Best way or product for cleaning front rubber mats in my van, clean but discoloured? i.e the big one that runs the full width across the van?

"Muc-off" and a power wash afterwards.
Keep it real.

I used some stuff called armourcoat which practically renovated them to like new but no idea where you'd find it.

Clean, with hot water and your favourite detergent, but not so vigorously as to damage the surface (careful with jet washers). Leave to dry. Apply a thin even coat of Autoglym Vinyl and Rubber care spray (Halfords), wipe down with a clean cloth. Allow to dry. It's similar to Armor All which I've used before.

Thanks Mocki - thats the stuff. I remembered it as Armourcoat but stand corrected. You're quite right. It was excellent stuff though.
