Protecting Your Car’s Interior: Best Practices for Longevity

Protecting your car’s interior shouldn’t feel like a chore. If you’re stuck in a continuous cycling of empty water bottles, scuff marks on door jambs or sticky fingerprints on your dashboard then you might need to resort to some slightly more permanent solutions. Consider investing in mobile car detailing services to keep your interior looking its best.       

At Australia’s Detailing Group we offer plenty of different services designed to preserve the pristine finish of your vehicle’s interior without breaking the bank. We’ve put together a few of our favourite practices for preserving and protecting your car’s interior so you can go longer between detailing appointments.

Avoiding Wear and Tear

You don’t have to be a trucker to warrant some decent seat covers and floor mats. Car interior protection starts with simple additions like waterproof seat covers, floor mats and even protective films for any touchscreens.

If you regularly travel with muddy paws or wild children on the backseat you’ll know all too well about the mystery stains that end up on your upholstery. Even regular upholstery care and leather maintenance can’t prevent spills and scuff marks.

Technical Products in Car Detailing

This one is especially important for glass or mirrors in your car’s interior. You can now find specialist car detailing products that allow you to create a thin layer of invisible protection on interior surfaces. It’s very similar to the technology used in ceramic paint protection and it’s a great investment for regular road trippers.

Schedule Regular Appointments

If you are spending a lot of time in your vehicle or find your vehicle looking a little worse for wear more often than you’d expect, scheduling regular mobile car detailing appointments is definitely the way forward!

Scheduling these appointments before your car is in a sorry state is definitely the easiest way to make sure regular wear and tear doesn’t turn into a more serious problem.

Maintaining Your Vehicle’s Interior

There are a few little tricks you can use to keep your interior sparkly clean for longer. This is great if you want to allow a little more time between car detailing appointments or you enjoy having your car look its best.

Regular Upholstery or Leather Care

Specialist upholstery deodorizers and leather wipes are available from most supermarkets these days and are sometimes all you need to give your interior upholstery or leather a little refresh.

Whilst this won’t give you the same effect as a car detailing appointment would it can still help to prolong the life of your interior in the long term.

Take Out The Rubbish

We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again, take out rubbish as soon as it appears otherwise you’ll clutter up your vehicle’s interior in a matter of days! It is incredible how fast litter builds up in door bins or on the floor of your car.

This is a really good habit to bring into your life but it is even more powerful if you aim to take things back inside once they’re no longer needed in your car as well. The hot Aussie sun can easily melt materials into your interior and that can be a really hard stain to get out!

Damage Control

If you do end up with an inevitable spill or scuff mark make sure you try to tackle it as soon as possible. Allowing these imperfections to sit for longer periods of time can make them more difficult to remove even for professionals.

A Cleaning Kit

Put together a modest cleaning kit for little touch ups in between car detailing appointments. We’re always happy for you to leave the big jobs for the professionals but it can be handy to have a small cleaning kit on hand should you need to do any little spot cleans in between appointments.
