When cleaning the inside of your car, do not forget to clean the door panels, which helps give your car an extra sparkle. Cleaning a door panel is a multi-step process, including vacuuming up any dirt or debris, wiping down the various surfaces with an appropriate cleaner, detailing the panel, and polishing the door panel to make it shine. By following some simple steps, you can have your car door panels looking great in no time.
第1部分，共3部分：真空门面板
Materials Needed
- 压缩的空气
- 真空吸尘器（或购物真空）
- Vacuum crevice tool attachment (to get into the crevices of the door)
吸尘门板有助于清除大部分松散的污垢，从而使清洁过程更加容易。使用家庭或商店真空吸尘器，请确保在需要时使用压缩空气进入门面板的所有角落和缝隙。
步骤1：真空散开灰尘。首先，用真空使门面板的所有表面都很好地结束，从而清除了任何松散的污垢或碎屑。
- 通过现在卸下污垢和碎屑，您可以在以后将门面板擦拭时防止涂抹。
步骤2：使用缝隙工具。使用缝隙工具（包括存储袋）进入门面板的角落和缝隙。
- Some vacuums, such as a shop vacuum, come with a crevice tool already attached to the hose.
Step 3: Use compressed air。如果您遇到裂缝的问题，请使用压缩空气将其喷入紧密的区域并将污垢吹出。然后使用真空清洁。
Part 2 of 3: Clean and detail the door panels
Materials Needed
- 皮革清洁剂（用于皮革表面）
- 超细纤维布
- Soft-bristled brush
- 乙烯基清洁剂
吸尘后，擦拭门面板的表面有助于清理污垢和碎屑。确保使用与您计划清洁的表面兼容的清洁溶液，包括用于皮革表面的皮革清洁剂和其他类型的乙烯基清洁剂。
- Warning：对材料的一小部分进行颜色测试，以确保您打算使用的清洁剂可以安全地用于门材料。另外，避免在乙烯基或塑料表面上使用常规的家用肥皂，因为它可以去除材料的光泽。
步骤1：清洁表面。通过将合适的清洁剂涂在干净的超细纤维布上并将面板向下擦拭，清洁门面板的塑料，乙烯基或皮革表面。
- The surface of the microfiber cloth should draw the dirt away from the surface of the door panel.
步骤2：清洁口袋。清洁任何存储口袋，因为这些区域似乎收集了很多污垢和碎屑。
Make sure to clean around the speaker grilles and arm rests, and get around the door frame and the door sill, located at the bottom of the door panel.
If needed, use a soft-bristled brush to remove scuff marks and other hard-to-remove stains.
步骤3：干燥面板: After cleaning all of the surfaces, dry the door panel using a clean microfiber cloth.
- In addition to drying with a microfiber cloth, allow the door panel surfaces to air dry.
第3部分的第3部分：抛光和保护门板
Materials Needed
门面板很好干净后，是时候治疗乙烯基或皮革表面来保护它们了。确保仅使用与门面板表面兼容的产品，包括在不起眼的位置进行颜色测试以测试颜色牢度。
- 提示：在选择保护乙烯基表面的产品时，请考虑具有良好紫外线保护水平的产品。太阳的光线会伤害您的乙烯基表面，从而使颜色褪色。具有紫外线保护的产品有助于防止这种情况。
步骤1：涂抹敷料: Apply the dressing or conditioner using a microfiber cloth.
- 确保将产品放入所有表面，包括进入角落和缝隙，例如储物袋和手臂静止。
步骤2：擦除任何多余的敷料或护发素。Allow the door panel surfaces to dry completely.
Step 3: Wax the metal parts。Make sure to use car wax on the inside of the metal part of the door panel to prevent oxidation and rust.
- Rub on the wax with a clean microfiber cloth, and allow it to dry before rubbing it to give it a finishing shine.
