Your vehicle can get awfully dirty on the day-to-day. Crumbs from eating in your vehicle, your drink leaking in your cup holder, anything from your shoes on your floorboards or on your carpeting, or just dust from every day could all be in your vehicle. If you aren't cleaning your vehicle often enough, this can all build up and leave your vehicle filthy. To give your vehicle a deep cleaning, you can take it to an auto detailing shop to have it cleaned both inside and out so it feels like it's brand new again. To help you keep your vehicle clean and to keep up with cleaning your vehicle, there are things you can do yourself. Read on for tips to detail your vehicle like a professional.

Use Slime 

Use homemade slime to get into the small nooks and crannies of your vehicle to remove dust and dander from your center counsel, or your air vents, and other small areas of your vehicle. It can remove dust and smaller crumbs, as these things will stick to the slime and pull up easily. You can rinse your slime and continue to use it throughout your vehicle until it's completely clean and free of that small, fine debris you just can't get up.

Vacuum Thoroughly

Vacuum your vehicle thoroughly, including your seats to remove pet hair and other debris. Vacuum your carpeting and your trunk as well. Use the attachments to remove debris in smaller areas such as the air vents or in the cup holders. Vacuum beneath your seats as well and along the sides of the seats near the door, which can also build up with debris.

Wipe Down Doors

Wipe down the doors, not just where you can see, but inside the door when you open it as well. This can build up with debris and dirt and can eventually cause rust to appear over time. You should wipe down your doors every time you clean your interior and every time you clean your exterior as well. Clean the inside of all of your doors, including inside rear hatches or tailgates.

Your vehicle cost you a lot of money, so to keep it looking like new and to lengthen the life of your vehicle, you should be keeping it as clean as you can. Take it to a car detailing service to give it a deep clean a few times per year, and keep it clean in between those times by using the tips above.
