Pressure Washing Your Interior

[Old Moparz]

Someone showed me a video of a woman at a car wash pressure washing her car.

The entire car.

Including the interior. 

I couldn't link the video but apparently there is a whole subculture of people all over that do this. How could this not be a bad idea?

I'll admit that I have hit the inside door panels (plastic) on my daily when just hand scrubbing wouldn't take the crud off.  But, this is a little more overkill.

I've done this - to a rhino-lined CJ7 with drain plugs in the floor.

Doing it to a normal car... not in a hurry to find out how that would work out.

Maybe if I lived in Arizona.





My cousins had me powerwash the engine of my first car before we restored it.  I was 15 and cleaned it up beautifully.  Wouldn't start though because I knocked off all the plug wires - probably also a lot of paint.

all joking aside ,   best way to clean  cloth seats & carpet , providing the seats have not got  air bags or electrics  ,  done it loads of times when I use to buy salvage cars & repair them ,  take  the interior out though first  ,  first thing a lot of people look at when buying a car ,  who are not car guy/girl type people , is the interior , how clean the interior is

Do you also do the beach ball trick to get it to smell like brand new vinyl?(had a buddy who did that )

I have never heard of the beach ball trick but I'm going to store that one.

I agree. I have cleaned a lot of nasty vehicles that way... Pull the seats and carpet, pressure wash them, let them air dry a couple of days, then reinstall. Interior looks like new! I work for the Highway Dept, and our work trucks are plain janes with vinyl seats/rubber floor mats. I have to turn it in every 2-3 years to get a new one, and I have to detail the truck I use before I turn it in. Over a couple of years they get real dusty/dirty from daily use, so when I have to clean it, I pull up to a car wash, open all the doors, then power wash everything. Done it numerous times.
