Important Steps To Detail Car Interiors

Keeping a car clean, fragrant, and detailed is the wish of all car owners and users. However, for car detailing, most people visit professional car cleaning and detailing shops and garages. Detailing a car may require more procedures and activities, which are over and above the usual washing and vacuuming, but you can accomplish the task yourself as well. However, you must give attention to the tiniest of details to ensure that a car looks and appears to be professionally treated and is show-worthy.

DETAILING CAR INTERIORS

Below are listed (and described) the important steps for detailing the interiors of a car. However, you should remember that you do require some quality resources including foam cleaners, all-surface cleaners, leather/vinyl polish and cleaners, and the appropriate brushes, among other items, for the best results. You should arrange these items beforehand and then start with the car detailing procedures.

VACUUM 

You need to remove the floor mats of the car. Now you can vacuum the floor, trunk, mats, rear parcel shelf, and the car's dashboard. You should always start from this top so that any dirt gathered on the floor is vacuumed and removed later.

CLEAN THE UPHOLSTERY AND CARPET STAINS

Now you need to apply a good quality foam cleaner for removing the stains on the car's upholstery and carpet.  Repeat the process multiple times if the stains do not go away.



REPAIR THE BURNS AND HOLES

You also need to treat the burns and holes within the car interiors. You can use scissors or a blade to cut out the spot and replace it with a piece that you cut and obtain from some hidden place (for instance the underneath area of the seat). You can stick the piece with a strong adhesive (must be water-resistant).

APPLY NON-SLIP MATERIAL

You should also apply non-slipping materials once the floor mats have dried. The application will ensure that the feet of the driver do not slip at any time and when they brake.

CLEAN THE BUTTONS

And the interior surfaces: you can clean all the car buttons by using the detailing brushes and by applying compressed air. The air pressure will remove all dust from the dashboard buttons. You can also clean the doors this way. Then, you can use the all-purpose car cleaners on the hard/solid surface areas and clean them with a dry cloth.

DETAIL THE GRILLS

You also need to clean and detail the air vents and the grills of the car. You can use a good quality and absorbent brush for vent grill detailing. Once dirt and dust are removed, you can put some all-surface cleaner spray on the vinyl dressing material. It will make them look new.

CLEAN THE CAR SEATS

If the car seats are made using vinyl or leather, you need a suitable material and cleaning agent for that. After putting the cleaning agent on the seats, you can clean them by using a leather brush. Once the cleaning is done, you can wipe the dirt away with a microfiber cloth. However, the nylon and cloth seeds can be cleaned easily by shampooing them. If it is leather seats, you may also have to apply a conditioner, so that the leather does not crack later on.

DETAIL THE WINDOWS AND GLASS SURFACES: 

You can spray some quality glass cleaner on the windows of the car and other glass surfaces. Steel wool can be the best for removing the build-ups. However, if the gauge covers are made of plastic, you require a plastic cleaner. Use only the microfiber cloth for all wiping and washing.

CONCLUSION

Detailing the interiors of the car will make it look beautiful and more presentable.
