Cleaning Interior

So my interior is a light grey in my cobalt, so easy to get dirty and so hard to clean, any tips for the dash and etc? like product wise?

also for the seats, with all the girls coming in and out of my car, I got stains all over the damn place, I obviously learned from my mistake and put a towel down before I do my business with them now haha, but how would I shampoo my seats? im tired of having my car filty!

well i use nothing but Mequiars, mothers, and turtle wax products. Like the quik detailer gold class line of products thru mequiars and for real tuff stains and stuff i use CASTROL Super clean degreaser concentrate. dilute it with some water. use a soft bristle brush and your good to go. there are many interior cleaning products you can buy but the degreaser solution has worked for me for years. O and use microfiber towels of course. Q tips go along way to for getting in those tight spaces.

Get out your steam cleaner, fill it up with hot hot water and suds and get to work. Really wet the cloth, don't worry about spraying other stuff in the car, you'll just have to go back after and clean that too. Make sure you go back over your seats when they're wet and sudsy and suck up all the water, and take your time. It may take a few passes to get most of it out. The seats of course will still be damp. Make sure to keep your windows open overnight to let them air out, otherwise it will stink. Do the same with the carpets on the floors. As for the stains, get some spot treatment and use it per the instructions on the bottle.

To do the plastic, DO NOT USE ARMORALL. We've had customers come back to us six months down the road and complain about their dash peeling and cracking... it dries out everything. We use a product at work that's milky in color, we call it Renew, but it's not called that. It comes in five gallon pales in a concentrate we add water to. Just don't use Armorall. Please.

Stains? Don't let girls in the car when they are on the rag.
