• Car interior protection is a cost-effective investment for long-term protection & peace of mind
• The right protection products reduce wear and tear and fading of leather, fabric, wood, and plastic – not just upholstery
• Modern interior protection products also have hydrophobic and anti-bacterial properties
• Adding quality interior protection helps maintain the resale value and that new-car smell

We love our car exteriors but we actually spend virtually all of our time inside them. Small wonder that the demand for effective interior protection has taken off.

In this article, we examine what car protection is, whether it is a cost-effective investment, and how you can get the most interior protection professionally installed in your vehicle.

Interior product products have come a long way from chemical cleaners and plastic wraps. Modern protectants have formulas that permanently adhere and bond to all interior components including leather, vinyl, plastic, and fabric.

They are typically sprayed on – forming a thin barrier between the surface and potential spills and dirt. This barrier makes the surface hydrophobic so drink spillages and other liquids merely bead on the surface, meaning they are not absorbed and can be easily wiped away.

The most advanced are odour-free and contain UV-inhibitors stopping potential fade and discolouration. These may also include next-generation antibacterial properties for the ultimate in cleanliness.

Adding Interior protection to your car has 6 Key benefits, including:

1. Protect your upholstery
2. Protect interior wood, plastic, leather, and fabric surfaces
3. Reduce long-term wear and tear
4. Maintain lasting cleanliness
5. Maintain resale value
6. Guilt-free motoring

The main reason for adding car interior protection is to protect your upholstery. Your car’s upholstery is prone to damage by stains, wear and tear, and UV rays. And who hasn’t spilled a drink or dropped food in the car? Or transferred dust, dirt and grime on the seat of their pants.

Fading is also a problem. If your car’s windows aren’t tinted, your upholstery is likely to fade faster, especially in summer when ultraviolet rays from the sun are strong. 

Protected upholstery not only lasts longer and looks better, but it is immensely cheaper than purchasing new leather or fabric coverings that have been irrevocably stained.

Your car’s interior has multiple components with wood, plastic, leather, and fabric surfaces – all of which are prone to fading and the accumulation of environmental grime.

In particular, sweat, sunblock, and makeup cause these surfaces to react in different ways. So, for example, something that can damage wood may not necessarily damage the plastic. Only carefully applied quality protectants can adequately maintain all the materials in the interior of your car. 

Unprotected surfaces wear out faster than protected ones.

UV rays and the accumulation of dirt, dust, stains, water, and other debris accelerate the rate at which the interior finishes and fabrics wear out.  Normal passenger and driver movement inside the car effectively drive these contaminants further into the materials – staining them while friction damages the surfaces.

Replacement with genuine parts can be expensive – so it is vital that you maintain them. Adding an interior protectant not only reduces wear and tear but it lowers your car’s repair costs in the long run.

Quality car interior protection makes cleaning your car – and keeping it clean – easy. The co-polymer barrier means a quick wipe is usually sufficient to remove dirt, debris and other contaminants with ease. No more muttering something about “kids” under your breath when your mate places their hand on a sticky patch! 

This not only increases the lifespan of your components but it also keeps allergens at bay. If you find yourself tearing up or sneezing whenever you enter your car, the interior has likely accumulated a significant amount of dust, dirt, and other allergens – all of which a simple wipe or light vacuum can remove.

Finally, a well-protected car interior is much more attractive than a worn and faded one.

This is an important consideration if you may sell your car in the future, and is particularly relevant for a newly-bought car – as any damage or stains will be much more apparent.

The main components surrounding the driver’s seat are especially obvious. Potential car buyers will sit in the driver’s seat and further examine the interior – especially the dash, console, and components immediately in front of the driver.

Essentially, a car that’s well maintained will attract a higher resale value than one that’s been ignored. A car with well-maintained interiors gives the buyer confidence that it has been well cared for in every area and is worth the investment. 

No more embarrassment!  No more muttered excuses for why your car’s interior is stained, faded and worn. With the right interior protection products, a quick wipe and rubbish disposal is enough to make your car interior respectable enough for the most critical passenger.

Yes, it is certainly possible to add interior protection yourself using consumer products.

However, long-lasting protection requires proper surface preparation, tools, and an appropriate clean space so that other contaminants do not enter the vehicle as you apply it.

and technique to achieve the best results. It is important to follow the instructions carefully and take the time to prepare the surface properly.
