Rubber mats for wheels

[richy22]

This is probably a really silly question but here goes....

I have seen a few pics on detailing world of rubber mats being used to protect the wheels, once you take them off to clean, to stop marking them.

Now it looks like that horrible flooring stuff you see in some factorys/shops etc?? The type that you drop a pound on and lose the fucker

Some seem pricey on there but im sure google would find a cheaper alternative.

TBH, I wouldn't be spending 30 odd on a plastic mat, Plastic door mat would do the job fine.

U know I never thought about b&q!

was in there yesterday as well. As long as I can fine one large enough to take 18" in there then jobs a good un

cheers for the input.

Want that type so any water is off the surface of the mat.

 

[Jaff]

the £5 one is perhaps a bit narrow for an 18" but i supposeit should keep the case off the floor by half an inch or something.

Just use a camping mat.
