Car Detailing for Kia Telluride

Detailing your Kia Telluride

The Telluride is the three-row people wait for, and the SX Limited's Butterscotch leather and suede headliner are the reason it gets detailed carefully rather than quickly: nothing gets sprayed near that headliner, and the light leather gets a dedicated cleaner for the jean dye. Families fill the captain's-chair gap and the third row with snacks, which we extract. The X-Pro's all-terrain tires fling cottage mud onto the doors, and the big flat roof gets polished before sealing.

What we watch for on a Telluride

• The microsuede headliner on top trims is brushed dry and never sprayed
• Butterscotch and Dune Brown Nappa leather show denim dye and need a proper leather cleaner
• X-Pro trims wear all-terrain tires that fling mud onto the lower doors and into the arches
• The huge flat roof and liftgate show swirls in sunlight; a polish before sealing is worthwhile
• The 20-inch wheels have deep barrels that hold brake dust and need a long brush

Midsize SUVs: three rows of places to hide crumbs

With a third row, a big cargo area and plenty of child-seat anchors, midsize SUVs hide a lot of mess. We work through each row and each seat track so nothing is left behind.
