Don’t you love getting into a new car?  The new car scent and the newness and cleanliness of the interior are almost intoxicating.  It’s so clean you could almost eat off the floor.  Well, what one step could we take to help keep our cars looking as new as when they were first purchased and to best impress the girls and the ladies?  To install high quality floor mats.  Now, its important to understand that there are several different grades and types of floor mats and there is an equally huge difference in effectiveness between them.

First there are the dollar floor mats.  They are of the lowest grade and quality.  They are generally one size fits all and they are so small that they do not cover the majority of the floor in your car or truck.  The protection they provide is very minimal and similar to a half done cleaning job – half is done and half is not at all.  They usually only come in 3 colors and clear and they are thin and very flimsy.  You can usually find them for under $5 at your local discount dollar store like Dollar General.  As with most things in life, you get what you pay for and, albeit they are better than nothing, they are basically for reselling cars to make the car look a little better or to hide floor stains and holes.  They are also absolutely worthless in the winter and snow.  Also, classy girls and ladies do not get in cars with these kinds of floor mats.

The next level costs on average $10 to $20 and can be found at your local Walmart or for a few dollars more at your local Autozone, PepBoys or similar auto parts and supply store.  They are more sturdy, much larger and are cut to fit for a much better fit.  They can even contain a little dirt and water which is especially important in northern climates during the winter season.  These are decent and tend to have more color choices.  There are also aftermarket carpet mats which start in this range.  These should be avoided as they wear just like the carpet and are not as easy to clean as the rubber ones are.

Then there is the third level which starts at $20 and goes up to $40 or so.  These are the thickest and have the ability to hold over a gallon of dirt and liquid or snow.  They can either be trimmed to fit or ordered specific to a make and model for that custom fit.  Yes, there are custom carpet mats at this price that can be customized for that personalized touch, but most car detailers do not like carpet mats for they wear rather quickly, their protection is very limited and they are a pain to shampoo and clean – you need a steam cleaner to clean them properly. 

So, if you want to keep that new car look on the inside, remember that you get what you pay for (except in the case of carpet mats), so go with the upper level rubber mats and you will keep your car, truck or SUV’s carpet floor clean and protected for many years.  Also, a tip to the men, this is the car mat that the classy girls and ladies will expect in your car.

Another great car care tip is that if you are going to take the time to wash and wax your car, be sure to do it right.  Be sure to spray off all the dirt first, keep the surface wet, use clean towels and don’t reuse anything that has fallen on the ground.  Then when you have dried the vehicle off apply 2 coats of car polish followed by 2 coats of car wax for maximum shine and protection.  This will give it that new car, wet look the girls and ladies love. Then be sure and use the New Lite headlight restoration kit to restore your headlights to new again and make them really shine.  This will greatly improve your night time driving safety and save you big money over costly dealer replacement headlights.  For more information or to purchase New Lite headlight restoration, cleaner and repair please visit www.MDWholesale.com.
