Products to Avoid When Detailing Interiors

There are several interior detailing products that are effective at delivering the results you and your customers desire. However, some wash operators and people that DIY detail their cars can use products that are damaging to a vehicle’s interiors and could pose potential health risks. 

Part of the reason they choose these products for car wash detailing is that they are often cheaper or already at their home. But, unfortunately, instead of getting the results they desire, they can actually cause more damage and make their interiors look worse.

One popular product you should avoid when cleaning the dashboard in vehicles is one that leaves a glossy or shiny finish. For starters, this can cause sunlight to reflect off the dash and blind the driver so they cannot see where they are going. 

As you can imagine, the risk of accidents resulting in injuries is significantly higher. Instead, opt for Armor All cleaning wipes or other products that have a matte finish. 

Using dish soap to clean a car’s interior is another product you should avoid. Some people use dish soap in an attempt to remove stains or mix it with water to wash leather upholstery. However, dish soap can damage fabrics and leather. Furthermore, you cannot effectively rinse the dish soap off the areas where it is used, so there will always be a soapy residue left when it dries. 

These are just two examples of common products you should never use to detail your car. To learn about  products for car wash detailing to avoid, we encourage you to continue reading the following infographic.
