My car is in desperate need of cleaning this weekend. I’ve gone a good three or four months without giving it a good cleaning, and I’ve never given it a complete and thorough cleaning in the two years that I’ve owned it.

It’s been a long time coming.

What the car needs the most is probably more than I can give it. I have a few stains on the seats from greasy fast food that I’m really hoping to get out with a little elbow grease and a lot of cleaner. The seats are also in need of a good vacuuming, and the console needs some spit shining.

All in all, I figure the project will take me the better part of two hours. The inside is pretty gross.

Do you clean your car often? How long have you gone between cleanings? Any suggestions on products that could help my efforts?
