Pro Detailing Tip: How To Protect Your Interior From Damage

It’s a challenge to keep your vehicle’s interior clean and protect it from damage. Drinks spill, staining trim and upholstery, and making everything sticky. Dirt, food, and other debris get stuck in small areas of the dashboard, doors, or console. Everything takes a beating from pets, shoes, and other things we carry in our car. No matter how hard you try to keep up, cleaning your interior is dirty, time-consuming work.

Fortunately, there are things you can do to protect your interior and make cleaning it easier. In this post, we’ll cover how interior damage can occur and what you can do to prevent it from happening.

How Interior Damage Can Happen

Car mess

Some of us practically live out of our cars. We commute to work, run errands, and take kids to activities. We spill drinks and food, track mud, scuff surfaces with our shoes, and are generally hard on our cars. Pets shed and scratch surfaces. The sun takes its toll as well, baking the interior and damaging dashboards, trim, and upholstery. Over time dirt and other crud build up. Even if you clean your car regularly, it’s still an effort to keep up with everything.

Interior wear and damage also affect your vehicle’s resale value. That’s why car dealerships spend hundreds of dollars per car on labor, cleaning supplies, and reconditioning. No one wants a vehicle with a dirty, scratched interior.

Protecting Your Vehicle’s Interior

There are lots of products available to clean and recondition vehicle interiors. Some of these are specialized, like the gummy stuff that gets the gunk out of cracks or sprays to remove stains. There are products to rejuvenate leather, plastic, and vinyl. However, sometimes the best option is to protect your interior from damage or wear and tear upfront before it gets dirty.

One of the best ways to protect your vehicle’s interior is All-Fit’s Gap Trim. Using Gap Trim not only covers the gaps in your trim but also gives your interior a truly custom look. Best of all, it’s an affordable solution, and you can choose from eight different colors.
