The Interior Detailing Process

Lets face it, a simple vacuuming of the interior is not sufficient enough to thoroughly remove the dirt and grime  found in a cars carpets and upholstery . That's why my process starts with compressed air to purge the interior of dirt and debris and get those hard to reach areas a vacuum just cant reach for example; between the seats, the A/C air vents,  under seats, and in seat crevices. This method along with the application of environmentally friendly cleaners and small detail brushes followed by a deep vacuuming by a wet/dry vacuum is the best method out there for a complete interior rejuvenation. We NEVER use cheep looking "wet & sticky" dressings or "cheap" fragrances on your cars interiors. These products have a tendancy to build up and actually attract dirt to stick to your dash and console. After the cleaning process we then follow up with a carpet shampoo and extractor steam clean, and WOW ! you have a brand new interior. 

Interior Steam Cleaning vs Shampooing Carpets

At JELs Auto detailing we use a machine called a extractor steam cleaner to remove dirt, stains, and debris from carpet and upholstery. a lot of detailers will claim to "shampoo" Interiors with a bucket of water and a brush. But ask any carpet guy and they will tell you unless your actually extracting that dirty water, nothing is actually getting cleaned, only thing getting cleaned is the surface of the carpet,  most of the dirt will get ground down into fibers. We use the combination of shampooing the carpets with a brush, and environmental  friendly cleaners to clean the fibers then go back over it with the extractor to rinse and suck out all the dirt and remove the majority of stains.  The extraction utilizes a solution that is heated to 210 degrees and deep cleans the carpet. Not just the top surface. This kind of treatment  can effectively remove odors caused by bacteria and mildew that may be present in your carpet.

Leather Cleaning & Conditioning

Leather seats are a part of your vehicle that must be cleaned and maintained in a similar fashion of your vehicles paint. Stress cracks and fading can occur to leather seats over time, that's why its imperative you have them cleaned and conditioned when a you clean you car. Leather essentially is skin and skin gets dry and will crack.  That's why usually on the drivers seat you will see stress cracks because the leather has dried out. With pH balanced creams and cleaners you can keep your leather seats looking and feeling soft and supple for years.
