Interior Car Detailing: How to Protect Leather & Fabrics from Heat

In closed vehicles parked under the Gauteng sun, interior temperatures can climb past 60°C. This extreme heat dries out leather upholstery and causes dashboard vinyl to fade and crack over time.

Professional Interior Cleaning Checklist

  • **Steam Cleaning & Extraction**: Removes deep-seated dust and allergens from carpets and seat fabric.
  • **Leather Conditioning**: Restores essential oils to hide hides and prevent premature splitting.
  • **UV Dashboard Shield**: Non-greasy protectant that absorbs ultraviolet radiation.
  • **Ozone Deodorization**: Neutralizes bacteria and stale air conditioning odors.
