Ahhh summer! Around here, the sun and the heat is a very good reason to take the time to wash our vehicle from top to bottom.

A quick interior cleaning in 5 easy steps, we like that!

We offer you our favorite products that can be used at home as well as in a workshop, which offer an impeccable and professional results.

If you have a vacuum cleaner (dry/wet) like a Shop Vac at home, we suggest to use it to make the cleaning process even faster and more efficient.

Here’s our key steps for optimal cleaning:

We all know that small crumbs collect quite quickly in our vehicles, especially with children. This is why to vacuum is probably the most important step in vehicle interior cleaning. It allows us to pick up all the debris in the corners and remove most of the dirt accumulated in the vehicle.

In our opinion, there is nothing better than hot water to say goodbye to small calcium stains on car mats. Remove the carpets from the car and pour a small amount of hot water to melt the salt, then scrub the stains with a small brush, or an old toothbrush. If stains are still apparent, SALT BUSTER Salt Stain Cleaner (ACH-836-016) can be very usefull as it removes salt deposits quickly thanks to its active foaming formula.

All that's left to do is vacuum it up and you're done!

Knowing that a chammy has many uses, it is one of the best options for removing dust from dashboards and consoles. Using FREE SHINE silicone-free dressing (ACH-705-016) with The Absorber (CT-WR-16149) humid chammy on a matte (standard) dashboard, you are guaranteed to achieve a shiny, dry to touch finish surface. This vinyl, rubber, leather or plastic protector, in addition to leaving a pleasant strawberry smell, repels dust and retains its finish for more than 30 days.

For glossy dashboards, it is recommended to apply DETAIL Rubber and plastic dressing (ACH-726-032). This one offers the same protection, but its solvent-based formula penetrates surfaces more to improve durability. The product leaves a matte finish if wiped off or a glossy shine when allowed to dry.

Now, do not forget the windows! The sun rays sometimes allow us to notice how dirty our windows are. ABX Professional triple strength glass cleaner (ABX-513000) is one of our favorites and the # 1 glass cleaner used by professionals. It is also very effective against most of the toughest residues, such as dust, grease, insects, cigarette smoke and more. Just spray it on and wipe it off, it's that easy!

The interior of the car is not completely clean if the seats have not been cleaned properly. To do this, we use VINYL FAB fabric, vinyl and leather cleaner (ACH-807-016) for both new and old cars. This interior shampoo contains very powerful biodegradable surfactants that remove common stains and accumulated dirt on seats, door panels and even interior roof arches and vinyl tops. Its foam cleans quickly by lifting dirt and grease without saturating the fibers of the fabrics.

If you want to preserve the beauty of your vehicle interior longer, we recommend that you apply a protector to your seats and carpets. Fabric Guard Fabric treatment (ACH-1110) is used to waterproof car seats and mats. Once the surface has been treated, this protector helps repel any dirt, prevents stain penetration, increases wear resistance, prevents dulling and makes cleaning easier...Wow!

In addition, the application is effective and safe on all types of fabrics. In fact, it can be applied to many other things like winter boots, tents, canvases, parasols, armchairs and more!

You have a bad smell that persists in our vehicle? Use ODOR EXIT (ACH-7015), a product specially formulated to effectively eliminate all bad odors due to mold, cigarette smoke, sweat and animal odors at the source. It can also be sprayed into vehicle air conditioning systems for even greater efficiency, in addition to leaving no traces on carpets and fabric surfaces.

Now there's no need to visit the local car wash anymore...you can do it all at home while enjoying the good weather. It's efficient, fast and economical!
