Car Detailing for Honda CR-V

Detailing your Honda CR-V

Nearly every street in Markham and Vaughan has a CR-V on it, and most of them carry a dog, a hockey bag or a toddler, sometimes all in one trip. The light grey interiors Honda sold for years show every scuff, so the seats and door panels get a proper clean rather than a wipe-down. In the cargo area we lift the floor panel and brush out the hair and grit, and outside we restore the cladding and chrome strips that salt turns dull.

What we watch for on a CR-V

• Light grey leather and cloth on earlier cars show dirt and denim dye on the bolsters and need regular cleaning
• Dog hair collects in the cargo carpet and the rear seat bight and comes out with a rubber brush and extractor
• The lower black cladding and chrome trim strips hold salt film and need separate cleaning before dressing
• Rear seats fold from levers in the cargo area and the hinges and gaps hide crumbs
• Hybrid cars have the battery under the cargo floor, so we keep water away from that area during extraction

Compact SUVs: cargo areas that do everything

Compact crossovers are family cars, gear haulers and dog taxis in one. The cargo floor, the rear seatbacks and the door sills collect the most dirt, while taller bodies catch more road spray along the sides.
