How to Clean Your Acura Interior

A new Acura model is a terrific investment. When you’re enjoying the great performance and awesome technology inside yours, you’ll also want to keep it clean to maintain that premium feel you were after when you bought it in the first place. Here’s a guide on how to clean your Acura interior from our Jersey City area Acura dealer.

What You Need to Clean Acura Interior:

• A small vacuum or access to a shop or commercial vacuum
• Glass cleaner
• Cloths or shop towels
• Leather cleaner and protectant (if leather interior)
• Upholstery shampoo

How to Clean Acura Interior:

Clear the junk: Move out any loose items you keep in the car, like CD cases, spare sunglasses, and all that other good stuff. Put it all in a box so you can return it to your Acura cabin later.

Vacuum it up: If you have a handheld vacuum or a shop vac with a long hose, use that to carefully vacuum all the debris from floors, surfaces, and creases in the car. If you don’t have one of those, bring a handful of quarters to a local gas station or car wash that offers pay-by-the-minute industrial vacuums.

Wipe down surfaces: With a damp cloth or shop towel, wipe down the hard surfaces like the dashboard and door panels. Conversely, special leather or vinyl interior wipes can be purchased for car interiors. If you have leather or vinyl upholstery, wipe those down too.

Treat if needed: If you have leather seating or surfaces, purchase some leather treatment and apply it to avoid cracking.

Shampoo cloth or carpeting if needed: If your cloth seats or carpeted floor have attracted a stray coffee spill, for instance, use upholstery shampoo and a cloth to scrub it out, then use a damp cloth to remove any shampoo residue.

Clean the windows: Regular glass cleaner will do, but specialized auto glass cleaner is best: Spray it on the glass, and rather than using flat paper towels, use balled up newspaper to wipe down the windows and windshield. This will avoid streaks.
