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

NWFRS · 06-09-2015, 11:50 PM

Just finished detailing my interior.

GOSH that's labor intensive.
I enjoy the results but not the actual process. I use microfiber rags, Meguire's interior detailer on all the plastics and Griot's Garage 3-in-1 conditioner on the leather, applied with their little round sponges. I'm thinking I must be on the lazier end of the spectrum. I probably manage my car and my wifey's car every two to three months. I got tired just now and didn't even vacuum the floors. Curious what everyone else is managing...

Interior every other week.

Exterior every month

Josh Ehlert · 06-10-2015, 03:25 PM

As far as the exterior goes, I wash it like twice a week weather permitting and clean the interior every Sunday. I cannot stand cleaning the interior. I'm very lazy when it comes to that. I'm prolly gonna start paying someone to do it but I need to find someone I can trust.

i know a few people that are crazy about keeping there interior clean

they even have special shoes they will use to drive that never have been used outside of the car

i can get a little crazy and use a brush to get into spaces to clean off dust build up, but thats as far as i will go

Haven't done it yet, so once every 2+ years for me. Occasionally, if I notice dust I'll wipe it away.

MonoRaven · 06-10-2015, 07:10 PM

Not often enough!

Kiske · 06-10-2015, 08:45 PM

About once every quarter. I work in a bodyshop so dust is futile.

echo419 · 07-10-2015, 09:22 AM

aside from hitting the carpet with a shop vac and the glass I haven't.

Can I spray some type of protectant on the Alcantara fabric?

stugray · 07-10-2015, 02:28 PM

I havent cleaned out my car's interior since I bought it (2 years now)

Although, I am not a huge slob and I never eat in my car.
I have taken out my weathertech mats and hosed them off twice and washed my windshield on the inside.

I usually just use this once every two weeks. lol
