What you’ll need
Sticky Icky Cleaning Gel
Your car’s dashboard and center console have plenty of tiny crevices and tight spots that trap dirt, dust, and crumbs. A brush or a damp cloth might swipe some of that crud away, but these techniques can’t cut it when you’re cleaning out a deep cup holder. This is where the newly released Sticky Icky - opens in new window or tab. cleaning gel works wonders. The gel has a tacky surface that grabs dust, dirt, and grime—and it can squeeze into hard-to-reach places.
Sticky Icky competes with Ticarve cleaning gel - opens in new window or tab.. Both products are perfect for cleaning the dust off the tiny slats on your air conditioning vents or removing dirt from the crevices on your steering wheel. You can also break off a piece for smaller areas, like the tiny buttons on your car’s radio. Despite its name, Sticky Icky won’t leave any residue behind. Once you get your hands on it, you’ll never let go.
Mat ReNew
Heavy-duty all-weather floor mats keep dirt, mud, and spills from penetrating your car’s carpet. They can easily be removed for a wipe down or hosed off after heavy use, but over time, these mats can start to look tired. Chemical Guys Mat ReNew - opens in new window or tab. is a spray-on cleaner that lifts off deep, ground-in grime without discoloring your rubber floor mats.
Unlike shiny detailing sprays, Mat ReNew doesn’t contain silicone, which can make rubber mats dangerously slippery. Conditioning agents restore flexibility to your mats, and UV blockers help prevent fading. And it’s not just for floor mats: Mat ReNew also works on rubber-coated running boards, vinyl floors, or even rubber truck bedliners. While Weathertech's Floor Mat Cleaner Kit - opens in new window or tab. is more pricey than Mat ReNew, the kit is a two-step product designed to add a protective coat. (It's also available without the finishing spray).
Lightning Fast Stain Extractor
Sometimes, you can’t wipe up a stain on a car’s fabric upholstery or carpet in time, and it becomes a hard-to-remove distraction. All-purpose cleaners just don’t have the power to remove a stubborn, set-in stain. Chemical Guys Lightning Fast Stain Extractor - opens in new window or tab. sprays on and penetrates deep to dissolve the stain and lift it out. Spray it on and wipe it off, or agitate it with a soft-bristle brush for deeper stains. If your carpets are stained with salt, check out Oxi Clean's Salt Eraser - opens in new window or tab..
