Maybe not the easiest or the best. But I put my car up on jack stands and covered the floor with old sheets. Then I used simple green and a whole bunch of shop towels. With a LOT of hard work my original floors look incredible.

Hope this helps.

You can also use a lite power washer spray after you spray the Simple Green on. Gets the dust and small particles from the cracks and crevices. And when finished, I like the BoeShield T-9 spray. It was recommended to me from members of this site. Spray it on and wipe off or let dry. Read the label. Those floors are REAL nice your car has!

You might be surprised how good they look by just using Boeshield on them as they are. It's good stuff.

Sears is the easiest place to find it. They seem to know it by "T-9".

Usually in the tool department and displayed with the table saws. I have on occassion seen them in the automotive department but that is rare. Some bicycle shops and woodworking stores also sell it.
