When cleaning manually, it is important to use different cleaning agents and auxiliary tools for different parts. The specific cleaning methods for car interiors are as follows: 1. Cleaning the car's center console: Use cleaning soft gel. For hard-to-reach gaps, cleaning gel can effectively solve this problem. 2. Cleaning door interiors: Use cleaning liquid and a towel. The cleaning agent can dissolve dirt on the door, and then wiping with a towel can remove the stains, achieving good results. 3. Cleaning the car's ceiling interior: Use cleaning spray and a brush. Spray the cleaning agent and then wipe with a brush, finally using a towel to dry the area. 4. Steering wheel cleaning: Use foam cleaner and a towel. Since the steering wheel is made of leather, using a foam cleaning method can prevent damage to the leather material and is quite effective. 5. Leather seat cleaning: Use foam cleaner and a towel. Seats are the most frequently used areas, so the foam cleaning method allows for deeper cleaning and is also easier to wipe off. 6. Cleaning dust and debris inside the car: Use a car vacuum cleaner. The vacuum can quickly and effectively remove debris from corners or gaps, especially fine sand and mud brought in by shoes, which is very effective.
I prefer using pH-neutral car shampoo with water wax for washing my car. This type of shampoo is gentle and won't damage the clear coat on the paint surface, while also leaving a protective layer. Remember not to use laundry detergent or dish soap, as the alkaline substances in them can corrode the paint. When washing, first use a high-pressure water gun to rinse off surface dirt to avoid scratching the paint during scrubbing. It's best to use a microfiber wash mitt with the two-bucket method: one bucket for soapy water and another for clean water to rinse your tools. Dry the car immediately with a chamois cloth after washing, otherwise water droplets can leave spots under the sun. In summer, avoid washing at noon, and wait for the brake discs to cool down after a long drive before washing.
