Summertime is almost here, like seriously, it is right around the corner. And what better way to kick off summer than a little DIY interior detailing for your VW that you love oh so much! Maybe you forgot to do the whole spring clean thing or you’re not sure entirely where to start – well, we got your back. Our blog this week is dedicated to detailing the interior of your vehicle. Check out our guide below!

 

  • Get rid of any dirt, debris, or dust that has built up, using a vacuum and baby wipes, clean out your vents, wipe down your dash, seats, center console, and doors with a microfiber cloth and a cleaning solution. Vacuum your floor mats and the crevices in your seats – things tend to build up here. *Expert tip! Try using Q-Tips for the nooks and crannies.
  • Carpets get real dirty, give them a wash-down. Floor mats are known for harboring moisture, dirt, mud, and all other nasties. Once you remove your mats, wash them using a foaming carpet cleaner. Work the foam over the carpet using a back-and-forth motion. When you decide your carpets are clean, twist a microfiber cloth into the carpets to remove any leftover foam, allow your mats to dry and finish off with another quick vacuum.
  • Clean those windows!!!! Take glass cleaner and a plush microfiber cloth and give your windows a bath. Front, back, Windshield – make sure to show TLC to all of your windows. Clean your windows using a straight-line stroke,  no circles. You may want to pass over your windows a few times for a perfectly clean look. If there are any leftover streaks, use a microfiber cloth to remove them.
  • Seats need love too! In order to clean your vehicle’s seats, you will need an all-purpose concentrate. Try looking for one that is pre-mixed with water and comes in a spray bottle. When you’re ready, spray a generous amount of cleaner onto your seat and using a microfiber cloth, wipe in circular motions to loosen debris. If you have tough, pesky stains – spray the clean again and gently scrub the surface with an all-purpose scrubbing pad and wipe clean with the microfiber cloth.
