In this video I finally clean the interior of my new-to-me 2005 Toyota 4Runner Limited with the 4.7L V8. This vehicle has 236k miles and has been well used. It's very dirty and in this video I show how I can remove most of that grime using very simple tools.
By simply using a quality microfiber towel and a bucket of warm water I can easily clean most of the dirt and debris. For the slightly dirtier areas I use a mild soapy cleaning solution and for the extremely dirty areas I use a handheld steam cleaner.
The handheld steam cleaner turned out to be better than I even thought it was going to be. Very powerful and very good at removing stains (especially in the headliner) using just distilled water.
This 4th Gen 4Runner still has a ways to go but with this cleaning I'm starting to see the potential.

I like using the 1 inch wide foam craft paint brushes for getting inside the air vents and nooks and crannies, I just buy them at Walmart in the craft section, a little elbow grease goes along way, great video Jimmy 😁👍

[@branzfactor81]

Wow! I don’t know why it never occurred to me to just use warm water and a microfiber towel. I’ll do this weekly to keep up with my 4Runner.

What I did to clean the interior of the 2000 Camry LE that my late cousin gave me it was his father's Camry. Unfortunately they were cigar smokers. I bought at Walmart microfiber wash clothes not meant to clean cars with but that's what I bought them for. I had an idea so I bought 2 2 gallon buckets. I filled the 2 buckets with hot water. On the vinyl parts of the Camry I washed the vinyl just from the front sits to the dashboard it turned the water in the buckets coffee brown. After it was cleaned it was like stepping into a new Camry. I do have Meguiar's Ultimate Interior cleaner. I haven't used it yet but plan too. What a difference hot water can make.

[@peterrudy9207]

For that kind of stink , you could use an ozone machine .

[@ED-ti5tc]

You and the wife did a great job! I don't know anything about wraps. Im interested in how the wraps hold up under normal use. Great video!

[@leonardolimon8371]

That steam cleaner from harbor freight works really good.

[@1RoadGarage]

Yes it does! I’m impressed!!

[@RMTCTL]

I'm going to have to get one of those! I've got some carpet stains in a couple of my cars that have frustrated me for years.

[@MotorVelocity]

If you want to keep the OEM look of the interior of the car I would recommend getting a FM transmitter, Cassette to aux for either wire or Bluetooth. I hope this helps!

[@tossedsalad5532]

The steamer does wonders to engine compartment and door jams

[@ftwbreeze]

Hello Jimmy. I enjoy watching your channel, caring/improving on old iron is key. One thing I especially enjoyed today was you and your wife cleaning. It doesn't matter how many times you try and explain how, the wife told you to stay in your own lane, she's got this. The only thing we can do when that happens is smile. It is hard to do but it avoids what could be trouble brewing. In the end it turned out very nice. We have a 4Runner, Toyota did well with them, just like the FJ's. Thank you again for the quality content. I could definitely use that steamer, it worked wonders!

[@BigKkelvin57]

Love this video perfectly shows you how to do stuff the hard way

[@westcoastronnieOC714]

A good method to get rid of dust around buttons is using a air compressor along with a spray gun with a small tip. It blows just enough air to clean around those buttons. Been doing it for years.

[@kmosier22]

Can't wait to see the rest of this series!!

[@autophile-cv621]

WOW! Great job Jimmy.

[@garykirin5150]

I like having the interior of my suburban spotless clean, and also like my glass sparkling. You and the Mrs. Did a great job❤️

[@LucasFilipes]

Excellent video as always. Cleaning a dirty car is satisfying, but cleaning a super dirty car is even better. I can't wait for the next videos. I would like the videos to come out every day, but I know that is impossible. Keep up the good work. God blesses.

[@user-ex2hg5rv6p]

I'm goin through literally exact same thing with this 2001 camry i purchased a couple of months ago, goin through phases as well 😅.

[@watuzi]

Great job Jimmy. Personally, I like using chemicals to clean my car. I have too many not to use them.

