How to keep the car interior looking new?

Simply put, consistency and frequency are key. What do we mean by this? Well, putting the right amount of effort, using the suitable car care products and on a regular basis is crucial towards keeping your car interior looking new. The last thing you need is for stains and crumbs to develop into more stubborn states or in the worst case, develop mould spores, which is a totally different ball game to tackle.

The more regularly you clean your car interior, the less likely that these minor contaminants such as food, crumbs, dirt and dust develop into more serious issues down the line. After all, Australia is notorious for extreme heat and heat is the last thing you want to combine with these contaminants. If you are looking for an easy, yet comprehensible way of maintaining your car interior, have a look below – a short guide by the car detailing South Melbourne staff.

1) Vacuum upholstery, seats, and other surfaces in the interior thoroughly. Where necessary, a soft bristle brush is an excellent way to agitate stubborn areas, allowing them to become easily extracted by the vacuum afterwards. Always note that you don’t want to neglect the upholstery to the point where grass, sand, fur and so on get trapped and intertwined deep into the upholstery as a vacuum will not fix this.

2) Clean door panels and headliner with a dedicated auto cleaner

Use an upholstery cleaner to clean these parts. You can find these at most auto supply stores. A microfibre towel, although can be more expensive than your regular towel, will ensure a safer, yet cleaner finish.

3) Apply a leather conditioner or cleaner to the leather upholstery surfaces

Use an applicator or soft microfibre towel to apply the cleaner or conditioner and use gloves if you have them. Our car detailing South Melbourne does advise applying a layer of good quality leather conditioner for best results only after the leather has been cleaned.

4) Clean and dress the dashboard and console

Use a microfibre towel to clean the dashboard and console followed by a specialised plastic dressing to keep these areas protected against harsh UV rays, whilst maintaining a nice clean sheen to the surface.

5) Clean the windows inside and out

There is nothing more annoying than cleaning the windows. Streak-free windows can be achieved by cleaning both the inside and outside.

Those who are more adamant about keeping their car interior looking its best for a long period should really consider interior car ceramic coatings. These are very durable and consist of hydrophobic properties, which means it is super effective against spill and stains from spilled beverages. A repellent that reduces the likelihood of liquids being absorbed into your upholstery.
