I usually just use armor all for the dash and door panels, and vacuum the inside. If theres bad spots I just use whatever carpet cleaner I have in the house.

Getting warmer...

Thanks Jojo!

I am well aware of armor all, vacuums, leaf blowers etc...

My shit isn't a pigsty, I just want to get the carpets and seats back to a like new condition.

Simple Green and a brush for bad stains.

I'll give that a shot.

Do you vacuum it out after or just let it air dry?

I love Simple Green. We buy it by the gallon.

Vacume it out before you apply simple green to take care of the loose dirt, then again after it drys to remove any new loose dirt.

It depends on how dirty you interior is...a good automotive carpet cleaner is good for spots. If your interior is really dirty and/or dusty nothing beats a carpet extractor but not everyone has them sitting in their garage.

carpet extractor? that a machine or a solvent?

I use McGuire... though I haven't worried about it for about 5 years... as that was the last time I had a truck with a nice interior... I just bought some today actually...

I stay away from Armorall... as last time I checked that shit was water based... and dries out plastic... ie your dash... but that was 8 or so years ago... and McGuire shit's always done well for me...

Get a horse hair brush for dusting all the little nooks and crannies on the dash.

If you use Armor All or something like that, keep the car well-ventilated because that crap evaporates onto the windshield and leaves a film on it.
