http://the-real-way.com
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 clean water, soft rags, window cleaner, a small paint brush, and a hard bristle brush.
The first thing that should be done is removing any items that are not needed in the vehicle, this includes floor mats. This prevents items from getting in your way. 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 lot of cleaning time later.
The next step would be to start cleaning the dash with a soft soapy rag, using the small paintbrush to get into the vents and any other small area that is hard to get to. Wipe these areas with the clean water. Be certain to get into the small grooves present on most steering wheels.
Next would come the doors. The same process can be used as on the dash. Work in your own manner for the remainder of the vehicle using these steps being certain to do the ceiling when 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 brush it or not.
At this time cleaning all windows would become the next stage. Use a soft rag and a decent window cleaner. There are a great deal of different brands to decide from, such as Windex and Safelite Auto Glass.
If the upholstery of your vehicle requires 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 soak the fabric. Using the brush, scrub the seat, back, and sides.
The small paint brush comes in useful to get into difficult to reach parts. 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 extraordinary cleaning products that you can purchase if you prefer to. Only be sure to match the cleaner to the sort of cloth you have in your vehicle.
Following the instructions on those products is crucial. Next is scrubbing the floor. Using the bristle brush and soapy water, scrub the floors down and vacuum. This may have to be repeated a couple of times depending on how dire the floor is.
Whilst working on the driver’s side be sure to wash all pedals. If there are floor shifters they have to bewiped at this time. A decent vacuuming will pick up what has been brought to the surface. The floor mats can be scrubbed and put back in the vehicle if the carpet is not too damp.
