POST UP LETS SEE THEM SPRING READY RIDES!!!!!
post up pics and stuff of your 2007 spring clean on your vehicles!!!!

alright guys, im getting spring fever, so today i relocated my interior to my living room and gave it a good cleaning. today was the interior and tomorrow is the exterior, more pics tomorrow of that its too ******* windy today for me to be standing out there fighting a hose. i conditioned the leather, soaked all the small plastic parts, scrubbed the console, shampooed the floor mats. while the interior was out of the car, i shampooed the carpets and picked up the beer bottle tops from where the seats were. steam cleaned the carpets, vaccumed etc......... i know my floor mats are about shot, i need some new ones, here are some pictures, i reluctantly took a before and after, i debated on it because i was too embarassed.......so anyways,



anyone want to tell me how to make that wear less noticable on the side bolster? i scrubbed and scrubbed. i think im just going to tuff it out untill my white leather seats come.











and here is the before and after, drivers side is done, passengers side is not its embarassing.



heres some of the **** i used to clean it with, that dirt devil hand vac is ****.......















alright guys thats it for today, tomorrow will have some exterior wash/wax pictures provided it dont rain.

POST UP LETS SEE THEM SPRING READY RIDES!!!!!

I just vacuum it then dust and wipe everything with warm soapy water every week so it's usually spotless. I also condition the seats every other week with Lexol two step process. I am a fanatic about keeping it clean And of course wash it every other week in the winter in my garage and every week in the summer.
