Hi Daman,
Thanks for your review.
It's a shame to hear you're unhappy with your mat. As mentioned on our website, when new and before weathering, Cape Cod mats have a surface sheen. During this time, we recommend you place securely on a non-slip and non-polished surface to aid slip resistance.
Sadly, I can't find any details that this issue has been raised to us prior to this review. If you could kindly allow us opportunity to discuss and put things right for you by emailing info@turtlemat.co.uk I would appreciate it.
Kind Regards,
Turtle Mat - Laura
