    FJ Cruiser interior

    I have never done an interior on an FJ before. Any suggestions for the floor other than APC? I dont want to make it greasy, just clean..Didn't know if there's anything out there specific for it. Thanks

    I don't have much advise on the floors but aren't those interiors waterproof? Just grab the pressure washer and go to town!

    I've done 3 and the seats are a tight weave material...but not water proof. Any type of dust in them seems to be locked in really tight. I would suggest some Folex and scrub then just some water in the extraction phase. Worked for me. As for the floors I've just used APC and it turned out great....you will need to vacuum first and I recommend the brush attachment.

    thanks a lot..folex and extraction I can do...I knocked a few bucks off the interior price cause of the no carpet was hoping it would not backfire on me

    Re: FJ Cruiser interior

    this depends. I cleaned an FJ that took me a day, and it still wasn't done. There was mould growing in the cup holders. had to remove the whole center console to clean it. They had so much dirt and #### on the floor. Now with that being said. they are easy to clean i find... polishing on the other hand not so much

    Paint wasn't a hard paint. But there were alot of awkward angles i found. Along with trying to get under the roof rack

    I've done lots of them just steam the floor. The seats I just use folex and steam no need to extract unless there really bad.
