The Best Chemicals for Interior Detailing

Professional detailers know that a car’s interior requires specific chemicals and supplies. That’s why we carry a full lineup of interior chemicals developed in-house. 

Detail King’s detailing soaps & cleaners are all eco-friendly and biodegradable, and the interior auto detailing cleaners are designed specifically for interior components so they will not only be safe but will also not leave a film on the freshly cleaned surfaces. Our interior dressings and conditioners clean and restore the interior of a vehicle’s interior and leave behind a pleasant scent. 

For every job, we have the product you need.

Plastic, Leather, and Vinyl

For an interior cleaner that’s tough on dirt but gentle on the plastic, leather, or vinyl, look no further than Pink Power. This ready-to-use cleaner can be sprayed onto a soft brush or towel and worked in to clean and restore a multitude of surfaces in a vehicle. 

Magic Cleaner Concentrate can also be used on almost all interior surfaces, from plastic and vinyl to carpets and upholstery, and even leather seats. With different dilution ratios, this product can be applied in nearly every job. 

Leather can be cleaned and conditioned in one step with Leather Magic if it is not heavily soiled, or use the Leather Magic for conditioning after cleaning. 

Finally, to shine and protect all hard surfaces against fading, turn to Pearl Gloss. This interior dressing can be used at full strength or diluted for a more matte look. 

Carpet and Upholstery

Our high-foaming Carpet Shampoo is powerful against ground-in mud and dirt on carpets and floor mats. When working with a carpet extractor, a low-foaming soap is ideal. Detail King’s Extractor Soap was designed with this in mind. Simply mist it over carpets and upholstery, allow it to set, and extract. Because of its gentle properties, Extractor Soap is also a great fit for headliners. 

For a spray-on spot remover to break down stubborn stains, use Hot Shot or Magic Cleaner Concentrate at full strength. 

If you’re dealing with odor-causing organic spills and stains, Bio-Zyme is the product you need. It’s a highly concentrated enzyme cleaner for carpet and upholstery designed to destroy odors at the source. 

Carpet Reconditioning

In certain cases, the carpets may need more attention than a standard clean can provide. We carry the reconditioning supplies for that.

Carpets are susceptible to fading and discoloration due to exposure to sunlight over a long period of time. Restoration is as simple as mixing one of our semi-transparent carpet dye concentrates with water, spraying it on, and brushing it in. 

For carpets with stains that need a nontransparent dye to be covered up, we offer a selection of aerosol carpet dyes. These are designed to treat spots or small areas.

Odor Removal

Even after a full interior detail, an odor can linger, often due to chronic smoking or untreated spills. 

Chlorine dioxide cups make for an easy single-use solution to odor problems. Not requiring electricity to run makes it even more convenient. To use these, simply mix the packets included in the cup, place them in a cup holder or central location inside of the vehicle, and shut all of the doors and windows. 

Ozone generators are a more economical investment for professional detailers who run into bad odors on a frequent basis.
