Modern interiors combine plastics, coated trim, screens, leather, synthetic materials, fabric and gloss surfaces. One aggressive cleaner is not suitable for everything.
Start with dry cleaning
Vacuum loose grit before wiping surfaces. Removing particles first reduces the chance of scratching delicate trim.
Use separate cloths
Keep glass, screens, interior trim and heavily soiled areas separate. A clean microfibre cloth is often more important than adding more chemical product.
Be careful around displays
Touchscreens and instrument displays can have coatings that react badly to strong cleaners. Follow the vehicle manufacturer’s guidance.
Test first
When using a new cleaner, test it on a small hidden area and follow the product instructions.
Shop detailing and cleaning products for your routine.
