Detailing The Interior Of A Vehicle
Wednesday, May 18, 2011

The items needed to detail the interior of a vehicle are: a vacuum ( a shop vac would be best), a bucket of hot soapy water and one of fresh water, soft rags, window cleaner, a small paint brush, and a hard bristle brush.
The first thing that should be done is removing any things that are not needed in the vehicle, this includes floor mats. This prevents items from getting in your fashion. Next you ought to vacuum everything you can. This includes of the floor, under the seat, rear window, speakers, seats, and all vents. This will save a great deal of cleaning time later.
The next step would be to begin washing the dash with a soft soapy rag, using the small paintbrush to get into the vents and any other small region that is hard to get to. Wipe these areas with the clean water. Be certain to get into the small grooves found on most steering wheels.
Next would come the doors. The same process can be used as on the dash. Work in your own way for the remainder of the vehicle using these steps being certain to do the ceiling while cleaning the rest of the vehicle. A different region that is normally forgotten is the glove box. It is up to every person as to whether they clean it or not.
At this time washing all windows would be the next step. Use a soft rag and a good window cleaner. There are a lot of different brands to choose from, such as Windex and Safelite Auto Glass.
If the seats of your vehicle needs to be washed it can be done with the soapy water and a bristle brush. Dip the brush in the soapy water and begin scrubbing the seat and back. Do not saturate the fabric. Using the brush, clean the seat, back, and sides.
The small paint brush comes in handy to get into difficult to reach areas. If you have a shop vac then proceed to vacuum the region washed. Repeat process if the seat is still dirty. After you are finished, vacuum the seats the best you can to suck up the surplus moisture.
Armour All, and other brands has a range of special cleaning products that you can buy if you prefer to. Just be certain to match the cleaner to the type of fabric you have in your vehicle.
Following the instructions on those products is important. Next is scrubbing the floor. Using the bristle brush and soapy water, scrub the floors down and vacuum. This might have to be repeated a few times depending on how bad the floor is.
Whilst working on the driver's side be sure to wash all pedals. If there are floor shifters they have to be cleaned at this time. A decent vacuuming will suck up what has been brought to the surface. The floor mats can be scrubbed and placed back in the vehicle if the floor is not too damp.
