How to Deep Clean and Detail the Interior of a Cybertruck

The Cybertruck is an impressive vehicle, but like any daily driver, it can accumulate dirt, snacks, pet hair, and general mess over time. In this guide, we’ll take you through a complete step-by-step process to deep clean and detail your Cybertruck’s interior, ensuring it looks as good as new.

Step 1: Assess the Damage

Before diving in, take a moment to evaluate the mess. Check the front seats, mats, console, back seats, and any additional storage areas. Look out for:

  • Dirt and dust accumulation
  • Water spots and stains
  • Pet hair (if applicable)
  • Random items like books, snacks, and tools
  • Trash that needs to be removed

Once you have an idea of what needs attention, gather your cleaning supplies.

Step 2: Gather Your Cleaning Supplies

  • Microfiber cloths (300 GSM recommended)
  • Interior cleaner (all-purpose, safe for vegan leather and plastic)
  • Small detailing boars hair brush
  • Air compressor or Vortex tool (optional, for crevices)
  • Vacuum cleaner (preferably with an attachment for tight spaces)
  • Rubber gloves (great for pet hair removal as demonstrated in the video above)
  • Drill brush (for stubborn stains)
  • Glass cleaner (ammonia-free, for screens and windows)

Step 3: Remove Trash and Loose Items

Before starting the deep cleaning, remove all trash, loose items, and anything stored in compartments. If you have children, you may find small toys, snack wrappers, or even sunglasses tucked away in crevices. Remove floor mats and interior liners as well.

Step 4: Clean the Dashboard and Door Panels

What to Do:

  1. Use a microfiber cloth and interior cleaner to wipe down the dashboard.
  2. For crevices, use an air compressor or detailing brush.
  3. Wipe down door panels with a microfiber cloth, being cautious around speakers.
  4. If there are tough stains, spray a bit of cleaner, let it sit, and wipe again.

Step 5: Vacuum the Floors and Seats

What to Do:

  1. Remove floor mats for separate cleaning (covered in a later step).
  2. Use a vacuum with an attachment to get into tight spots.
  3. Pay extra attention to seat seams and floor crevices.
  4. If pet hair is embedded, use rubber gloves to loosen it before vacuuming.

Step 6: Deep Clean the Seats

The Cybertruck has ventilated vegan leather seats, so avoid soaking them with excessive cleaner.

What to Do:

  1. Lightly spray interior cleaner onto a microfiber cloth and wipe the seats.
  2. Use a soft brush to agitate any stubborn dirt.
  3. Wipe away excess cleaner with a dry microfiber cloth.
  4. Use an air compressor or detailing brush to clean crevices.
  5. If you see particles embedded in the ventilation holes, use a pick tool or toothpick to remove and vacuum up.

Step 7: Detail the Center Console and Storage Areas

What to Do:

  1. Remove any items stored inside the console.
  2. Wipe down the surfaces with a microfiber cloth and cleaner.
  3. If needed, take out removable parts and wash them separately.
  4. Vacuum crumbs and dirt from cup holders and storage compartments.
  5. Organize and place necessary items back inside.

Step 8: Clean the Steering Wheel and Controls

What to Do:

  1. Lightly spray cleaner onto a microfiber cloth and wipe down the steering wheel.
  2. Clean buttons and controls carefully to avoid moisture damage.
  3. Wipe down the gear selector and surrounding controls.

Step 9: Clean the Screens and Glass

The Cybertruck’s large display screen needs special care.

What to Do:

  1. Use an ammonia-free glass cleaner.
  2. Lightly spray onto a microfiber cloth (never directly onto the screen).
  3. Wipe gently in circular motions.
  4. Don’t forget the rearview mirror and window glass.

Step 10: Clean the Rear Seats

If you have kids or pets, the back seats likely need extra attention.

What to Do:

  1. Remove the car seat (if applicable) and vacuum underneath.
  2. Use a drill brush for stubborn stains on the seats.
  3. Wipe down the seatbacks where kids often kick.
  4. Clean the seatbelt areas and buckles.

Step 11: Remove Pet Hair (If Applicable)

Pet hair can be difficult to remove from vehicle interiors with carpet, but this trick works wonders:

What to Do:

  1. Wear rubber gloves and rub them over the seats and carpets.
  2. The static will pull pet hair into clumps.
  3. Vacuum up the collected hair.
  4. Use an air compressor for any stubborn areas.

Step 12: Clean the Floor Mats

Weather mats in the Cybertruck are designed for easy cleaning.

What to Do:

  1. Remove the mats from the truck.
  2. Spray them with water and apply interior cleaner.
  3. Use a drill brush to foam up the cleaner and scrub dirt from grooves.
  4. Rinse thoroughly with a water hose or pressure washer and let them dry before reinstalling.

Step 13: Final Touches and Reassembly

Now that everything is clean, put everything back in place:

What to Do:

  1. Reinstall floor mats.
  2. Return child seats and storage items.
  3. Ensure all compartments are organized.
  4. Take a final look and touch up any missed spots.
