How to clean your car interior: matte plastics, not greasy

A clean cabin is not a dashboard shining like a mirror. Quite the opposite: plastics “polished” with greasy products attract dust, stay sticky and create reflections in the windscreen that are annoying when driving. The goal is a clean, natural, matte look, like a new car.

1. Empty and vacuum first

Remove mats and loose items, then vacuum everything from top to bottom: headliner, seats, dashboard, carpet last. Use a brush nozzle for gaps. If you clean the plastics first and vacuum afterwards, the dust settles back on your work.

2. Plastics and dashboard: product on the cloth, not the surface

Spray the cleaner onto a microfiber cloth, not directly on the dashboard: you avoid overspray on the windscreen, screens, buttons and electronics. Wipe, then immediately follow with a second dry cloth to remove any residue.

• For very dirty areas (storage bins, handles, steering wheel) let it dwell a few seconds and agitate with a soft brush.
• Avoid “high-shine” silicone products on the dashboard: they reflect onto the glass.

3. Vents, seams and details

A soft brush (even a make-up brush) is perfect for air vents, seams and around buttons. Brush and vacuum at the same time.

4. Screens and displays

Only a clean microfiber cloth, dry or lightly dampened with water. No harsh cleaners: many screens have a delicate anti-glare coating.

5. Inside glass last

Do the glass at the end, so you also remove any splashes from earlier steps. Use two cloths: one to clean, one dry to buff. Wipe the inside of the windscreen horizontally and the outside vertically: if a streak remains, you instantly know which side it is on.

How often? A quick dust and wipe every 2–3 weeks, a full clean every 2–3 months. Little and often, and dirt never builds up.
