6 Auto Interior Detailing Tips And Tricks

If you take good care of your car, you will drive in a vehicle that is both clean and undamaged as opposed to those who only care for their cars when a major issue pops up. In essence, auto detailing is the process of thoroughly cleaning a car so that it looks as new as it left the salon. It differs from regular car washes since it includes cleaning any stains and covering any visible scratches or imperfections on the vehicle. Car detailing services typically offer either interior car detailing, exterior detailing, or a combination of both. If you want to avoid being overcharged and have the tools and time to do it on your own, then these tips will help you do it in the comfort of your own garage. 

How Much Does Interior Auto Detailing Cost?

Interior detailing is an important branch of car maintenance that you want to do once a year. Despite this, mobile auto detailing prices can reach a few hundred dollars depending on who is providing you with the car detailing services. 

Best Auto Interior Detailing Products

Just like great fleet services or a professional oil change, the quality of the service often stems from the quality of the tools and products used. Here are a few special tools to get your hands on either by borrowing or purchasing them when detailing your car interior yourself:

  • Vacuum with different nozzles — appliances like vacuums, steamers, and carpet cleaners are must-haves for thorough auto interior detailing. The more nozzles you have that are appropriate for various tasks around the car, the better.
  • Vinyl colorants — color touch-ups are something you can certainly expect in the process of vehicle interior detailing which is why you need a can of vinyl colorants handy.
  • Detailing brushes — special brushes are often a specialist’s key to effective interior car detailing. They fit into all the nooks and crannies like the air vents.
  • Microfiber cloths — Want to put the final touch on your DIY auto interior detailing? A microfiber cloth as opposed to a sponge can make all the difference between having a smooth finish or a grimy finish. 

Interior Car Detailing Tips

Besides the tools, here are a few other tips and tricks to have up your sleeve when doing your own auto interior detailing:

  • Repair that hole in the leather — a simple leather repair and cleaning kit can help you get rid of that hole in the seat that’s just been sitting there. You may not get an exact match in color, but it will be much better than driving with a hole in the seat.
  • Use proper car soap — car soap is a thing and it differs from regular hand soap or dish soap. Car soap is made specifically without the harsh components of regular soap that may harm the paint inside and outside the car.
  • Don’t skip the deodorizer —  if you want that “new car smell” then you need to get your hands on a deodorizer and spray it inside your vehicle at the end.
  • Don’t underestimate your carpets and mats — the majority of the dirt in your car comes from the depths of the carpets and mats. It’s important to wash these as thoroughly as possible. Take the mats out to wash and dry them separately from the rest of the interior of your car.
  • Lubricate the hinges — proper auto interior detailing considers all of the minor details that others may miss. That includes attention to not only what you see but what you hear. By lubricating the car hinges, you get rid of that annoying squeaking sound you’ve grown accustomed to.
  • Steam the stains — using a tool called a Tornador that is a steam cleaner as a spot treatment on hard-to-clean stains will make all the difference for your auto interior detailing.
