Default Cloth Interior

Hi guys, my Honda needs a major clean up in the interior. I was wondering if there are any recommended ways and brands to clean my car with. Thanks.

Ancient peoples found their clothes got cleaner if they washed them at a certain spot in the river.

Why?

Because, human sacrifices were once made on the hills above this river. Year after year, bodies burnt. Rain Water seeped through the wood ashes to become lye.

The lye combined with the melted fat of the bodies, till a thick white soapy discharge crept into the river.

simply, remove your interior, take it to your nearest alter of sacrifice, and find a nearby source of flowing water...

It depends on what the problems are.

Get a trash bag and remove any garbage and other items. Look under seats and in the glovebox and every other storage bins. Clean out the dome light cover.

Dust the car's dash, rear deck, and all other plastic interior pieces.

Vacuum the car.

Wiper down all interior plastics with a wet rag. Use Simple Green on oily stains (rinse afterwards with wet cloth). Use a soft toothbrush and other soft brushes to clean inside vents and creases.

Steam clean the car. Use Simple Green on oily stains and an oxy cleaner on other stains. If they've set in too much, they just won't come up sometimes.

Then dress the dash if you want to.

Clean the interior windows after you dress the dash and such. This will keep you from having the dash cleaner and conditioner all over your windows.

be careful with the oxy clean... if you mix it from a powder and mix it to strong it will disolve the cushioning under the cloth and make your cloth a nasty brownish color!... I made this mistake! I hope you wont. I know I sound like an instrucion manual or something but just do a test patch somewhere not so noticeable with whatever you chose to wash your seats with. Clean cars are SOOOO much nicer to drive and ride in, and chicks dig clean rides Good luck and cheers!

I just use the spray form of an oxy cleaner. It's easier and I have other things to do than mix powder and water when I'm detailing.
