coffee and a Rad Garage video! The Audi looks like it is still in the showroom, amazing job as usual. I see you now have an "assistant" helping you as well, you should be able to finish in half the time now, ha ha! Have a great weekend, Rick.
Those Tuxmat's look freaking luxurious! I definitely have to pick up some of those pearl weave towels for interior cleaning. You've also sold me on the Adam's cleaner that we discussed awhile back. As always Rick, awesome production once again!
Hi mate ! What a nice moment I spent watching your video. Hot coffee with some nice hand-made cookies, lying in my couch...☕ Wish I could fly to your place and spend some hours with you around a nice car to detail and enjoy your garage 🤩! Nice combo used to tackler your interior. Stay RAD 🤜🤛 ! Greg
Nice job Rick, Is there a product out there that we can apply on the tuxmats that would protect rhem and keep them nice looking naturally it would have to be anti slip.
Hey Rick looks amazing!!!! On the tuxmats do you have any issues with the clips that hold the mats in place? Meaning when talking them out every time to clean them is there adhesive/ tape on the back?
Thanks. I don’t actually use the clips. These things fit my car so perfectly, they aren’t necessary. This makes them much easier to remove when it is time for cleaning.
I do use leather coatings time to time, but with the amount of regular cleaning my interior sees, I don't really see much point in using coatings as they only seem to last a few months and don't really provide me with any tangible benefits. I get why some people love them, but I'm satisfied with regular "refresh" cleanings like the one featured here. Thanks for the question.
Amazing results. Quick question. Any specific reason to switch from interior lather to Gyeon Leather cleaner for the seats? Doesn’t interior lather works great on leather?
It’s a great question. I noticed Detail Firm recommends diluting the Interior Lather 4:1 for leather and I didn’t have the patience so I just grabbed the Gyeon Leather Cleaner.
Again, great work. I love those Tuxmats, man. Question on your leather work...how do you get the lather built up? I use Griot's 3-1 spray and just can't get it. Type of brush or type of chemical?
I find some interior cleaners lather up so nicely, and the recently acquired GloveboxRx Interior Cleaner reacts very nicely when used in combination with an ultra soft brush. I have a few of those style of brushes and they are just amazing to work with.
Is there a significant difference between the Adams rubber cleaner and the Adams mat cleaner? I typically just use the rubber cleaner on the OEM mats for the Golf R. Do you see advantages to using the mat cleaner?
I have a question reffering to seats and steering wheel cleaning.. Are you wiping the material with dry or wet towel? ( I use KochChemie Po for leather but dunno if i need to wipe with wet or dry towel after aplication)
Great question. Personally, after a few passes with a dry microfibre towel, I reach for a new one. I will go through quite a few 320 GSM towels on an interior detail. Slightly damp is fine for me, but once they are actually "wet", I don't use them any longer.
I enjoy all your videos, i can’t order the interior cleaner by glovebox, it doesn’t show on the website. Do you recommend any other interior cleaner for my sq5
Yeah, cleaning alcantara is a bit of an intimidating prospect. I go back to the principle that can be removed from anything with the right product and process. A mild interior cleaner with slight agitation should be enough to dislodge the dirt from the fibres, but you would need an effective way of extracting that liquid without grinding it back into the fibres. I know Car Cleaning Guru did a video a while back on his alcantara Ford Escort seats, but it was a pretty major process. I have yet to come across heavily soiled Alcantara.
Yeah, I hear you. Just go easy on the amount of liquid. It's not like you are submersing them in water. You can always spray your preferred cleaner onto a soft microfibre if that make you feel less nervous.
Great way to start the long weekend. I’ll get a go fund me started to raise some funds to replace the cracked bezzle around the shifter. Maybe if you tidy up a few more loaners, the go fund me won’t be necessary and they’ll just take care of you. 😎😎 . Keep up the fantastic work
Looks like new! I see you had a helper today 🐕. How's the floor drain doing in the garage? How often are you having to empty it? The floormat rinsing reminded me of it.
I am finding there is no need to empty it since most of the water in the basin evaporates. The dry winter air seems to suck it up brilliantly, and any humidity in the garage caused by that evaporation is captured by my Frigidaire dehumidifier. So, it's a perfect system! PS. The dog was no help! All he did was bark and carry on like an undisciplined toddler! 😂
Always 🔝 quality on your videos! 👏🏼, personally I had to remove my Tux Mats, I just wasn't able to keep them clean or even proper, they will be my summer fit for sure.
I find the fronts easy enough to remove for cleaning, but the one big one for the rear is a bit of a pain. I wish there was a way to separate the left and right rear liners from each other while retaining the protection for the transaxle tunnel.
My tuxmats are starting to get dirty and we’re going skiing on Monday so good to see they clean up nicely. I’ll be sure to give the rubber door seals some extra love as per the video
Great work Rick. Every time you do an interior clean, it looks like your stepping into a brand new car! One question, what would be your go to interior all purpose cleaner?
Thanks Mike. I have a few favourites for the interior. Besides the products used in this video, I love Interior Detailer from Gyeon, Leather & Interior Cleaner by Adam's, LIthium's Inner Space and Cockpit Premium by Nextzett. I have no shortage of products I enjoy using on interior projects.
I find conditioning leather on a weekly basis overkill. As for pricing, not my domain but no one is forcing you to do anything you are uncomfortable with. How’s the Porsche?
Perfect start to my Saturday afternoon (UK) love Oscar how he popped up at the start. Totally unexpected 🤩
He was super curious what was going on!

