Interior Car Detailing in Vancouver and the Lower Mainland

What a deep clean covers

A vacuum and a wipe-down is maintenance. A deep clean goes after everything that has worked its way into the cabin over years of use: grit compacted into carpet backing, spills that have dried into the fibres of a seat, film built up on the dash and door cards, and dust packed into vents, seat rails and seatbelt slots.

Everything is done in place, at your home or workplace, with our own water and power supply.

• Full vacuum including under seats, seat rails and the trunk
• Steam cleaning of vents, seams, switchgear and crevices
• Shampoo and hot-water extraction of carpets, mats and cloth seats
• Surface stain removal from upholstery and floor mats
• Leather cleaned and conditioned rather than just wiped
• UV protection applied to the high-impact plastic and vinyl surfaces
• Glass cleaned inside, including the top edge of the windscreen

Why steam matters in a damp climate

Steam does two things a spray bottle cannot. It lifts contamination out of the tight seams, vent louvres and stitching that a cloth simply pushes it further into, and it sanitises without soaking the material.

That second point matters in the Lower Mainland. Over-wetting an interior in a climate this damp is how you end up with a car that smells worse a week later than it did before it was cleaned. Controlled steam and proper extraction take the moisture back out instead of leaving it in the foam.

Odours, pets and mould

Most odour problems are a source problem, not an air-freshener problem. Spilled milk under a seat, a damp footwell from a leaking seal, or a pet that rides in the back every day will keep producing smell no matter what is sprayed over it. We find and treat the source first.

Pet hair woven into carpet and upholstery is removed mechanically before any wet work starts, because hair that gets wet is far harder to lift. Ozone treatment and dedicated mould removal are available as add-ons where an interior needs more than a deep clean.

Leather that lasts

Leather fails at the bolsters and the driver's seat base first, because that is where body oils, denim dye and repeated friction concentrate. Cleaning strips that contamination out of the grain; conditioning puts moisture back so the surface stays flexible instead of drying out and cracking.

Perforated leather is treated carefully so cleaner is not driven down into the seat foam through the holes, which is a common way to create an odour problem while trying to solve a dirt one.

Our Interior Deep Clean Process

1. 01

   Strip out

   Mats, loose items and removable trim come out so the whole floor and every corner is accessible.

2. 02

   Dry pass

   Full vacuum plus mechanical pet hair removal before any moisture is introduced.

3. 03

   Steam

   Vents, seams, switchgear, seat rails and crevices are steamed to lift out embedded grime.

4. 04

   Extraction

   Carpets, mats and cloth seats are shampooed and hot-water extracted, pulling the moisture back out.

5. 05

   Surfaces

   Leather cleaned and conditioned, plastics and vinyl cleaned and given UV protection.

6. 06

   Finish

   Glass, final detail of the tight edges, and a check pass in daylight before we hand it back.
