When you clean the interior of your car, you are faced with many choices for cleaning the inside of the cabin. Griot’s Interior Cleaner comes right out of its container ready-to-use. There is no need to dilute it into any particular mixture ratio. The product is simple to use: spray it onto your microfiber towel, and wipe. I do this whenever I’m cleaning a newer or cleaner vehicle as this method helps to clean all of the surfaces of dust, but also cleans the surface gently with each wipe.

Wheel cleaners can be one of the more aggressive chemicals that we use on our cars. They are made to be strong enough to clean off the dirt, grime, and brake dust that is typically baked onto the wheel surface. However, sometimes you want something that is safe to use on your wheels, yet still be able to clean your wheels adequately. Sonax Wheel Cleaner Full Effect is an acid-free wheel cleaner that is safe to use on almost all factory-installed wheels and is a great choice for those wanting a safe, yet still effective wheel cleaner.

I’ve used Adam’s Iron Remover for almost a year now and have been pleased with the results I’ve had. I’ve used it on a number of vehicles ranging from a vehicle that has never had a chemical decontamination for more than a decade to a brand new vehicle. It does what its supposed to, which is to assist with removing ferrous (metallic) contaminants on your car’s paint.

I came across a beginner-friendly carpet cleaner called the Bissell Spot Clean Pro. This unit has a small form factor, is lightweight, and includes a couple of attachments: a 3 inch tool and a 6 inch tool. This works sufficiently for the interior of a vehicle if you are doing the occasional interior carpet cleaning.

Car wash soaps come in a variety of formalations with some car soaps offering characterstics such as extra lubricity, additional gloss, and additional suds. In the case of Chemical Guys Honeydew Snow Foam, it is a car wash soap that offers more soap suds more than your typical car wash soap. This makes it an excellent candidate for use in a foam gun, especially in a foam cannon.

g for a way to easily apply some protectant on your vehicle after a car wash, a good option is to use a spray wax. Spray waxes typically offer an easy spray on, wipe off application, but don’t last as long as a traditional wax. However, the ease of application offsets that downside. Meguiars offers a spray wax called Ultimate Quik Wax, which works well for someone who doesn’t mind applying on a regular basis for a bit of protection on their vehicle.

There are many ways of dusting the interior of your vehicle depending on the situation you’re in. Some areas are more difficult to dust than others due to hard-to-reach or oddly-shaped areas. It’s possible to use a vacuum or compressed air blower with a brush attachment, but these options tend to move the dust around rather then removing it completely. Another option is to use a dust cleaning gel, which molds into the unique shape of the crevice and when pulled away, pulls away all of the dust along with it.

After washing your car, a typical method for drying your car is to use a drying towel that is made specifically for this purpose. Another option for drying off your vehicle after a wash is to use an air blower. This involves using an air blower (think leaf blower) to blow all the remaining water off the surface of your car. It’s important to not let any leftover water to dry on the vehicle, otherwise you might be left with water spots on your car. One of the highest CFM electric blowers that I’ve found is the TORO PowerJet F700 electric leaf blower, which cuts down on the amount of time I’ve had to use a drying towel significantly.

A highly recommended and easy-to-use wax is a liquid wax called Collinite No. 845. This is now a well-known wax that is widely available to consumers. However, I remember about a decade ago when I first used this product and having to go to a boating product retailer called West Marine to purchase it. In fact, Collinite No. 845 was initially created for power companies to coat their insulators, hence the name ‘Insulator Wax’.
