Tips for maintaining your vehicle’s interior

Keeping your car in showroom condition can provide you a lot of satisfaction. Much of that is cleaning and waxing your car to preserve the exterior gloss, but as your mother used to say, what’s inside that counts.

It’s worth taking the time every few months to make sure your inside is maintained rather than letting your leather seats grow cracked and worn or your Alcantara accents become dusty and matted.

Simply vacuuming away any loose dirt and using a microfiber cloth to apply a moderate, pH-neutral leather cleanser (harsher cleaners can strip seats of their natural oils) will effectively clean leather interiors. Circularly work the cleaner into the leather before using a fresh cloth to wipe it dry.

Use a soft sponge to apply a small layer of conditioner to the seats after they have been thoroughly cleaned. (Confirm that it has no negative effects on the leather in your automobile by performing a spot test in a tiny, concealed location.) After two hours, let the conditioner soak into the seats, and then buff it off with a fresh microfiber cloth.

How to clean your cloth interior

Although it’s getting harder to find cars with cloth interiors, if you have an older vehicle with cloth seats (or selected the non-leather choice when choosing from the lot), you should still give your seats a thorough cleaning a few times a year.

To begin, hoover out any loose debris from the crevices and top fabric layer of the seat. Spray the seat’s surface sparingly (don’t overdo it) and work the region with a strong internal brush to bring any embedded dirt to the surface. Finally, use a microfiber cloth to remove the grime. Until the entire surface is clean, repeat the procedure.

How to clean your Alcantara interior

High-end performance automobiles now frequently employ alcantara because:

Despite not being as difficult to maintain, it has the same texture as suede.

b) The interiors of race vehicles come to mind, and manufacturers love to make that contrast.

Alcantara fibres can become matted down and trap dirt, much like suede or its less expensive sibling microsuede. For the most part, a soft brush can be used frequently (once a week) to keep it feeling clean, but an Alcantara cleaner works wonderfully for more thorough cleaning.

Apply the cleanser to the sponge and work it into the internal surface after brushing the material.