[@iceman45ification1]

I was a distributor of car wash and detail products years ago. The best thing they could've invented for the car wash business is the steam cleaner. It makes your life so much easier than using chemicals alone. You and your wife both did a fantastic job cleaning it. Nice work guys!! 💪🔥 Ps- Now you can start on my car. 😜

[@1RoadGarage]

Thanks! Yes, that steamer is great!!

[@westcoastronnieOC714]

I've always found that using 30% vinegar to clean your headliner works every time. A little bit of elbow grease and a soft bristle brush works well. If you have light cleaning you could just use a little bit of vinegar spray it on a microfiber cloth and scrub away any spot dirt. Make sure if you do use it buy a chemical spray bottle and spray your headliner and within a half a day to a day the smell will go away. Leaves your headliner clean and will not damage it. Also good for carpet too. You can buy 30% vinegar in a gallon jug at home Depot or Lowe's. I use it full strength non-diluted.

[@BrandonRG-yv7fj]

I bought one of those machines in my country it s0cks but I found a good use for it, put vinegar and steam down the mattress to kill mites

[@travdripdrip382]

Groits garage interior cleaner. You'll thank me later. All natural, no dyes and safe on everything

[@559LFG_FoodDiscord]

Oh I know the feeling I also get that with ps one analog sticks I use VLR

[@10cpaul]

The purpble Fabuloso diluted and some warm water in a spray bottle works wonders, and cheap! And the smelll is great!

[@chadmasters3935]

I use the LA Awesome concentrate cleaner from Dollar Tree. That stuff works great if you follow the dilution table.

[@gnome-ski]

invest in some detailing brushes, theyre worth it. i use griots interior cleaner and some brushes and microfiber clothes. not to expensive

[@limited50scla]

Try Chemical Guys Lighting Fast Stain Extractor. It works magic, you can dilute it, I use it for the seat belts

[@asadb1990]

After all of the interior is clean you can use something like mother's plastic protectant spray and it will rejuvinate and restore dried out plastic and rubber.

[@freakfiveoh]

I've been looking for a way to clean my Raptor's steering wheel. Mine is in pretty good shape for a 10 year old wheel, but it's definitely got a hard shine all over it.

[@ChevyCitation]

Thought the title would say Here's why you NEVER CLEAN the previous owners Grime off a 4Runner

[@iVroomify]

400 views?!? I guess I’m one of the few who is majorly hyped about the Toyota take over across different non Toyota channels

[@minusGravity44]

Will you do the electric fan conversion on the 4Runner as well?

[@1RoadGarage]

Is that a normal thing?

[@RockymountainRobert]

Chris fix knock your lights out😅

[@rickfm4109]

What is the purpose of not using a mild detergent to assist cleaning? You can work hard or you can work smart!

[@dclawnmaintenanceandsnowre4099]

The one thing that has me concerned is the Dash cover will that work for the airbag on the passenger side

[@1RoadGarage]

There’s a US based company called Coverlay that makes a very factory looking ABS plastic cover WITH a cutout for the airbag. I may go that route.

[@Hellcat71782]

This guy talks to the camera like we’re 4 year olds

[@user-if8qq7xv2d]

Yes, he does.

[@asadb1990]

Previous owner seriously trashed the car lol

[@aquarian311]

shes so pretty

[@BennyHubba]

Try baby powder on the sticky!

[@johnwagner4559]

You need to get some detail brushes.

[@georgebaloian8272]

Not too long ago I bought a vehicle from people that were pigs when it came to cleanliness of the vehicle. I swear if it’s the deal of a lifetime I’ll never do it again. Godspeed with getting that nastiness and stench out of that car!

[@MegaEnzo07]

Why not use a vacuum?

[@dltafrc17]

Dang i never noticed how the cupholders have that like granite look to them. Looks good!! Excellent work!!!

[@kc0lif]

2 suburbans & 4runner.

[@walterphillips9950]

Replace that factory radio. Not worth the time and effort to clean it
