So I'm gon na show you how to do all that alright, so step top is to declutter. So get rid of any undesirable products any garbage and remove the floor mats too. Step number two: we're gon na clean up the floor mats. So if they're rubber mats we're gon na initially begin by washing them, then we're gon na spray, a degreaser or all-purpose cleaner. As you want, so you spray that freely on the rubber mats and then you brush them with a carpet brush if the mats are basic fabric mats very first start by vacuuming the mats thoroughly, then spray a carpet and upholstery cleaner straight on the mats, then scrub. The mats using a carpet and upholstery brush blot and wipe away the excess using a clean, microfiber towel action. Number 3 vacuum: the interior thoroughly. So make sure you move the seats back and forth to access to all the surprise nooks and crannies and also enter into the folds of the seats, whether they 'd be upholstery or leather seats. So step number four is to go ahead and dust. Your interior, including the air vents, now to do so, you can use a soft bristle detailing brush like this one, in combination with your vacuum, so as you're dusting away make certain that you keep your vacuum closed to choose all that dust up, ensure you constantly Work from leading to bottom, because the naturally gravity acts on dust and it falls to the floor also for the air vents. Another cool technique that I have is the cyber tidy cleaning substance, so it's basically sort of a gel that also acts as an antibacterial. So it's antibacterial it molds to any surface, and I enjoy this for infotainment screens, as it will help you get rid of any dust prior to you proceed and wipe with the tidy microfiber towel. So it will avoid the dust from making micro scratches on the infotainment screen or any interior trim that you have step number 5 using a steam cleaner, we're gon na steam, clean the door, jambs and door sills, and we're gon na wipe clean with a microfiber towel. Now, if you do not have a steam cleaner, no concerns, you can utilize a microfiber towel and an all-purpose, cleaner or a degreaser.

If you see any staining so you basically apply an all-purpose, cleaner or a fabric and upholstery cleaner spray, it extremely lightly straight on the pointer of a soft bristle brush. You never want to spray those chemicals straight on the headliner since you would not wish to affect the glue that's holding the headliner to the roof. So you spray it on the idea of your brush. You go ahead and brush the affected location and you block and wipe away utilizing a clean and dry microfiber towel step number 7: we're gon na clean up the seats, whether they be upholstery or leather seats. Now, if you have upholstery, use a carpet and upholstery cleaner and if you have leather seats like I do, you can use G on leather, clean or any other top quality leather, cleaner. You generally spray with a leather brush, so I use the swiss packs or color lock. Leather brush, so these are bristles that are made specifically for use with leather, so really really mild, and then you go on and brush the seats, always work from leading to bottom and for the steering-wheel same approach. So you spray on the bristles. You go ahead auto detailing reno and you brush with the guiding wheel and you wipe away with a tidy microfiber towel. Okay, so step number eight, and now that the leather seats are tidy, we're gon na proceed and protect them against the sun's harmful UV rays. Now you can utilize lots of types of leather protectant. There are leather serums out there. There are leather conditioners, there are ceramic infused leather finishings like this one from Jian. This is jian leather coat, it remains in a spray bottle, and you likewise have ceramic finishings for leather. I really did a video tutorial on application of ceramic coatings for leather seats, so he can click the video up here. So basically you go ahead. You spray the product on your microfiber applicator pad and you carefully use the item on the leather surfaces. So if this is gon na assist secure them and make them feel silky smooth too and also secure them against staining and make them much easier to clean, fine, so step number nine we're gon na go ahead and clean up the interior, trims or plastics and vinyl utilizing An all-purpose, cleaner or an interior cleaner of your choice, so you essentially spray utilizing a microfiber, applicator pad or a microfiber towel, and you scrub to make certain you clean up the surfaces before we use it. The trim in another step, another fast pointer, if you have some scuff marks in the bottom of the sill, so on those plastic door trims, you can go on and use a mr. Clean Magic Eraser. So you essentially spray a bit of your all-purpose, cleaner straight on the Magic Eraser and you carefully scrub. You clean away it with a microfiber towel which's it. The scuffs are gone. This is likewise a fantastic trick. If you have some fingernail marks on the exterior door handles so where the hands meet the door manage, you can use a little lubricant, so your all-purpose, cleaner carefully scrub the way which need to get rid of the majority of the fingernail scratches on your door deals with alright, so Step number: ten: now that we've cleaned the interior trim, we wish to go on and protect it against the sun's UV rays versus fading splitting and aging too. We want to restore that factory, look without an oily residue. So to do so we apply a water-based trim dressing, so I like corporal Perle now this is a water-based silicon oxide coating. So, essentially, you can use this right out of the bottle to resolve your tires or dilute it one-to-one for tire dressing, however you can likewise dilute it one in 5 for usage as an interior trim dressing. So I made a quick dilution in a spray bottle. A little goes a long way you spray it straight on a microfiber applicator pad and you apply the dressing to your interior trim. So this benefits plastics, vinyl and rubber. Alright, so step number eleven is to apply a fabric protectant. Now you can use a fabric protectant directly on your upholstery if you have material seats or, obviously, on your carpets and floor mats now these are normally water and stain resistant, so they're gon na assist to eliminate some spills or some water that might be on Your seats or on your carpets and they're also often UV protectant, like this cars and truck, pro c-- quartz fabric. So you merely missed a very light coat due to the fact that a little goes a long way. You'Ll, let it dry which's it. Your fabric is secured so step number 12. We want to help deodorize the interior by utilizing an air freshener. So the sense of smell is one of human beings, the majority of powerful senses, and it's very essential to consider that last. Enduring detail touch so we're going to proceed and spray an air freshener, however a fast suggestion to make this last longer is to make certain you turn your Air Conditioning on to complete blast put in an air recirculation mode and you're gon na spray. This in the foot wells near the air induction or the air consumption. So in this manner this is gon na get into your AC system and it's gon na lightly coat the ducts. So, every time you turn on your cars and truck and you turn on the Air Conditioning you're gon na get a blast of fresh odor, so that's quite cool. In this case, I used Chemical Guys honeydew. This is a great smelling air freshener and order neutralizer, but you can utilize any air freshener of your liking, so step number thirteen and the last action, but probably among the most important we constantly keep. This last is to clean glass. So once you're finished detailing the interior, you wish to make sure that your glass is incredibly gleaming tidy and to do so, I'm gon na provide you professional pointers so, firstly, you're going to use mr. Clean Magic Eraser and an all-purpose, cleaner, so you're gon Na spray, the all-purpose, cleaner directly on your mr.

This will assist to get rid of any oily residues or finger prints. So it's gon na make your glass spotless. Next, up we're gon na utilize a premium glass: cleaner, that's ammonia, totally free, so safe for tinted glass, something like stoner's invisible glass. So I spray this on a waffle, weave, microfiber towel, and after that I proceed and wipe the glass to remove any streaks and leave a streak complimentary finish that way. Your car and your windows are now totally prepped and, as a last final touch, that makes all the difference. You can proceed and spray a fast wax like McGuire's synthetic Express spray wax. Now you men will understand that.
