What cleaning agent should be used for dirty car interiors?
2 Answers
For dirty car interiors, organic cleaning solvents and two-in-one cleaning agents are recommended. The details are as follows: Organic cleaning solvents: Primarily used to remove grease, lubricants, dirt, silicone polishes, rubber processing aids, and fingerprints from the car body surface. Commonly used organic solvents in China include kerosene, gasoline, toluene, xylene, trichloroethylene, carbon tetrachloride, and No. 200 solvent gasoline. When using organic solvents, avoid contact with plastic and rubber components to prevent aging. Two-in-one cleaning agent: This is a high-grade surface cleaner, mainly composed of various surfactants. The waxing component is a specially formulated water wax that forms a wax film on the paint surface during cleaning, enhancing the car's brightness and effectively protecting the paint.
When the interior of the car gets dirty, I usually use a specialized car interior cleaner. For plastic and leather areas, just spray some foam cleaner, then gently brush with a soft-bristle brush and wipe dry. For fabric seats, fabric cleaning foam works better—spray it on the stain, wait two minutes, and then vacuum it away. Never use household cleaners as they can corrode plastic. Remember to test the product in an inconspicuous area first. I always keep wet wipes in the car for quick cleaning and do a thorough clean once a month to prevent stains from building up. This way, the leather seats are less likely to crack.
