Step 1: Get vacuuming
Use the extender cord on your vacuum or, even better, a handheld vacuum to get into the nooks and crannies of your car. Start from the top to the bottom, so any dust, dirt or debris that may fall to the floor will be picked up at the end when you vacuum the footwells.

Step 2: Maintain your dashboard
Spray your dashboard with WD-40 Multi-Use Spray and wipe with a soft sponge to ensure there’s an even coating over the whole thing and give it time to lift grime. After five minutes, wipe the WD-40 coating away with a dry cloth to leave the surface shining. And for the finishing touch, apply another coat but lighter this time and rub it gently into the surface to leave a protective barrier.

Step 3: Clean your car’s interior with 1001

Floor mats and seats: to remove stains, apply 1001 Carpet Stain Remover, it’s quick and easy to do.

Step 4: Make easy work of tricky areas
Lightly spray WD-40 Multi-Use on door handles, vents and cup holders and use an old toothbrush to lift and remove dust, dirt and debris. And be careful with delicate fixings in your car, be gentle when brushing these areas. Once you’re happy with the results, lightly spray WD-40 Multi-Use again to protect.

Remove dirty fingerprints and smudges with a little WD-40 Multi-Use. Spray the window and wipe the glass in a circular motion using a microfibre cloth! You can do the same with your interior mirrors and chrome fixings – you’ll be amazed with the results.
