Santa Cruz Cleaning with Scotch Guard

[gavram]

Did my first Santa Cruz interior clean today following several past snow storms and slushy conditions. I have the Motor Trend mats (which I can't wait to replace) which have helped but I still had quite a few sizable brown discolored areas from dirty shoes rubbing against the carpets where the mats don't reach.

I had Scotch Guarded when I first got the car and I was pleasantly surprised at how easy it was to clean the discolored areas using only a damp microfiber towel. THANK YOU to @borski and others that previously recommended using Scotch Guard as it's a lifesaver for Santa Cruz in wintry climates.

Thats great! Scotch Guard has been a big plus for me too with the light carpets and its totally worth it for the beautiful interior.

Get the 3d mats. They’re worth it!

Those are definitely the ones I have my eye on...I just need them to come out with the rear mats made for the Touring

Which Scotch Guard product do you recommend? Looks like there's:

• Scotchgard 4306-10 4104D Auto Fabric & Carpet Protector, 10 Oz (Orange/Black can), or​

• Scotchgard Auto Interior Fabric Protector, 10-Ounce (Yellow/Black can) ?​

For mats, I went with Custoarmor, as they have the max coverage I've seen. I have kids so I went with that option and I really like them. They have a Touring version (seems to fit well but not perfect). I did not get the frunk & trunk mats - didn't care for them. A few other members have gone with this brand as well.​
