NEVER USE ARMOR ALL. ever. this stuff is a joke. I detail cars and was trained and learned alot from a pro. Only thing I don;t know who to do is wet sand.

carpets: vac all dirt up, beat floors with a mallet ( unless you have a steam cleaner) till dirt stops coming up. ( repeat if needed)

stain removers. ( pre spray the rugs with castrol super clean) MIST.
take bucket mix a good dose of castrol super clean and your typical laundry detergent, then throw in your on car scent. Mix with warm water
for interiors ( and many other area's) use castrol super clean. make foam as well with this.

Get a scrub brush and a mit ( car wash mit)
soak mit and place on carpet and scrub (use brush to scrub carpet as well)

Vac all water and suds up. Do entire car. ( you may find some stains may resurface. this is normal. get them again at a later time. ( scrub carpets with an old towel to surface dry and lift any other dirt in fibers.

( once interior is done) crack your two front windows about 2inchs. BLAST THE HEAT RIGHT TO THE FLOORS TILL DRY. don't close windows if you do, you will steam them up.

DASH, DOORS ETC:

take a spray bottle, mix about an inch of cleaner and the rest water ( depending on how dirty your dash, doors, etc are.
you want to get a cloth or a pad that has smooth netting around it. scrub y9our dash and what not. Take air gun and dry cloth and wipe clean.

if you can not see the grain of the interior, it's clean.

seats you can do A MIST on them. ( DO NOT SOAK THEM) take anold towel and let sit for a min or so. place hand in towel and rub back and forth. repeat if stains still there. ( do headliner, seats, dash, panels etc with castrol)

tires ( soak with castrol) scrub with old mit ( let stand for min or so) make sure you use the mist so the cleaner hangs and drags downward)
hose off.

dressing: I use either MORE SHINE LESS TIME OR MEQUIRES HOT TIRES.
becareful, some will brown your tires. ( armor all foams, the clear stuff that comes in a clear bottle)

glass cleaner: invisable glass

don't think i forgot anything
