Some stubborn stains may prevent us from restoring your interior back to its original condition. The fabric in headliners are delicate so we can only spot treat it. Any aggressive cleaning may cause it to sag and detach from the roof. We will clean your cabin carefully, taking into consideration the age or the condition of areas and try to clean it as best as possible without causing any damage.

Restorative Interior Cleaning FAQs
This Honda Fit restorative project had pet hair mixed with with dirt and splatter cosmetics. So, we restored the upholstery to a like new appearance.
How long does this service take to complete?
It all depends on the condition of the interior. Usually, it takes 4 to 8 hours which is why we request that you leave your vehicle at the shop. Extreme cases can put up a fight, we'll let you know if more time is needed.
​
Will my seats and carpet be soaked in chemicals and water?
No! Our machines are designed to insert water and chemicals, cycle them through your upholstery and vacuum it out in a few passes. Also, we allow the seats and upholstery to recover before returning your vehicle back to you. We know when to tap out on a stubborn stain.
​
Will this remove the odor out of my interior?
It most cases the odor will be eliminated or greatly reduced. It just depends on the source of the odor and how long it permeated your interior. Time and exposure is an odor's best ally, so the quicker we can address the problem the better chance we have of eliminating the odor. Note: we advise you to change your cabin air filters immediately after a restorative cleaning.
​
Can you remove stains completely?
It really depends on the type of stain, where the stain is located, and most importantly, how long the stain been in embedded in the material. We'll do our best with our cleaners and equipment but we will definitely inform you if we cannot fully remove a stain. Due to time and what type of stain it is (dye, Clorox, kool aid, cosmetics, aggressive chemicals spills, old water spot damage) we will attempt it once and if we don't notice any reasonable change then we will leave the stain in order to prevent any further damage in our cleaning process.
​
Will my head liner be cleaned as well?
No. Unfortunately, some head liners are attached by adhesion. Which means even if we attempt the lightest form of cleaning stains it might tend to snag or permanently detach from the roof. So, we'd rather error on the side of caution rather than taking the chance of causing a serious problem with driving and safety.
​
Will you remove trash from the inside of the vehicle?
Yes, but its a $25 initial charge for trash removal and $25 an hour if it exceeds the 1st hour. We'd prefer an empty vehicle so we can begin detailing immediately. More importantly even though we wear protective gear, we're trying to preserve our health and safety.
​
Is a deposit required?
Yes, since this restorative cleaning takes 48 to 72 hours in order to complete a 25% deposit is required. We are reserving a shop space along with our team in order to give our full attention to your vehicle. Yes, you may reschedule and your deposit will go towards the full payment upon completion and your satisfaction.
​
Lastly and most importantly once we restore your vehicles interior be sure to schedule a Premiere Detail with us about a month after this service.
That way we can keep your vehicle fresh and clean!
