How often do you detail your interior? - Page 2 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Old t-shirt and some water.

Though I do need to get to one of those quarter vacuum places and clean the mats. Luckily, the rocks and dirt get stuck between the rubber ridges so it should be a quick job.

Is there a secret method to cleaning the inside of the rear glass? Seriously...

PureShield · 08-29-2015, 03:14 AM

I normally wash my FR-S once a week and detail interior once a month.

I use it to reach the bottom corners of the front windshield as well.

Thank you sir. Do you also use this with glass cleaners (ie Stoners)? I was specifically referring to the "dirt film" that occurs on 1) neglected vehicle glass 2) cars that carry dogs often 3) cars that carry extra moist individuals

Lol, sadly I know exactly what you mean! I just wring out a microfiber towel that's been dipped in car wash soap so it's damp but not dripping, make a pass to "degrease" and then go over the glass with a separate damp towel to clean up, then dry up with a third, glass cleaning towel.
I find that textured weaves works best on glass for drying without streaking. Something like this:

Interior every other week.

Same here. Man, does that all-black interior get dirty fast.

I really wish Toyota/Subaru would have at least went to a dark or charcoal grey and added a little bit of pattern to the upholstery. The tiniest amount of lint or dirt makes these interiors look filthy.

Crawling my 6'-2" 230 lb ass into the backseat and reaching to some really uncomfortable angles.

About as unpleasant as it sounds, unintended double entendre or not.

Hahaha! I just wiped down my interior for the first time last night. Used 303 Aerospray thingy with a micro fiber towel. Not bad but I haven't done the back seat area yet.

You need a never button. Cleaning it ok, but detailing? Maybe if it is a show car. But that is so not my cup of tea anyways, people do what they love.

Man you should see my carpet. Looks like I vaporized a sheep dog.

took the Meguires quick interior detailer to it and you can't tell that I did anything.
