Looks a lot better. Floor mats are one of those things you have to stay on top of to keep them looking good. If you wait too long they're never the same...

Just vaccumed and put the steam mop on it. Improved it even more. Still not perfect.

I feel ya, the stock mats are s***!

Mine are black and still look crappy. As soon as the weather warms up, I'll upgrade to the Premium Infiniti mats.

+ 1 on the black set.

That was my solution for all the crap (salt, snow, dirty wet slush, etc.) that gets tracked into the car during the winter months. I have the light interior too, but after the first winter made a mess of my OEM beige mats, I bought myself a second set in black. Now every November or December, once the snow starts flying, I swap out the beige (summer) set for the black set. I was afraid the black would look weird, but they actually don't look bad. There is enough darker trim in the car (including black trim on the dash) that they do not look out of place. It's actually a neat contrast to the surrounding main beige carpets. The black set also gets dirty eventually and you have to keep them clean like any carpet, but they get me through the winter in much better condition.

Try it, you might like it! :yesnod

+1 on the second set. I always take out the OEM mats and set them aside. I put in a set from the local store and upon selling, I can put back in the OEM mats in near pristine condition. It speaks to the care I've taken of the car to the next potential owner. I save & frame the window stickers from my cars too. They are all framed in a row on the garage wall.

To clean the OEM set, I normally take them to the local car wash & blast them after a good nylon brush scrubdown with Dawn.

No one uses winter rubber mats? I have some nice Infiniti mats I bought on Ebay for less than $100. Weather Tech also makes winter rubber mats
