The 10 Best Cleaners For Car Upholstery

CarGuys Super (appx. $17) does more than just gussy up seats, as it's capable of beautifying nearly everything you can find in an automobile. You can ditch many other specialized cleaners for a bottle of this stuff, clearing up space in your garage without sacrificing spotlessness.

Chemical Guys CWS_103 (around $24) uses naturally-occurring microbes to eat through any organic matter trapped in your fabric, leaving nary a trace behind — not even a chemical odor. Don't worry about it bleaching your seats, either, as it contains no detergents or solvents.

There's very little that Carfidant Ultimate (about $17) can't handle, regardless of whether it's on the inside or outside of the vehicle. Not only will it polish leather and brighten up cloth, it can also erase any presents your neighborhood pigeon friends left for you.

If it gets you from point A to point B, this selection from Aero Cosmetics (appx. $10) can clean the inside of it. It not only beautifies car cabins, but also works on boats, RVs, and even planes. It will help you travel in style, regardless of your mode of transportation.

It's not for quick clean-ups, but if you're spending a Saturday completely going over your convertible, the 3D Auto Detailing Products (about $13) is perfect for deep shampooing. For best results, use it with a carpet extractor to really knock all that mud and grime loose.

Blue Coral Dri-Clean Plus (around $25) shoots out a drip-free stream of foaming compound, allowing you to target specific spots without accidentally soaking the rest of your interior. The brush on the cap helps you to really dig in deep to lift out caked-on blemishes.

If you're trying to protect your ride from the sun's unrelenting rays, Chemical Guys InnerClean (about $12) can be your strongest ally in the fight. It helps to block UV radiation, sparing the seats, dash, and even steering wheel from cracks and discoloration.

As the name suggests, Dri Wash 'n Guard (about $9) is a waterless stain treatment that dislodges smudges while simultaneously leaving the fabric less vulnerable to future sullying. All you need to do is spray it on the affected area and rub it vigorously with a towel.

While specifically formulated for suede-like materials, Sonax Alcantara (appx. $18) can brighten up just about any fabric, making it a versatile option. It comes in a tiny bottle, though, so it's not really suitable for cleaning every last bit of surface area in a vehicle.

Everyone ought to think about keeping a bottle of Armor All Oxi Magic (around $30) in one of the pocket behind their seats, but pet owners and parents of small children should give it extra consideration. It's extremely easy to use, and usually provides results quickly.
