- Hey what's up, guys?
Welcome back to the Chemical Guys Detail Garage.
Today, I will be going over the best tips
on how to properly clean any interior.
Whether it's leather or fabric,
I got you guys covered.
Let's get started.
Whenever you encounter any interior detailing
we recommend starting out with tip number one
which is grab a plastic bag or any type of bag
that you would like to leave behind
for the customer or for yourself.
And this is why I recommend getting a plastic bag
is because whenever you come inside any interior detail
you do not know what you're going to encounter.
They might have sweaters, might have water bottles.
They might have different types of stuff.
So what I would recommend to do is get all their belongings
put it inside a plastic bag, and then you can put it
either in their trunk or you can put it in the back seat
so whenever you're done with the detail,
you just tell the owner, "Hey, I left all your stuff
in the back seat or the trunk like this."
Nothing gets lost and you don't get blamed for anything.
Now moving on to tip number two which is going to be
vacuuming out the hard to reach areas
such as the seats.
Some seats have cracks and crevices
and crumbs or any type of things that might
land in it might be difficult.
So before we get into the cleaning process
you must vacuum out the seats.
We do not recommend vacuuming out the carpet just yet
because you're still going to be knocking off some grime
and some debris off the dashboard,
cup holders, and etc.
Now we'll be moving on to tip number three
which is going to get us into the cleaning process.
So this Lexus behind me has leather surfaces
such as the seats, so this is why
I went with Leather Cleaner.
So Leather Cleaner is a pH balanced cleaner
that's going to help you remove any body oils,
body lotions, or any grime that your jeans
might have left behind.
But I will also be pairing my Leather Cleaner
with my horsehair detailing brush.
This horsehair detailing brush is soft and the bristles
are going to cause a foamy-like substance
whenever I agitate it with the Leather Cleaner.
And like this, I remove any body oils,
jean stains, or any other thing that might be
sitting on the surface of the vehicle.
Now moving on to the next tip which is tip number four.
It is going to be time to protect your investment.
We always recommend protecting your leather
because leather is a skin.
If you do not add a time of conditioner
or a type of protectant to it, over time it will crack.
So this is why I went with Leather Serum, today.
So the Lexus behind me is fairly new.
It doesn't have cracks.
But I want to keep the protection on it
because it does not have tints on it
and the dust is outside, it is not garage-kept.
So Leather Serum is a protectant that's going to protect it
up to 12 months of protection.
Simply apply it onto a microfiber applicator
and just rub it on just like lotion.
It goes on very smooth and it leaves no residue.
If you do have reside, just get a clean microfiber towel
and just wipe it right off.
Just like that, you have protected your leather.
It's not going to crack and the UV rays
is not going to harm or discolor it.
Tip number five is going to be
wiping down the navigation screen,
the dashboards, or any of the components
that are not leather using Total Interior Cleaner.
So Total Interior Cleaner is not just a cleaner.
It is also a protectant.
Simply spray it onto a microfiber towel like this.
You reduce over spray and then you wipe it in one direction
and buff off the residue.
It is not going to add any type of shine to your vehicle.
It is going to give it that OEM factory look.
It also works on navigation screens, glass,
vinyl, plastic, and even fabric.
So just spray it on and wipe it off.
And I like to keep Total Interior on-hand
just in case I want to wipe down my leather.
But the reason why I went with Leather Cleaner
and the Leather Serum is because the leather
on this Lexus is filthy, so this is
just a great maintenance wipe-down.
So tip number six is going to be
disinfecting your ride with Hyperban.
So Hyperban can be used on multiple different surfaces
such as your glass, your mirrors,
hard plastics, chrome, and even your metal.
Simply spray it onto a microfiber towel,
rub it onto the area, and that's it.
That's how simple it is to disinfect your ride.
So now that you disinfected your ride using Hyperban,
last but not least, I'm pretty sure you're outside
of your vehicle now, it is time to vacuum up the carpet.
Everything fell down to the carpet.
This is when you vacuum it out and then once you
vacuum it out, it is time to protect it using HydroThread.
So HydroThread is a ceramic-infused fabric protectant
that's going to add SL-2 properties to your fabric.
Simply spray it onto the surface such as your carpet
or fabric seats and then brush it in with a soft brush.
And just like that, you have ceramic on your fabric
so if you have an accidental spill with water or liquids
it gives you enough time for you to run over,
get a microfiber towel, and damp it up.
So like this, your fabric stays looking new
as much as possible.
