For So that the steel horse is faster, it is necessary that cleaning takes place on a sunny day. If it is a garage room, it should be well ventilated. After preparation is made, you can proceed to detail.
Ceiling
The detergent is immediately applied to the entire ceiling surface: it makes no sense to spray chemistry point. When choosing a car chemistry, you must pay attention to the means that form a foam structure. After applying, the tool must be left for a few minutes. It is not recommended to rub it. After the time expires, the remnants are easy to remove the rag. Make it is quite easy: dirt is removed with light movements, the rag is periodically rinsed.
Attention! Do not try to impregnate the ceiling of chemistry through. After wetting it may turn it or will turn off.
Seat
The second stage, the most complicated - dry cleaning of car seats. You should not immediately take chemistry in the hands, you must first get rid of the garbage, which accumulates between the armrest and the seat. To do this, you can use a small brush, painting brush or toothbrush. Great help will be provided by the household vacuum cleaner. More often car devices have small power. The complexity is that different sources need to be cleaned using various means. You can choose them according to the attached instructions.
