With the right techniques and products, you can clean both the interior and exterior in record time – and still achieve a professional finish.
1: Preparation Is Key
- Gather all your supplies before starting:
Bucket, microfiber cloths, brushes, vacuum, and cleaning agents - Avoid pausing to search for tools mid-clean
- Choose a shaded spot – skip direct sunlight
2: Clear Out the Car First
- Remove trash and loose items:
Empty the car of bags, bottles, papers, etc. - Start from the inside and work your way out
- Makes it quicker to clean floors and seats
3: Use a Handheld Vacuum
- Save time with mobile suction power:
Clean in order: front seats, back seats, trunk - Use attachments for cracks and tight spots
- A powerful handheld vacuum saves precious minutes
4: All-Purpose Interior Cleaner
- One product for many surfaces:
Use an all-in-one interior spray for plastic, leather, and fabric - Spray, wipe – and move on
- Microfiber cloths deliver the best finish
5: Wash Exterior Top to Bottom
- Strategic exterior cleaning:
Start with the roof, then sides, finish with wheels - Reduces the chance of spreading dirt
- Use a wash mitt and the two-bucket method
6: Quick Wheel & Tire Care
- Efficient products and brushes:
Spray wheel cleaner, let sit briefly, then scrub - Use a dedicated brush for faster cleaning
- Rinse quickly to avoid stains
7: Fast Window Cleaning
- Inside and outside in one go:
Use glass cleaner and clean cloths - Spray onto the cloth – avoid streaks
- Circular motions give a streak-free shine
8: Quick Dry with Microfiber Towels
- Dry your car without spots:
Use large, absorbent cloths - Start with flat surfaces
- Don’t rub – blot gently instead
9: Spray Wax for Instant Shine
- Skip hand-applied wax:
Spray wax gives shine and protection - Apply to a wet car and dry at the same time
- Takes just minutes and saves loads of time
