Vacuum everything - vacuum the carpets, under the seats, the seats themselves, the dash, the dash vents, the door pockets, etc.
Clean the vinyl - Use a good quality product like Griot's Garage Rubber and Vinyl Dressing, Vinylex, etc.
Clean the leather - Again use a quality product like Griot's Garage Leather Dressing, Leaterique, or Lexol.
Clean the glass - Use aan alcohol based product like Stoner Invisible Glass, Eagle One 20/20 Glass Cleaner, or Sprayway Glass cleaner.
Clean the carpet - Use a steam carpet cleaner or a hot water carpet cleaner. Be prepared to leave the windows open for a day to allow the carpet to dry completely.
Replace the cabin air filter - Search this BB for instructions.
Check for water - Pull up the carpet in the hatch area and remove the spare tire to check water intrusion or mildew.
