How many steps to complete a full interior car detailing?

When it comes to car detailing, it’s all about the interior. It’s not enough to look good. The interior of a car should provide a sanitary environment with a clean, fresh smell to aid in the creation of a fantastic driving experience. Upholstery, carpets, and other surfaces are sterilized using deep cleaning processes, leaving them germ free. High quality interior detailing requires planning, hard work, and a well defined process. Working through a series of steps ensures that no corner of the vehicle is overlooked, resulting in flawless results. Let’s find out the steps to complete a full interior car detailing with Luxe Detailing Pro.

Interior car detailing: What is it?

Detailing a car’s interior follows a defined set of steps. Vacuum the carpets, floor mats, seats, and trunk to remove all crumbs, dust, and other debris. Upholstery is shampooed and rejuvenated using specialist processes depending on the seat material. If child safety seats are installed, they must also be carefully cleaned. Wipe, clean, and polish the windows, air vents, door handles, dashboard, steering wheel, gear stick, and other surfaces, including dials and switches. After that, you can use your specific finishing skills to make an automobile look brand new. 

Steps to complete a full interior car detailing

Step 1: Removing your floor mats 

Although floor mats effectively protect your carpets, they can accumulate a lot of dirt and grime over time. Put on your safety gloves and go through your car’s interior, removing all floor mats to see the proper condition of your carpets.

Step 2: Cleaning the dashboard, door panels, and center console

To start cleaning your dashboard, fold a clean microfiber cloth towel in half, spray cleaner on the towel, then brush it around the dashboard to collect as much dirt and grime as possible.

If your towel appears to be drying, spray extra cleanser on it and continue cleaning until satisfied. After wiping the surface with your original cleaning towel, use a new clean microfiber cloth to buff the area to a beautiful finish. Use your detailing brushes to get into all of the nooks and crannies of your vehicle, including the door panels and center console.

Step 3: Cleaning vinyl & leather 

Although vinyl and leather are long lasting materials, using the wrong product or leaving it on the surface for too long can result in irreversible damage, so always use specialist vinyl and leather cleaners! Start by lightly scrubbing the surface of the vinyl and leather with your vinyl and leather cleaner, which you should spritz into your detailing brush. Then wipe away any remaining cleaning solution with a clean microfiber cloth.

Step 4: Cleaning crevices and vents

Now it’s time to take care of all the nooks and crannies, such as air vents. Because there isn’t much room to work within these areas, this is a great time to put that high quality detailing brush to work! Brush off as much loose dust and debris as possible from your vents with your detailing brush, then spray a tiny quantity of interior cleaner on your brush, clean the affected areas and wipe down well, removing all the grime.

Step 5: Shampooing carpets & upholstery seats

It’s time to shampoo your carpets and upholstery seats once you’ve prepped the vehicle with a strong vacuum. Take your upholstery cleanser, softly spritz the area you’re working on, then scrub the area with a firm bristle cleaning brush until clean. To break down stains, spray extra carpet cleaner or shampoo on badly soiled areas and leave it on the surface for a few minutes. Scrub the seats with a clean microfiber towel after scrubbing the shampoo off.

Step 6: Getting rid of odors and maintaining car interior sanitation

Now that the car appears clean, we must ensure that it is actually clean! The cleanliness and odor elimination of your vehicle’s inside will be determined by your needs. Because there are so many different sanitation and odor removal solutions on the market, the process will vary depending on what you choose. I recommend using an enzyme based odor eliminator for lingering scents, which comes in aerosol form and may be kept in your car overnight to eliminate most odors.

Step 7: Cleaning glass

With a new quality low pile microfibre towel, use a dedicated automobile glass cleaner. Using your microfiber cloth, squirt a few sprays of window cleaner away from your car, then clean your windows from left to right. To get a high quality streak free shine, switch to a fresh cloth and buff!
