Car Detailing for Toyota RAV4

Detailing your Toyota RAV4

If you own a RAV4 in Mississauga or Vaughan, you probably also own rubber floor liners, a dog, or a set of car seats, and often all three. The liners trap salty water underneath, so we pull them and dry the carpet properly. Dog hair in the cargo area comes out with a rubber brush and the extractor, and the black wheel-arch cladding gets a trim restorer so it stops looking grey. A sealant or ceramic coating keeps the paint easy to rinse between visits.

What we watch for on a RAV4

• Rubber all-weather floor liners are fitted to most of these and trap salty water underneath; we pull them and dry the carpet properly
• Dog hair in the cargo area and on the rear seats comes out with a rubber pet brush before extraction
• The black wheel-arch cladding fades to grey and responds to a trim restorer rather than a dressing
• Light Nutmeg SofTex shows denim transfer on the driver's seat and cleans with a mild all-purpose cleaner
• The hybrid battery sits under the rear seat, so we steam and extract that area without flooding it

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.
