Hi guys,

I had a quick search but i cant seem to find anything about cleaning regimes inside the car.

Any tip what to use to clean the carpets AND the awkward tight spaces under and around the seats?

Thanks

I take my seats out once a month to get in the awkward bit, I also use an artists paint brush to get dirt out from around the gear leaver and other bits of trim

I never use any products on interior plastics..Just a wipe with a damp cloth
Mats removed regularly and carpet shampoo applied and wiped/dried
Seats wiped...Scotchgard reapplied every 6 months

Detailing brush to get in the awkward bits & a good hoover out. Carpets, mats & seats cleaned when needed with APC 1:10 ratio. Meguiars trim protectant used on all plastics inside & out, gives a good finish, not greasy at all.

mate, could you please give an example of the detailing brush?

I have a type r so yours might be slightly different but mine is a undo the few bolts holding it to the floor and unplug the cables underneath, you can do a fantastic job with them out.

Never took the seats out on mine & can always get a perfect job done with nozzle on vacuum cleaner. Each to their own I suppose.

Yea I know it's a bit over the top but I'm sure I have OCD, wheels off and clean inside and out and wash wheel arches once a month as well

Each to their own mate, if it works for you & its your routine then faif do's. Wheels coming off mine soon for a clkean & ceramic coating. Not looking foprward to that one as it will be one wheel at a time

Wow one wheel at a time will take a while but will be worth it, people say I spend far to much time/money cleaning my car but at least I know it's well looked after. I dont plan on selling it so don't mind how much I chuck at it

My sentiments exactly!!

Yeah it will, dont have any ramps etc. Mines a company car & people say I am crazy. But I enjoy it & it's the best kept car in our fleet/street.
