DIY Professional Car Detailing On A Budget

So you want to bring back that new car smell and feel without doing damage to the piggy bank. You're in good hands with Toyota of North Charlotte. We are coming to you with all of the tips, tricks, and hacks on professionally detailing your car on a budget. Car detailing can be on the pricier side and may not be everyone's cup of tea. We'll be covering everything from doing your own car washing to how to clean the interior like a pro. 

Let's get into it!



Vanish the bad smells. 

Over time in your N Charlotte Toyota, you might discover that you have a funky smell lingering in your car, and you want it gone. One great way to do this is to gather baking soda from your kitchen cabinet and spread it throughout your seats and carpet. Then, make sure to leave it in there for a few hours and vacuum afterward. 


Get your interior back to sparkling new. 

Spending extra money on interior cleaners isn't necessary if you're balling on a budget. Instead, grab olive oil and a microfiber cloth from your kitchen pantry to use to clean the plastics, vinyl, and SofTex parts of your N Charlotte Car. 


For fabric seats that you want to bring back to life, use soap, water, and a nice big sponge to scrub out any dirt in your upholstery. After that, you'll have clean seats, but if you find any leftover strains, grab ¼ cup of baking soda and a cup of water to scrub it out. 


Cleaning the exterior of your N Charlotte Car

One of the worst cleaning supplies for the exterior of your N Charlotte car is dish soap. Why? You may ask. Well, it's filled with harsh chemicals that can wear and tear on your car's paint. So if you're trying to clean your car's exterior, grab your hair conditioner and some water to dilute the conditioner for a glossy and budget-friendly finish. 


Polish those windows! 

If you have ever been to the gas station, you've probably used the water and cleaning brush to wash your windshield. While it clears some smudges out of the way, it doesn't do the complete cleaning thoroughly. So, you may want to return home shortly after and grab your Windex for a better finish; however, this is what NOT to do. Instead, use white vinegar mixed with water as a cleaner and grab your old newspaper or a microfiber cloth to wipe your windows down. 


Dust away; it's a must!

If you find that your vents are dusty and you don't want to clean each vent area one by one, we have a hack for you. Grab an aerosol spray designed for cleaning vents to save yourself money and some headaches. These sprays make it super easy to remove any dust that's stuck deep in your ducts, to ensure cleaner air quality in your N Charlotte Toyota.
