A pre-diluted all-purpose cleaner, which is safe to use on all car interior surfaces


Total is a ready to use car interior cleaner which is safe to use on all interior car surfaces. Whether you are cleaning plastic, vinyl rubber, cloth, or carpet, Total's sophisticated low-foaming surfactants will not disappoint. From modern "soft-touch' plastics, to badly stained carpets, or even neglected vintage vinyl, Total is up to the task.

Total's gentle nature makes it well suited for sensitive cleaning operations, but it's also capable of tackling a wide variety of tough stains


Total is a deep cleaning solution packed full of optical brighteners and conditioners, it's gentle enough to clean sensitive areas and fabrics such as headliners and Alcantara but tough enough to tackle muddy pedal boxes and heavily soiled carpets. Contains a fragrance enhancer that not only breaks down and eradicated the source of odour but leaves a lingering fresh fragrance in the cabin too. Total is definitely a product every detailer needs in their detailing product armoury.

Dashboards are the interior 'showpiece', the bit you're looking at when driving your car


Some vehicles are more utilitarian with harder wearing plastics, but even these will be far more sensitive than those used in many home furnishings. This means that you need to use cleaning products specifically formulated for cars, so as not to mark or strip the finish. This is where a safe-for-all-surfaces, all-purpose interior cleaner like Total really comes into its own, both for "spray on and wipe' application, or when agitated with an Interior Detailing Brush for hardier deep cleaning.

Footwells, kickplates, and even the pedals, will often be made of the hardiest materials of all


These see a great deal of abrasion over the life of the car, but that doesn't mean that they can't be effectively detailed. Using Total can be useful for chemically removing the most ground in dirt.

Auto Finesse Total is a ready to use car interior cleaner which is safe to use on all interior car surfaces. Whether you are cleaning plastic, vinyl rubber, cloth, or carpet, Total’s sophisticated low-foaming surfactants will not disappoint.

From modern ‘soft-touch’ plastics, to badly stained carpets, or even neglected vintage vinyl, Total is up to the task.

Auto Finesse Total’s gentle nature makes it well suited for sensitive car detailing and cleaning operations, but is also capable of tackling a wide variety of tough organic, and inorganic based stains. Oil, grease, food, coffee, mildew, grass, mud, sun-tan lotion and silicone-based dressings can all be removed with ease.

Application:

Vinyl, Plastic and Rubber:

For light soiling, spray Total directly onto a general purpose microfibre towel and wipe onto surface. Switch to a dry general purpose microfibre towel and buff off any residues, revealing a perfectly clean finish. If heavier soiling is present, spray Total directly onto the surface to be cleaned, allow dwelling momentarily, and agitate with a soft, short-bristle brush. You can then use a general purpose microfibre towel to soak up the remaining product and grime. Regularly re-fold, and periodically change your microfibre towels during the interior cleaning process.

Spot removal on textiles:

For quickly removing stains and spills on fabric and carpeted surfaces, spray Total directly onto the spot until saturated and allow to dwell for 1-2 minutes. If necessary, work the product into the surface with a soft, short-bristle brush to help break down the stain. Once lifted, you can blot the surface with a dry, general purpose microfibre towel to soak up the remaining product. If the stain remains, repeat the process.

Textile Shampooing:

To deep clean fabric and carpets, begin by dry vacuuming the material to remove any loose dirt. Liberally spray Total directly onto the area, until the surface is damp with product. Allow the product to dwell for 1-2 minutes. Wet a soft, short-bristle brush in a bucket of water and agitate the area. You can then rinse the material with clear water and use a wet/dry vacuum or carpet extractor to remove the excess product. Repeat the process until the extracted rinse water stays clear.
