The best way to keep your car's resale value high and to feel good every time you get in it is to keep your car as clean as possible. Vacuuming your floors and taking out the garbage is simple enough, but damage to the leather or vinyl interior of your car is much harder to deal with. Interior car protectants clean and repair any damage that has occurred that a vacuum, duster, or garbage bag won't be able to fix. These products are perfect for cleaning hard to reach places like your dashboard or in your seats. Choose your favorite brand and then follow the simple tips in this guide as few as two to three times a year, and your cars will be looking fantastic for years to come.

Tips On Using Interior Care Protectants
* Make sure to test your spray or gel on a small section of your interior to make sure it has no effect on the cars coloring before you use it on the whole car.
* Work the protectant into all of the cracks and seams of the seats, doors, and dashboard. Consider using a tooth brush to get into hard to reach places.
* When cleaning the dashboard, use a foam applicator pad so as not to allow excess protectant into any unwanted crevices. Many of the protectants come with these pads, but check before you buy!
* This can be a overwhelming task if your car is a total mess but if you clean out the garbage and shake out your mats regularly, it won't seem so daunting!
