Deep Interior Detailing: Protecting Your Leather, Upholstery, and Health

We often focus on the exterior of our vehicles—the shine of the paint and the reflection of the wheels. Yet, as a driver, you spend 100% of your time inside the cabin. In Houston's humid climate, your vehicle's interior can quickly become a breeding ground for bacteria, mold, and odors if not properly maintained.

At Major Detailz, we believe interior detailing is about more than just vacuuming crumbs. It is a comprehensive restoration process designed to sanitize surfaces, preserve delicate materials, and create a healthy environment for you and your passengers.

The Difference Between a "Car Wash" and a Detail

A standard car wash typically involves a quick vacuum and a wipe-down with greasy, silicone-based dressings that attract dust. Our approach is fundamentally different. We use steam cleaning and hot water extraction to lift deep-seated dirt, spills, and allergens from the fibers of your carpets and upholstery.

Preserving Your Leather Interiors

Modern luxury vehicles whether a Tesla, BMW, or Porsche feature high-end leather that requires specific care. Leather is effectively a skin; without proper maintenance, it dries out, cracks, and fades under UV exposure.

Our two-step leather care process ensures longevity:

  • Deep Cleaning: We use pH-neutral cleaners and specialized horsehair brushes to gently agitate the pores of the leather, removing body oils and dye transfer (like from blue jeans) without damaging the finish.
  • Conditioning & Protection: Once clean, we apply a premium conditioner that restores softness and adds a layer of UV protection. This leaves a matte, natural finish never greasy or shiny.

Sanitization and Odor Removal

Masking odors with cheap air fresheners does not solve the problem. True detailing eliminates the source. We utilize professional-grade steam cleaning to kill bacteria on contact. This is particularly vital for:

  • High-Touch Areas: Steering wheels, shifters, and door handles are often dirtier than public surfaces. We sanitize these thoroughly.
  • Vents and AC Systems: Steam helps dislodge dust and mold spores trapped in your ventilation system, improving air quality.
  • Pet Hair Removal: We use specialized tools to extract stubborn pet hair that weaves into the carpet fibers, removing the allergens that come with it.

The "Reset" Button for Your Car

There is a distinct feeling of peace that comes with driving a truly clean car. No clutter, no dust, no mysterious odors—just the smell of clean materials and the feeling of a new car.

Whether you are looking to sell your vehicle or simply want to enjoy your daily commute again, our interior detailing service hits the reset button.
