Default Cleaning / rejuvenating vinyl flooring

Apologies in advance if I missed this somewhere, I promise I did search.

Is there something I can use to make the interior vinyl floor look decent....similar to what something like Armor-All would do as far as appearance but naturally.....not make it slippery?

thanks -

Yeah. I have some vinyl and leather cleaner that I spray on the floor and seats when I feel necessary. Its in a tan bottle forget the name of it.

Lexol.

Test any and all products for slickness....if slick it can migrate from your shoes to your pedals and then it becomes a safety issue.

look at chemical guys. use the non-sense cleaner w/ a scrub brush(like a tire cleaning brush). from there I like VRP but you have to wipe it off after you let it sit. Its dry to the touch. I've accidently gotten it on a steering wheel and had no issues with it other than it was shiny, can't "feel" that its there.


almost forgot...if it looks really rough you can treat it with Aerospace 303...stuff is awesome for restoring trim if you soak it.

I came across this after trolling through another site:

Anyone have any experience with this?

never seen it.
given that it has no silicone it wouldn't hurt to try it. silicone will deteriorate vinyl like nothing else.
I still stand behind the 303 treatment above, its about the same price on amazon. I need to find some before/after pictures of my 95 lightning's detailing process. I soaked the old weather stripping in a tub of 303 and it went from hard and brittle to pliable like it should be and stayed that way. had a blackmax bed cover and it worked some magic there too.

Personally, I use a 50/50 mix of water and Mop&Glo. Its a little tidbit that was handed down to me when I was driving a hay truck. Keeps the floors looking good/cleans them, its not slippery, and it will make it easier to just sweep or blow dirt out, instead of it sticking to it.

Just mix it up in a spray bottle, spray it down, and scrub/wipe it down with a rag.

This intrigued me so I went 2 parts water to 1 of Mop-n-glow on my mats (all but driver) in both cars (Weathertech in our Pilot and MaxPider 3d in the F150) so I'll report back. Initial impressions.....pretty awesome. Thanks!

My work trucks mostly all have vinyl floors and when I clean one of them I first vacuum the heavy soiling up then mix some cleaner and water in a pail. Using a scrub brush i splash some on the floor and scrub away and keep adding new water then when it's all be scrubbed very well I vacuum the water up with a shop vac looks brand new. And if you want a very light coating of armor all or something like 303 protectant.