Amazing job Rick. That's a pretty dramatic transformation for a couple of hours, the right products, and some elbow grease.
When I am in the mood, I can spend hours on the interior. Other times, I have zero patience for them! 😂
Ah! a Saturday night treat🤩
Enjoy! 🙏
If Tuxmat wanted a commercial for how their mats performed, this is it! Cheers Rick!
I am definitely impressed and I’m glad I went this direction.
This was a movie. That glove box interior cleaner created a nice lather. The inside is so nice on the Audi.
It is becoming one of my faves. The lather power is 💯!
Sheer perfection, per usual. I admire the productivity - even on a Sunday when you "don't have any projects planned," you found something. Nicely done!
Grinding my way to the top! 🤘
Nice refresh to your interior Rick!
Thanks Joe and thanks for taking part in last night's livestream.
This made me want to go clean the inside of my SUV. Thanks.
I feel this to be the ultimate compliment!

Always my pleasure, Paul.
Awesome, Rick!
Need more scenes with Oscar 👍
He's a bit camera shy, but maybe I can get him to help me more often!
Wow Rick, you do such a thorough job. That interior looks pristine! 😮😎
I am proud of how well it cleans up after 4+ years of daily duty. I have always stayed on top of things, and this is the point of ownership where you really see the pay off. Thanks for your compliment, Tim. Take care.
One word…WOW 😳, your attention to detail (detailing) 😉 is amazing sir. Great job 👍🏻. Have a great week Rick 🙂🙋🏼♂️👍🏻
Thanks very much. I enjoy what I do and find it satisfying to share it with others that feel the same.
Nice interior clean
Looks great
Thanks 👍
Perfect ASMR video, thanks! Love the music. Interior is still looking brand new and those mats are perfect. Thanks Rick. 🖖
Thanks PR. The Tuxmat liners look OEM to me now after a few months. I am very satisfied with their appearance and performance.

Hey Rick! Thanks for posting, and I love a clean interior. It just makes your ride that more enjoyable. Till the next one.
See you on the next one, Wayne! 🤘
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 nicely done!
I would have used the Interior Lather on the leather but didn't have a spray bottle for the 4:1 dilution recommended.
Nice work . Good video 🔥🔥🔥

I think we would have a great time just hanging out!
Nice job Rick,
Is there a product out there that we can apply on the tuxmats that would protect rhem and keep them nice looking naturally it would have to be anti slip.
I'm reluctant to use a dressing on the floor mats. I just like the clean OEM finish.
Dope videos as always
Appreciate that! 🤘
Keeping the interior clean is so addictive. I get comments all the time about the extreme cleanliness of my cars. I can’t help it!!!
Let's be honest, that is where you spend the bulk of your time, so why not keep it pristine! 💎
Hey Rick looks amazing!!!! On the tuxmats do you have any issues with the clips that hold the mats in place? Meaning when talking them out every time to clean them is there adhesive/ tape on the back?

Thank you Rick I was saying that watching the video that they fit perfectly.
Great work and editing 👌 Do you use any leather protection? How about Gyeon leather coat, gyeon shield or Koch LS?
I do use leather coatings time to time, but with the amount of regular cleaning my interior sees, I don't really see much point in using coatings as they only seem to last a few months and don't really provide me with any tangible benefits. I get why some people love them, but I'm satisfied with regular "refresh" cleanings like the one featured here. Thanks for the question.
Clean to another level, very enjoyable and loved the music 👍
Thanks Jason. It was a nice way to spend a few hours. Unfortunately, the floor mats are once again filthy! 😬

Flawless work as always, Rick. What product did you use on the dash and doors? Still the Turtle Wax?
I believe I used Glovebox RX Interior Cleaner for all non-glass surfaces.
@@RADGarage Awesome! Thanks!
Is there a significant difference between the Adams rubber cleaner and the Adams mat cleaner? I typically just use the rubber cleaner on the OEM mats for the Golf R. Do you see advantages to using the mat cleaner?
The mat clean lathers up like shaving cream and leaves a slightly less shiny look.
I have a question reffering to seats and steering wheel cleaning..

That's weird. I have a few "go-to" interior cleaners. My faves are Interior Detailer by Gyeon and Adam's Interior Detailer. They are both awesome.
Have an SQ5 also, but my seats have Alcántara inserts. Any tips on recommended products and procedure?
Yeah, cleaning alcantara is a bit of an intimidating prospect. I go back to the principle that can be removed from anything with the right product and process.
