One of the greatest things a body shop can do is hand back a car that looks good as new. Sure you can do a spectacular collision repair job but as an added bonus, you should also wash and detail the car. It is a great way to show your customers you appreciate them and is a great way to make a long lasting and positive impression. If you want to incorporate detailing into your body shop business, or you are in the business of vehicle restoration, this article will explain step by step interior car detailing steps.

1.First, remove the vehicle’s contents. This includes personal items and trash. Remove the vehicle’s floor mats. Be sure to move the seats forward and back to remove any waste beneath them.

2.Give the vehicle an extremely thorough vacuuming. Make sure to use a thin vacuum hose to vacuum between the console and front seat. This is often a common place where food and other debris falls.

3.Scrub the vehicle’s floor mats with upholstery cleaner and place them on a rack to dry. Make sure the mats are thoroughly dry before placing them back in the car. If they are too wet, mold may begin to grow.

4.Clean any other dirty spots in the car’s interior with upholstery cleaner. Again, it is important to dry the spots thoroughly to inhibit mold growth. The best item to clean with is a damp sponge or cloth.

5.Next, you’ll want to dust the vehicle’s interior. The most efficient way to do this is to use compressed air. Don’t miss the crevices, they tend to accumulate the most dust. You may need to use a longer brush to clean the dust inside the vents. After you have completed the dusting, wipe the interior down with a cleaner like Armor All.

6.Clean the windows and windshield with glass cleaner. Microfiber cloths are the best material to wipe the glass because they are soft and absorbent.
