Cleaning a clear plastic floor mat

[junkyardjeff]

Last fall I picked up one of those full length clear plastic front floor mats out of a 59 Ford that sat in a junkyard for 40 years,along with conforming to what was left of the floor it got rust stains on it. After sitting on a dead car in the driveway since last fall  the recent heat wave finally flattened it out but now I would like to get the rust stains off if possible so anyone know what I can use to clean it.

You could try white vinegar, CLR, or Naval Jelly.  .....None of these  should hurt the plastic, but no guarantees they will remove the rust stains.

Isn't there some type of cleaner that is made to clean convertible top rear windows or the windows in "Jeep" soft tops , motor cycle windshields, things like that  :?:  :?:  

Jus' thinkin' outside the box .............. :?

I am going to experiment on this one and if it does not work I will use it on my 66 F250 and cut it for the floor shifter.

I think I would try soaking it in CLR. It usually doesn't effect plastic.

Try auto polish.  I use Turtle Way polish to clean the headlight covers when they start getting dull.
