Stains and built up grime was removed by Brian using a combination of Folex, Stoner's Carpet, and Meguiar's APC.
Brian also dusted the dash with a variety of Edge foam swabs, cotton swabs, and various boars hair brushes, using Meguiar's Quik Interior Detailer when necessary.
As Brian worked on the interior, I started polishing the exterior by compounding the scratches and polishing out the haze. I used Menzerna PG and 3M Extra-Cut Compound of the heavy defect removal, using various LC and Shlegal Twisted Wool Pads, and removed the haze using Meguiars #83 on an orange LC pad.
After each step the paint was wiped with 50/50 and inspected, and paint readings where taken. To ensure a perfect finish, I believe it is necessary to fully inspect the paint after each step to make sure that all oils (which can act as fillers to mask your progress) are removed and that we are headed in the right direction.
Brian got started on the Leatherique treatment by applying Rejuvinator Oil by hand and working it into large amount of hide in the interior.

Dual Action, Brian on the inside and myself still polishing out the scratches on the front... Meg's #83 did mask the paint slightly, resulting in a slightly better then true appearance that would still need further refinement.

Brian finished with the carpets by scotch guarding them and resinstalling them. The interior plastics and rubbers (as well as rubber rim, gas, clutch, and brake metals) where lightly cleaned with Poorboy's APC and treated with 303 Aerospace protectant...
We took a brief 15 minute break while the Leatherquie backed on the seats. When we returned, it was getting a little later, so Brian got to work removing the Rejuvinator Oil by using Prestine Clean and dressing the dash with 303 to fight fading.
