Detailing is one of the most important tasks when cleaning a car. People often think of detailing as the prime example of good car ownership. By making sure you completely clean your car, you will ensure that your resale value is high and your car is in great shape. Here are some of the best tips for detailing your luxury car’s interior.
Seat Covering Upholstery
With car upholstery, there are a lot of different ways you can clean the fabric. How you choose to do it should depend on the upholstery material you use. If you have cotton covers, you can use soap, water, and a soft-bristled brush for cloth seats in most cases. However, with leather and other softer materials like Alcantara, the process is a bit more involved. Leather will require a specific leather cleaner and conditioner and the tools you need to disperse the cleaning fluid.
Crevices
One of the easiest places to miss in any car’s interior is the various crevices and cracks that get infiltrated with dirt. This is anywhere from the center console controls to the steering wheel. The trick with these spaces is to have a method and take your time! To effectively clean the whole interior of your car, you will have to compartmentalize your tasks. This will help you keep track of the work you have already done while not overwhelming yourself with too much to clean.
Windshield
Windshields can get dirty very fast. Between saliva that will inevitably get sprayed onto the windshield and dust from the AC, you can bet that it will become dirty. The great thing is that all you need to rectify these areas is a bit of window cleaner and a clean microfiber towel!
Touch Screens
One of the most often overlooked areas for cleaning is the touch screen. Due to the increasing popularity of center console infotainment systems, touch screens are more common over the years. Usually, these screens are outfitted with an anti-static layer to keep dust from clinging to the screen. Even so, dust, dirt, and fingerprints often pervade unkempt car interiors. Luckily, all you need to solve the issue is a bit of soapy water and a microfiber towel. Be warned: do not use paper towels, as these can scratch the screens easily.
We hope that these tips for detailing the interior of your luxury car will prove helpful the next time you undertake a cleaning project. Remember that there is no better service provided in most situations than the service you provide yourself. As such, learning the methods of cleaning your car will not only save you time and money but might bring some stress relief to your life!
