How I did it: I put aside a couple hours when the weather was cool and sunny. I first washed the outside with soap, and did the outside of the windows with some windex and an old cloth. Then I threw out all the trash that was in my car and detailed the insides & inside windows with more windex and a fresh cloth. I hauled the vacuum out, and did the trunk and all the floors. Finally I Frebreezed the seats and cleaned anything that I may have missed. For the finishing touch, I bought new floormats and a strawberry air freshener. My car is finally clean and smells great!

Lessons & tips: You don't even have to set aside a whole day, this only takes maybe 1-3 hours, so it can be accomplished with only a little bit of time. Make sure you have all the materials (cleaning spray, vacuum, paper towels or rags) before you get started. Start from the outside first and work your way in. Also a good idea is to use a vacuum with a small head so you can get in between all the little spaces.

Resources: Windex, vacuum, old rags, paper towels
