After finishing the exterior of my first ever detail, I will be doing the interior of my parents SUV this upcoming weekend.
The vehicle is a 2001 Santa Fe. The interior contains the following:
Vinyl dash and door panels
Basic carpeting
Fabric seating
Rubber trunk mat
So far I purchased Meg`s Quik Interior detailer and Folex. I also have a 4hp, 10 gallon wet-dry vacuum (Mfg: Shop-Vac). I also believe there is a LGM somewhere in the house. I`m not sure what model...but I do think we have one.
Now here`s what I though I`d do...
First, I`d remove the carpets and vacuum them with "The Shark" vacuum. Then I`d apply Folex, and let it sit for a few minutes. I`d then rub it in with my fingers and finally agitate it with a carpet brush. Finally, I`d power wash the removable carpets and dry them with the shop vac THEN the LGM (if I can find it).
Next, I`d wipe down all the vinyl with a damp wash cloth. Then I would clean with the Megs Quik Interior Detailer.
That`s about all I know...I`m not sure on how I would clean the seats and the non-removable carpets. Obviously I can`t power wash them. Would I ust use Folex, rub it in, the rinse with a damp towel, followed by dryign with the shop vac?
Also, my dad had a glue on "wood grain" dash kit installed. So around his shifter, dash, and door handles are the wood grain dash pieces. Is it safe to use Meg`s Interior Quik Detailer on that? If so, should I spray directly on the dash, or on the MF towel first?
I won`t be starting this until next weekend, so if you think I need other cleaners, concentrates, or reasonably priced tools - please let me know!
Any help is appreciated!
Thank you!
