I've got 2K2 SE Max, white w/ grey cloth interior. I've 4K miles on it, and the driver's floor mat already looks like s#$t! I love the color of the interior but I knew it was gonna be a constant struggle to keep that light-colored interior from looking grubby. A couple of questions:
- Would Scotchgard help?
- I saw Courtesy Nissan has mats for $60-something dollars. Is that for the front pair? Can you just buy the driver's side separately? For $30 or so I would just replace the driver's mat every few months.

 

Go to an Auto store and buy some of the "Tuff Stuff" cleaner for carpet and upholstery. I have used it for years and with some amazing results on stains that I thought would never come out. It is so easy to use.

But, yes, if you don't have floor mats for your car, get them. Then, every so often, take them out, vacuum them, then Tuff Stuff em and rub wit ha plastic bristle brush, like for tires and boats. Then, hose off and let dry. The mats will look like new.
