The Ultimate Guide to Interior Car Detailing – Clean Every Surface Like a Pro
Your car interior should look and feel just as fresh as the day you bought it. This guide shows you exactly how to get there—safely and efficiently.
Step 1: Start With the Right Tools
Here’s what you’ll need to clean your interior like a pro:
- Complete Cabin Cleaner
- Scrub Buddy Pad
- Everyday Microfiber Towels
- Softer Than Soft Towels (for glass/screens)
- All Dressed Up Dressing diluted 4:1
- All Blacked Out Applicators (for trim & vinyl)
Step 2: Clean Seats the Smart Way
Cleaning seats safely starts with the right match of tool + technique for leather or cloth. Never soak. Always dry. And always finish with a matte protectant when needed.
Step 3: Eliminate Stains From Carpet and Floor Mats
Use this step-by-step stain removal guide to lift grime without extractors or steam. The Scrub Buddy Pad and microfiber combo is all you need for 95% of stains.
Step 4: Clean Glass Without Streaks
Use a low-pile glass towel and spray the cleaner onto the towel—not the window. Flip sides and dry immediately to prevent haze and glare.
Step 5: Scrub Without Scratching
Use a dedicated interior scrub pad (not a kitchen sponge!) on textured plastic, vinyl, and rubber surfaces. Apply with light pressure and always follow with a microfiber wipe-down.
Step 6: Don’t Forget the Vents, Buttons, and Screens
Delicate areas like vents and buttons require a detailing brush or wrapped towel—not spray and pray. Clean in sections and always dry behind your work.
Step 7: Dress Your Trim the Right Way
Finish with All Dressed Up diluted 4:1 and applied with a foam applicator. For the perfect matte OEM finish, less is more. No greasy shine. No glare. Just factory-fresh results.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Using APCs inside your car (here’s why not)
- Over-saturating cloth seats or carpets
- Using the same towel for every surface
- Scrubbing with the wrong tool
