Out of the hot seat, and into the cool. How to care for your car's interior.



Carpet and upholstery:

How many times do you think that you get in, and out of your vehicle in a year? How many times a day do you shuffle your feet around on the floor. Any idea of how many pounds of dirt and rocks you bring into your car over the years? Get the picture? Your car's carpet and interior gets used and abused.

It is no wonder that these areas of your car show signs of wear and aging long before other parts of your car. It is the most vulnerable area of your car, but it is often the least cared for. Most people neglect these areas because it they are the more difficult and require the most labor. There is nothing like scrubbing a carpet for hours on end.

The other aspect is that your interior is not publicly visible. Yes, or course, someone can come up to your vehicle and peer in the windows to ogle your interior, but it is unlikely. Cleaning the car's interior is usually only done for your own benefit and for those that are passengers in your car. There is no social benefit or wide-eyed head snapping from having a clean carpet and headliner.

Sociology 101 aside, when you do tackle cleaning your car's carpet and upholstery using the right tools make it much easier. Using products that work rather than those that bellow how great they are is also advisable. Discount brand cleaners are usually too harsh for delicate fabrics. Sometimes they cause colors to fade or change, and have unpleasant chemical odors.

The right tools:

Hours and hours are spent on trying to find the best wax, which polish shines the best, what leather conditioner yields the supplest surface. Remember that it is not only the product that is important. The tools or methods in which products are applied are just as important as the product itself.

The absolute best wax, polish, tire dressing, or leather cleaner in the world cannot perform to its maximum ability if it is applied using the wrong applicator. The right tool not only ensures that the product is applied properly, but also makes your job easier. The outcome will be better and detailing tools are not as obscure or as expensive as you may think. For example, when was the last time that you cleaned the insides of your vent panels? A pretty hard proposition unless you have the right tool.
