Actually, there are a lot of helpful videos on youtube on this topic. The first time I cleaned my mats, I used the advice I heard in those videos. And it worked. But once, I was so crazy that I decided to give those mats a proper pressure wash so I could see my own reflection in them. Luckily my friend from https://sparklewash.com/ knew how to do it to not to tear apart my mates. And, actually, it worked great for me. So, sometimes pressure washing can really be an option. Anyway, keep us updated. Stay tuned. Good luck

I take mine out and wash them when I wash the truck (hose, soapy brush, rinse).  Getting them in or out is a bit of a pain, but never seemed too bad.  If they’re not too dirty, which is often the case, I just wipe them down with a rag.

Just did mine this weekend. If they're really dirty, I'll take them out power wash them. It's not difficult to get them out or to put them back in, at all.

 

They weren't very dirty this time so I sprayed with a cleaner, wiped them with a rag, scrubbed a few spots with a soft bristle brush. After that I spray them with a dressing and wipe it down with a rag to restore the brand new look.

Yes. Take them out. Spray a little degreaser on them. Let sit for 30-45 seconds.  Take a bristle brush to them. Go to town in them.  Spray excess off, let air dry or wipe off. All done. Very easy.  Have done it so many times detailing its exhausting. 🤦‍♂️🤷‍♂️😂

100% agree with that statement. Especially when it's 100+° outside. Did the interior Saturday... I'll get the exterior later one day this week in the evening, when the sun is low enough for my driveway to be in the shade from the house and it's cooled down to 98°. 🥵

Detailing is a job in itself, to some it rarely happens, for me it's a weekly ritual.

      I've tried everything and still have the rattle.  My next thing to eliminate is the seatbelt connection on the real pillar.  The cover seems loose and could be the source.  I found one of my grandsons video games in the back seat rest compartment   and had a glimmer of joy, but that wasn't it.  I'll keep trying.

      I'm tangentially aware of what Harley used to be, back in my riding days, although I was into Italian sport bikes. Ducati seems to have gone the other way; still very expensive, but they've made a large subset of their bikes a lot more reliable and accessible, and they've diversified their lineup to include other riding sports too. IMO, a good example of where greed and growth might have also been beneficial to the consumer.   Although GM is charging a relative premium for its most popular pickups, I find that there are some excellent value propositions in its lineup as well.   The Colorado still strikes me as the most attractive midsize on the market, and also the most reasonably priced given capability and features. There's a part of me that wishes I would have bought one instead of my Silverado.   The Equinox ...I must be getting old. The ICE equinox is a great design IMO. Probably because it reminds me visually of an actual SUV aka an S Blazer. Underneath it's nothing even remotely close, but it LOOKS good. It's got all the modern features plus some at a very reasonable price. If I had to run out and buy myself a daily commuter to do everything except tow, an Equinox would be on my list.   It does bug me that mid-tier 1500's reach into the 50-60k range, and Tahoes and Burbs are even more expensive. Less than 10 years ago, dealers were sitting on rows of Tahoe LS and LT's for low 40's. You could even still find Tahoes with a front bench, still!

      Big oil is raking in billions from the Iran war. Can it avoid Trump’s fury?   Remember I said Big Oil is 'Vertically Integrated"?   Even as they no longer own the majority of the "Pump" they still own the "Well". Crude price upward pressure does not translate into that same pressure on production. Pumping cost remain unaffected and the gap is pure profit. Even after subtraction of a minor, comparatively, lower amount from supposed, but not always, realized refining volume. Consumers hate war, Big Oil, not so much.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      We live in a world where the average person expects more. People say wages and our needs are farther apart. My first new home had 3 bedrooms and one bedroom. My first car and truck had what would be considered a stripped or work vehicle. In my neighborhood back then there were more homes like that and cars too. Middle managers and second home buyers worked their way up to the fancy houses and cars. Car loans were 3 years. GM had different models of cars for different income levels. The cars were pretty much the same size if you wanted a big vehicle. The nameplate designated the opulence. Chevy, Pontiac, Buick, Oldsmobile and Cadillac.  To be fair some of the cost is government mandated. We can’t blame them for giving us what people will pay for. Careful advertising steering people towards more profitable SUVs and trucks. As I learned recently a minivan is a cheaper more efficient form of transportation. Certainly easier to live with. Somebody realized the profit margin wasn’t as big and gave it a soccer mom label. So it lost its coolness. They’re making it the masses are buying it. You hit your hand with a hammer you can’t blame the hammer.
