Deep clean the interior again because I'm 100% positive your local detailer did not use a carpet extractor and a steamer.
Step 1: Clean the air vents
Thoroughly scrub the vents and use an air blower to blow out all the cigarette ashes.
Step 2: Work the leather
Since you have leather seats, deep clean them as follows:
- Use your favorite leather cleaner (I use the Colourlock Leather Care Kit). Spray the seats, let it sit for a bit, use a soft brush to work the grime off, and then wipe it down.
- Use a steam cleaner and wrap it with a microfiber towel. If you do not use a microfiber towel around the head of the steamer, it will stain your seats.
Step 3: Clean the carpet
- Remove the floormats, deep clean, scrub, and vacuum them. I suggest using a carpet extractor, which can be rented for $60 at Lowe's or Home Depot with the attachment.
- Spray the carpet liner, scrub, and extract it.
Step 4: wipe it all down.
- Use the steam cleaner to remove ALL the grime on the interior pieces, it is safe to use it directly with no microfiber towel. wipe down with a microfiber towel as you go. (if you have leather on your interior panels, please cover the steamer with a microfiber towel)
- Remove microfiber towel if applicable to get between all the crevice's.
- Finish using your favorite interior detailer (I use Griot's Interior Spray).
Optional: I do recommend this
Run this product in your car with the AC on high circulation mode after deep cleaning:

Then, wipe down your entire interior again with an interior detailer.
