On light paints, you can actually see iron spots when it gets really bad.

Otherwise you'll likely never see a difference until the filings start to cause problems.

It's just something that's good to do every year or so.

Do you have to reclay or rewash the car after iron x or just rinse it down very good.

You can iron X before or after claying. It's up to you.

If you clay first, there's no need to clay again after iron X. Just rinse really thoroughly.

Aside from whatever Matt recommends, Weathertech sells their own cleaner and protector for their mats.

For dressing? Nothing. I strongly advise against putting anything on any hard surface your feet touch. I don't care how dry you think it is, it's just not worth it.

For cleaning, I'd recommend just a regular APC.

I tried it and didn't like it at all. Left the mats a little too shiny.

How do you calculate your own gsm for towels? I know you measure the towel in grams, then what?
