STEP 1 THE BLOWOUT
The first step in our interior detailing process, known as the "blow out," involves using compressed air or a blower to meticulously remove dust, dirt, and debris from every crack, crevice, and tight space within the vehicle's cabin, including under and between seats. This thorough cleaning ensures that even the most overlooked areas, such as vents and seat tracks, are free from contaminants. Following the blow out, we seamlessly transition to vacuuming sucking up all the debris we blew out from all the hard to reach areas.
Got Dog Hair?
If you have a pet or are detailing dog or cat lovers' vehicles, you NEED the Magna Rock Pet Hair & Lint Remover Stone in your detailing arsenal! Made from Pumice, the stone works hard to remove pet hairs from your carpet and upholstery, and won't damage the surfaces it is applied to.
STEP 2 THE DETAIL
Now, to the cleaning of all plastic, rubber, and leather surfaces within the car, starting in the driver's seat with the center console. Employing a methodical approach, I begin by using a specialized brush and cleaning solution to effectively lift and remove dirt and grime from these areas. Next, I utilize compressed air to both dry and blow out any remaining debris, ensuring a thorough cleaning process. To finalize this step, each surface is meticulously wiped down with a microfiber towel, leaving behind a pristine finish. This systematic approach is then replicated throughout the entire vehicle, guaranteeing that every part receives the same level of attention and care, resulting in an interior that radiates cleanliness and sophistication.

STEP 3 THE FABRIC
When addressing fabrics or carpets, it's crucial to focus on cleaning the surface fibers without over-saturating the material. Prior to cleaning, particularly for stained areas, pre-treating with a stain remover is advisable. After applying the cleaning solution, gently agitate the fibers with a brush to ensure thorough penetration and lifting of dirt and stains. For lighter cleaning tasks, a dry microfiber cloth can effectively remove any residue. However, for deeper cleaning requirements, employing a carpet extractor is recommended to efficiently extract any soiled fabric, ensuring a revitalized and refreshed appearance.

THE PROTECTION
Protection and revitalization are essential steps following the cleaning of leather seats, ensuring longevity and maintaining their supple feel. Using conditioners and UV protectants, we shield the leather from premature damage, preserving its quality. This process extends beyond leather to encompass plastic and rubber surfaces as well. Applying conditioners with an applicator pad, we meticulously cover the surfaces, then use a dry microfiber cloth to blend and remove any excess product, leaving behind a uniform finish. By incorporating these measures, we not only safeguard the interior against wear but also enhance its aesthetic appeal and resilience against environmental elements.
STEP 5 THE GLASS
Glass cleaning serves as the culminating step in perfecting your interior detailing. Employing a two-towel method ensures optimal results. Begin by saturating one towel with your chosen window cleaning solution, while leaving the second towel completely dry. With the damp towel, diligently scrub the window, ensuring thorough coverage of all edges and corners. Then, utilizing the dry towel, polish the glass to a streak-free finish. Should streaks persist, simply flip or replace the towels and repeat the process until achieving pristine clarity. This meticulous approach guarantees a flawless presentation, elevating the overall aesthetics of your vehicle's interior.
