A Blue Jeep Interior, Before and After in Five Spots
Smudges on the screen, crumbs on the back seat, and grime in both cupholders: this blue Jeep had several spots worth a closer look. Here are five of them, from the driver's footwell to the cargo floor, photographed before and after an interior detail at 5Boro Auto Detailing.
With the mats pulled out, crumbs and colorful bits were scattered across the rear carpet and onto the seat cushion:
One note before the photos. The before photos were taken at the shop in daylight, and the after photos were taken later under our shop lights. The light is different, so compare the dirt, not the shine.
We will walk through the cabin from front to back.
Driver Footwell: Gray Dirt on the Mat and Door Sill
Driver footwell, before and after.
In the before photo, a gray layer of dirt covers the driver's mat, and dusty marks show on the door sill. In the after photo, the mat is clean and black, and the sill is clear.
Steering Wheel and Dash: Dust on the Screen
Steering wheel and dash, before and after.
Dust on a dash is easy to stop seeing until the sun hits it. In the before photo, dust sits on the dash and there are specks and smudges across the touchscreen. In the after photo, the dash is clean and the screen is clear. The finish looks different under shop lights, so look at the dust, not the reflections.
Console and Cupholders: Grime Around the Shifter and Cupholders
Console and cupholders, before and after.
In the before photo, there is grime in both cupholders and around the shifter. The after photo was taken from the opposite end of the car. Both cupholders are clean and empty, and the area around the shifter is tidy.
Rear Bench: Dust and Light Debris
Rear bench, before and after.
The before photo shows dusty patches and light debris on the black leather. The after photo shows clean cushions and seatbacks.
Cargo Floor: Dust on the Carpet and Trim
Cargo floor, before and after.
The before photo shows dust and debris specks on the cargo carpet and on the plastic trim around the storage tray. In the after photo, the carpet and trim are clean.
What This Means for Your Car
None of these five spots was dramatic on its own. The photos show dirt and debris in five separate areas of this Jeep's interior, and in the after photos you see clean mats, a clear screen, clean cupholders, and clean rear seating and cargo areas. Here is a quick way to check your own car:
Look at the driver's mat and door sill.
Check the screen and dash in daylight.
Look into the bottom of each cupholder and around the shifter.
Check the back seat cushions and seatbacks for dust and crumbs.
Check the cargo carpet and plastic trim for dust and debris.
If you find dirt in more than one or two of these places, that is what interior detailing is for. For another before-and-after story, see our BMW interior case study.
FAQ
My interior is just dusty with a few crumbs. Is that worth a full interior detail?
It depends on what is in the car. If it is a few loose crumbs, a vacuum may be enough. If dust, crumbs, mat dirt, and cupholder grime show up all through the cabin, like in this Jeep, an interior detail is the better fit. We are happy to look first and tell you which one makes sense.
How should I compare photos taken in different lighting?
Look for visible dirt and debris in the before photos and compare those areas in the after photos. Differences in brightness or reflections do not show a cleaning result.
