Ideas for keeping the floorboard in showroom condition?

[pattomike]

I am a bit OCD. I hate scuffing up my new stuff. I love the new look of my black floorboards (I have the white PCX), and I want to keep them always looking new.
Is anyone else besides me concerned about keeping the floorboards looking new? Or am I just a wacko? I am looking for creative or crafty ways to protect the floorboard from getting scuffed up by my shoes. A couple of ideas that popped in my head is attach a piece of carpet in the foot wells. I could attach the carpet with Velcro. They also have those soft rubbery cupboard and drawer liners for the kitchen. I could put something like that on the floorboard. Looking forward to your thoughts.

No, No, No... you must fight the urge to put protection on inexpensive rubber running boards. Don't be that nut, I have your disease and it's treatable. No CARPET OR DRAWER LINER you goofy man. It's characteristic of a scooter to have dirt on the running boards, you don't get this with foot pegs. Just wipe them off when you get home.

Don't use the floorboards EVER. Never put your dirty feet on them and they will stay Beautiful.

Don't know what Honda has used for the foot areas of your PCX, but 13,000 miles and 4 yrs has left the huge, flat floor of my Kymco scooter unmarked.
Change your engine oil frequently, add in new gear oil every 2nd or 3rd time...change out the spark plug and air filter annually, use top tier fuels, then your compulsions and your scooter, will be better served. All in favor of a clean scooter (mine always are) but first comes the best of mechanical care.

ANY substance or covering in the critical rider's foot area will be a hazard some day. Your feet need to come off cleanly, always, and never get trapped or slip off. Honda put just the correct substance under your feet. They've a good bit of history building these things.

A new floor mat costs $3.45 each. That's less than $7 for a set replacement. They take but a minute to replace. Use the heck out of your floor mats, and then if our don't like the look of them, just replace them.
However, and keep this in mind, my bikes are 2013 models and have been ridden so they are not pristine, but the mats look fine. All you have to do is take them off and clean them with a brush. Then do whatever else you do to them, and put them back on. They will last as long as the bike does.

About the best you can do is be discrete where you park/ride it and just take it out when the weather is good. Other wise when you clean the windscreen with Windex or something give a dab on the floorboards with the damp paper towels. The other day I went to a shopping center and didn't realize until I got home that I picked up some chewing gum on one of my shoes. . .some people are just slobs. Unless you are trying to sell it or want it as an exhibition piece you'll have to clean it every now and then.

I knew I was thinking crazy. Thanks for setting me straight. I work as a truck driver, and the terminal is all gravel, and I many areas are stained with oil and diesel fuel. It drives me crazy getting on my scooter after work with my work shoes, but I'll have to get over it. I also did not know these were replaceable. If they are replaceable, then no more worries.

One day I stood in motor oil at an intersection that was a short ride that day let me tell you... I had to break out a degreaser for the precious and burn my shoes.

And now I'm suppose to fall asleep?

Aside from the humor, good advise is given here.

@ pattomike, GREASE?! Yikes.
Use those greasy diesel fuel boots just for the job. I'm serious about that.
Wear clean sole boots To and From the job. Change into greasy boots For The Job.
Good storage is under the seat for the pair not being worn.
That's Easy That's Smart That's Safe(r)

1 - walk around through some mud then over gravel, preferably the loose stuff.

2 - Ride your scooter

3 - Look at the dirty footprints then shrug your shoulders and say, "Big deal."

4 - Go have some coffee or do something else and pat yourself on the back for getting over it.

I just noticed that you have a 2017 model. Nothing shows up for 2017 models yet but the 2016 model floor mats are down to $2.93 each. That should sooth your nightmares.
Also, as was mentioned above, when you get off from work, put your greasy work boots in a trash bag under your seat and put on riding boots or riding hi-top tennis shoes...yes, they have those, for the ride home. You would be very angry with yourself if you wore those greasy work boots home and put your foot down at a stop, only to find it sliding out from under you because the grease on the boots combined with the grease on the road, which left you with no traction to hold your bike upright.

I replaced my floorboards with Bikerzbitz metal ones and then wrapped them in 3m 1080 carbon fiber vinyl. I keep my feet on the grids, and two years later the vinyl still looks perfect.
