    Interior Cleaning

    Is there much more I can do besides vacuum out the carpets and seats, wipe out the dust, and use armor all on the vinyl/plastic/leather? I want my interior to last a long time, obviously. Should I steam clean the seats or floors or anything that extreme? Just looking for any tips you guys have.

    My mom has a steam vac jr. About every 6 months or so, I take out the seats and vacume then shampoo the carpet with the steam vac. I also shampoo the seats.

        I should try that. I shampooed my seats the other day, but they are still stained.

            Here's a shot of my interior from a while back. It pretty much looks like this all the time because I dust the inside once a day. (Yes I am a clean freak and proud of it). I never use Armor-All...it gives a glossy cheap greasy look IMO.

            I dont think my interior doesn't look ~4 years old:


            Here's basically what I do to my interior:
            -Damp microfiber towel to dust off surfaces
            -Compressed air in a can to get dust out of little crevices
            -Keep rubber floor mats on top of stock ones
            -Clean floor mats out once a day
            -Vacuum once a month
            -Use Prestone Carpet cleaner on floor mats once a month if they are dirty (sometimes I like to ride around w/o my ugly rubber mats)
            -Amonia-free window cleaner on all windows

            A good place to go online for detailing, inside and out is www.autopia.org

            There's tons of stuff there and I've learned a few things myself.

              I use Meguiar's "Natural Shine Vinyl & Rubber Protectant" on the dash and doors rather than Armor All. Works pretty good, smells nice too!

                yeh shampoo your carpets and floor mats... I work at a dealership and you should see some of the cars that come in.... after a good shampoo they look new again

                  total car care: meguiar's gold class
                  for removal of tough stains, try envirotech's carpet cleaner/stain remover...
