Hai,

Remove the floor mats. Vacuum the seats, and the carpet. Using the proper attachment, reach under the seats, around the pedals and the area between front seats and central console. Vacuum floor mats separately.

Use soft brush attachment to vacuum the dashboard and doors. Be careful not to damage knobs vents and sticking parts. Use the same attachment vacuuming the seats. Leather seats are very easy to damage, be careful no to scratch them with the vacuum hose.

There are number of upholstery cleaning agents available. Here I used a spray cleaner from Turtle Wax. Simply spray evenly on the seat or door upholstery and rub vigorously. Then, wipe it thoroughly with a dry cloth.
If you don't have an upholstery cleaner, simple laundry detergent will work as well. Just mix some detergent with warm water, dip a clean cloth into it, wring out good and then just wipe the seat. Work harder on dirty areas. Then, rub dry with a clean, soft cloth.
Don't soak the seat with water, it will cause stains on the seat and mould smell.

Clean a dashboard, central console, and other plastic parts with a slightly damp cloth. Use very small amount of laundry detergent to remove the stains. Dry with a clean soft dry cloth. To make it shiny, spray plastic polish (I used STP here) and spread it evenly with soft brush. Don't spray directly on the stereo, use brush instead.

Dry-polish gently with clean soft dry cloth. Polish not only makes the dashboard shiny, it protects the plastic. All you need to do after, is just use a soft duster periodically and your dashboard will look like new for a long time.
