Car Detailing for Toyota C-HR

Detailing your Toyota C-HR

The C-HR's coupe styling hides its rear door handles up in the C-pillar, and that little pocket fills with grime that most car washes never touch. Its tiny rear side windows and steep back glass mean the view out is poor to begin with, so we make a point of getting the inside of every pane spotless. Many C-HRs came with a contrasting black roof that shows swirls badly; a light polish and a sealant keep both colours looking sharp.

What we watch for on a C-HR

• Rear door handles are hidden high in the C-pillar and that pocket fills with grime most washes never reach
• Tiny rear side windows and steep rear glass make visibility poor, so we make the interior glass spotless
• Many were sold with a contrasting black roof that shows swirls badly next to the lighter body colour
• The diamond-textured door panels and headliner trap dust and need a soft brush rather than a wipe
• No AWD and low ground clearance mean the lower bumpers scrape and collect salt film at the edges

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.
