How We Do Things - Interior
Vacuuming & WetVac Extraction
Dust and particle extraction is conducted with a trusty Henry the hoover! There might be more prestige brands of vacuum out there but a certain amount of flexibility is required as well as various attachments to reach tight spaces. Depending on the level of contamination and how far particles have penetrated the carpet we sometimes use powered brush agitation to bring said particles to the surface to achieve that deap clean. With the aid of a soft detailing brush to safely release particles we also vacuum the dashboard, infotainment and other touch points as these are key areas where particles can accumulate.
​
Our WetVac extraction process involves pre-treating the surface (carpets, matts or cloth seats) with interior conditioning shampoo and leaving to dwell before agitation with a drill brush. This effectively and efficiently brings to the surface potentially years of dust, mud, sweat and grime which is then extracted after being diluted with warm water. This process removes any and all contaminants including the vast majority of stains to leave the surface in as close to new condition as is possible.
​
After every interior detail we use Autoglym Antibacterial (and anti-viral) Multi-surface sanitiser to sanitise your vehicle for your safety.
Surface Decontamination
We use specially formulated interior shampoo and a combination of soft detailing brushes and ultra plush microfibre towels to deep clean interior plastics and other surfaces (excluding leather). The soft detailing brushes are used to agitate the surface once the interior shampoo has been applied after which the microfibre towels wipe away the residue. This is necessary due to dust particles as well as other contaminants making their way into air vents and the spaces between buttons (This is another great example of how detailing is on the next level). A seperate dry microfibre towell is then used to buff the surface and remove any residue of cleaning products.
​
Particularly sensitive areas such as the infotainment screen and drivers dials are first brushed away with an ultra ultra soft detailing brush after which a tiny amount of solution applied to a microfibre towel is then used to safely wipe the surface.
​
Interior plastics are then treated with 303 Aerospace Protectant which leaves a satin finish and provides protection against the suns UV rays.

Leather Treatment
We use dedicated medium bristle brushes combined with microfibre cloths and solvent free leather cleaner to clean and decontaminate all of the leather in the vehicle. Our process guarantees no marks will inflicted on the leather and we are able to remove the majority of stains. Once completed the leather will be restored to it's natural condition.
​
To condition the leather as well as protect it we use Autoglym Leather Care Balm. This product feeds the leather and essentially moisturises it to restore and maintain it's natural softness. Over time UV rays can degrade the leather as well the wear and tear it encounters from every day use, this is why it's important to protect and preserve it. Well cared for leather will last for years and still look new!
