15 Steps on Interior Detailing Your Car: A Beginners Guide

In this video we go through the 1 basic steps to detailing the interior of your car (for beginners). From hoovering out, to dressing the plastics, and right the way through to conditioning your leather seats, we go through all the stages to getting the inside of you car looking like it did in the showroom.

These are just the basic steps, and would be done during most routine washes - with the possible exception of leather cleaning and conditioning which usually requires a simple wipe down if done regularly.

We will also soon be adding more in depth videos for each stage, and they will be linked below as and when they become available on our channel.

I have been binge watching your videos since yesterday. I know nothing about car care and I find these videos very easy to follow and very educational.

I really like how you explain the method just by showing it rather than talking and also I like how you explain what products you use along the way. Keep up the good work, probably the best and most informative channel I have seen.

Nice informative video. I like how this is no nonsense and not over the top like a lot of videos out there. Granted it wasn’t a disaster detail but it shows you can save so much faffing about if you just do thing simply

[logicstv]

I appreciate you adding links and name of every items used in the process.

[nateharlock]

This is killer! Practical, quick, and stylish. Love the results. Nice video!!

Cheers Mat, I never thought about putting the cleaner onto the brush especially when your close to the windows,

Hi Mat, I recently spent two days cleaning my daughters Nissan (video posted) & good to see I followed the same steps as you.

[AmzMusic]

Great videos, just what I needed. Thanks!

[GMDetails]

Great video full of useful info but I don’t use APC on leather as I’ve been told it can damage the protective coating on it

[andyconnell]

Another good vid Matt, very satisfying to watch, great tips, Thanks mate

Be careful with those upholstery brushes folks, some of them can be really harsh, I ruined one of the headrests in my old Note. As a rule of thumb start with the softest brush you have first and work up. Now I often use a 2" nylon paint brush where I have cut the bristles down to around an inch (that's 50mm and 25mm for the youngsters!). On interiors I do all the seats then start at the top and work down doing the mats and windows last. I prefer doing interiors over exteriors tbh as I find the whole snow foam/shampoo thing to be a pita.


You could consider a steam cleaner for the interior but you really need something with a bit of oomph. The Dupray neat is decent at £150 but anything with similar specs (you are looking at the temp and the pressure) will be fine.

Brilliant video thank you for sharing! How much time would we need to set aside to do a similar job?

[stevenjones-mi]

Awesome video, thats given me ideas how to do mine, i need to have a window cloth as well as I use a microfibre one.looks a lot cleaner.

[HantsLeo]

[dopeyking]

[MegaNabz]

Very good video but is it me or is @ 8:13 the trim, seat belt and the handbrake are still dirty?

[williamgallagher]

Great job and some great tips, I have been cleaning my mats at the very start even before hoovering, but find they get dust back on before I am finished the car, so will be doing them near the end from now on, thanks for your efforts to help others new subscriber.Willy (Ireland).
