Here’s an instructional thread to show you some basics on cleaning the interior of your vehicle. It can be used on pretty much application from classic car, exotic or modern daily driver. It doesn’t require complicated tools, products or equipment. Just a basic understanding of how you go about tackling things. In this instance I used a combination of HD TOTAL which is a very concentrated All Purpose Cleaner that is strong enough when used straight to cut through grease on dirty engine compartment, but also be diluted up to 10 to 1 for delicate cleaning duties of this Ferrari interior. Please let me know if you have any questions and comments are greatly appreciated!

During:


I initially tried using the HD Interior Duo Pad and it contained the liquid very well and it had a decent amount of cleaning power.






But, on this particular vehicle, it required a deep cleaning so I elected to use my out stand-by, the toothbrush. This allowed the dirt in the tiny pores/creases to scrubbed away.








Every square inch of this car got scrubbed.











The dirty liquid was wiped away with HD’s Disposable Wipes (100% biodegradable):



After using the cleaned I elected to wipe all the surfaces down with a very damp cotton towel with plain water to remove any possible cleaner residue prior to protecting:



1st the entire interior got blown out with compressed air:



Then Dry Brushed:





Vacuumed:



HD TOTAL applied to each floor section:



Wiped in with a towel:





After:



Floor Mats:

Before:


Dry Brushed:



Blown out with Compressed Air to release embedded debris and loosen up the carpet nap:





HD TOTAL was applied, then allowed to dwell and then brushed:







Dirt was wiped away with cotton towel #1:



Then #2:



Blown out again ~ (fluffing):

 

Finished:



Lastly, HD PROTECT was applied in 2 intervals to all the non-fabric surfaces (this interior sucked it up). I used the same HD Interior DUOPAD, but the soft red this time:

amazing attention to details. what did you do to the driver side seat bolsters that were worn?

 

Thanks djantlive!

Unfortunately, the side bolsters were worn down way too far for cleaning to restore and would require recoloring to be 100% correct. Not a huge undertaking, just not something that was illustrated.

 

Looks great!

 

Thanks Brian!

Wow amazing work! Im assuming you re-dyed and re-sealed the leather?

 

Do you have anything for alcantara? I have a couple of spots that could use some help.

 

Good job, thank you for sharing the air and dry brush method. I will have to try that on my next cleaning. # Justin Kresty
