How to Maintain Your Car Interior Like a Professional

Professional detailers do not have magic chemicals. They have an order of operations, and they stick to it.

Work Top to Bottom

Headliner first, carpets last. Every surface you clean sheds dust onto the one below it, so cleaning the floor first guarantees you will do it twice.

Dry Before Wet

Vacuum and brush out every crevice before a single drop of cleaner touches the cabin. Spraying an interior cleaner onto dusty plastic just makes mud.

The Vents Nobody Cleans

A cheap detailing brush and a can of compressed air will pull years of dust out of the dashboard vents. This is the step that makes a used car smell new again.
