Interior Cleaning Tips
So I spent most of today completing a full interior clean. Woke up at 7am and finished around 3pm given the drying time for seats and carpet.
I used the following: Sonax Alcantara and Upholstery cleaner, Scotchguard water repellent, Griots interior cleaner, Stoner Invisible glass, Shin-Etsu grease, Blue Hawk latex paint brush, Zibra square paint brush, microfiber pad, microfiber towel, shop manual, shop-vac, and tools.
Not a professional by any means but fairly detailed oriented when it comes to cleaning cars. Here's what I did for my own car. For those of you that obviously have leather seats and soft tops some cleaning steps and products will be different.
1. Uninstalled seats.
2. Wiped off all interior surfaces.
3. Vacuumed full interior.
4. Cleaned and brushed carpets with Scotchguard Carpet and Rug protector.
5. Applied Scotchguard protection.
6. Cleaned seats with Sonax Alcantara and Upholstery cleaner.
7. Applied Scotchguard water repellent to seats.
8. Replaced passenger scratched rear passenger trim.
9. Applied silicone grease to passenger seat screws (they squeak).
10. Installed seats.
11. Replaced front seat bolts with Kodakan seat locks.
12. Lubricated all hardtop seals.
13. Cleaned hardtop headliner.
14. Reinstalled hardtop.
15. Cleaned, applied Scotchguard water repellent, and installed 4 pc JDM mats.
