in today's video i'm going to be taking you through a beginner's guide to interior car
detailing now this video is going to be perfect for those of you who are just getting started or
you just occasionally enjoy the odd bit of car cleaning on the weekend so by the time
this video is finished you're going to have all the knowledge to get out there and get it right
coming up in today's jam-packed episode i share my top tips for cleaning the interior of your
car and i give away some of the biggest secrets from the trade to help you get
the job done in the quickest time possible so let's kick it off with step number one
so the first thing you got to do is get the car completely empty so get everything out of the
boot now normally i like to start off by doing the boot first that's just common sense for me
because then at least if it does rain i can get everything back into the boot to keep it all dry
because there's nothing worse you get everything out the clouds come over it pees it down with rain
and then everything gets soaking wet so this way it just makes life a little bit easier normally it
takes a few minutes to get everything out and make sure you wear gloves because you never know what
nasty surprises are lurking under those seats okay so now the car's completely empty this is perfect
because i've put the seats forward these have been folded up so now i've got so much space to get
around the car if i'm going to do the boot first i can then take care of the seats fold it all back
and then i'm ready to move on to the second stage so we're going to do this in three stages
start off with the boot number one number two we're going to start off in the middle and then at
number three at the very end we're going to finish it all off by doing the front of the car so that's
the best way to break down your cleaning break it down in stages keep it very simple and it will
make your life so much easier so remember i told you to fold the seats well there's a very good
reason for that and i know you can't do it with every single car but for this one this is going to
make our life a heck of a lot easier because now we're going to start off by doing the roof lining
so first of all you've got to soak your brush not crazy don't go ott the last thing you want to do
is put too much product on the roof lining and you find your spot that you want to target and start
brushing into it into a circular motion now you probably will get a little bit of foam up on it
but that is not a problem what that foam's going to do it's going to lift out any of the dirt so
you've only got to do it for about sort of 30 to 50 seconds so now get yourself a clean
towel now i like to use lighter tail so i've got a white one here i like to use yellow ones as well
if you go for a dark one you can't always see the muck and the grit that comes off
this so what you're going to find is when you've got a white one if i wipe this now
i can see that on this i've got a few little stains i don't really want to go putting that
back up on the roof because it's going to make it worse so now i only have to fold the towel
over and job done absolutely perfect with the roof lining now done it's time to tackle the
boot so i work top down and i start off by giving the plastics a light dusting now if you can't
afford detailing brushes then you can always use soft paint brushes or even a makeup brush
and while i'm on the subject of paint brushes if you haven't seen my poundland special yet
i really do urge you go check it out after this video is finished now we'll put a link in the
description below because honestly i feel that this one's right up there with one of my best
videos on a channel it's great fun it's full of information and it really can help you save money
if you're car cleaning on a budget when it comes to chemicals you need a good interior cleaner
and the one i'm using today is yum interior and it's one of the best on the market and it's pretty
much safe on everything it touches so i started off by spraying the cleaner onto the plastics and
i agitated it with the soft brushes and it works like magic and because i like to look after my
nice brushes i then kept my 30p brushes which are great for getting underneath the rubbers just in
case there's some nasty gunk the boot mat is very easy to clean and for this i'm using one of those
free brush tools that come with every single vacuum cleaner so there's a top tip for anybody
who wants to save a little bit of extra money because they're perfect for getting
in the fibers in the carpets and while we're on the subject i've got a question for you which
do you normally do first do you start off on the outside or the inside let me know in the comments
for the boot door plastics make sure you spray the cloth first instead of spraying above your head
because you don't want to get any chemicals in the eye because let me tell you
that is not pleasant it's time to get cracking on the rear seats and the vacuuming is so much easier
when they're folded down it really can speed up the cleaning process by a good five minutes or so
so we can finally take off the boot from the list and we're moving into the middle of the car
with an initial dusting just to loose off some of the crumbs and dead skin
at this point we aren't going for perfection in fact we just wanted to get a good 80 out as we
will be spraying the interior cleaner and flicking bits onto the floor and here's another power tip
for you always try to keep the doors shut because on days like today as you can see we had a fair
bit of wind and there was lots of pollen and there was lots of dust in the air that was blowing in
a lot quicker than it was coming out the seats are very easy to clean and today i have leather ones
and before you say why don't you just get out the leather cleaner well the answer is simple
i don't need to and that's because i'm using my trusty yum interior and because it's great
on everything i just want to prove that you don't need loads of chemicals for your everyday general
car cleaning so i'm using three different brushes for this valet and i totally understand every car
is different so next time we get a horrific car i will be going into severe deep cleaning with
a steamer and the power drill so make sure you hit the subscribe button and stay tuned for that video
the door cards have the usual scuffs and once again i'm sticking to my interior
cleaner but as you spray the doors it's important not to spray close to the glass
as you don't want the chemical residue on it especially in the direct sunlight when it comes
to the top simply spray the tip of the brush work it into the trim and then follow up with a wipe
with the seats taken care of and pushed back i'm now ready to tackle the driver's section and once
again i'm using the heroic poundland brushes on the pedals just in case i trod in dog poo
earlier which brings me to another disgusting fact now think about how many times you tread
in things like dog poo or walk in public toilets where there's loads of germs if those brushes
were used on the pedals and then used on the steering wheel you would essentially be putting
those germs back onto your hands so remember that next time you're eating a bag of crisps in the car
the germs can spread easily and it's horrendous and if you're finding any of these tips or facts
useful then please give this video a thumbs up for the carpets it's very easy and sometimes
you may think you need loads of water to get a good clean finish but that's not true
in many cases you can make do with a good fabric spray and a scrub with a brush
if it's horrid then a wet extraction is definitely needed if you see my glass cleaning video then you
may notice that i always preach about not using chemicals but sometimes on the odd occasion you do
need to break out the glass cleaner and the method is exactly the same as my traditional one albeit
that you have to spray a little bit of cleaner onto the glass or onto the flunky also it's so
important to get the windows down slightly and if you want to get perfect glass those scum lines can
be a real eyesore so spend the extra few minutes just to get them sparkling for me dressing the
plastics is the very last thing i carry out when it comes to a basic interior valley but because
yum interior is that good you don't always need to dress it on top unless it's something that you
prefer yourself and because it's anti-static it reduces the chances of dust clinging onto the trim
so there you have it it just goes to show you don't need loads and loads of chemicals to do
a very good job in fact you need a couple of chemicals a few brushes and a few cloths
that will be good enough for your general interior valley and if you want to see more
videos like this that go a bit more in depth then we are going to be covering wet vacuuming
steam cleaning and also breaking out the power drill so make sure you hit the subscribe button

is going to be coming in the next few days and boy is it a cracker i'll see you later bye
