I have a trunk mat that is probably like most of yours - it is dry and hard. Has anybody found a product out there that helps soften the mat up?
Eastwood lists something in their latest catalog, but would like to hear first hand experiences.
Thanks

I like Smartwax Dressing. It's thick. Works on old tired rubber, vinyl, plastic. Smells great and helps soften up and "hydrate".
