    Dodge Stratus (trashed interior) BLGM to the resuce!

    My aunt asked me to replace a headlight bulb in her car while her and my uncle were gone for a few days. After replacing the light bulb, I decided to clean the car up for her. Her and her husband (my uncle) own greenhouses/a dog so its used for everything, hauling plants, dog carrier, junk carrier. I did his car not to long ago 2005 GMC Envoy (trashed interior) It was mostly an interior job, as the exterior just got a quick wash. I didn't take any exterior pics as it wasn't really bad (dirty) just a lot of tar and the paint is in poor condition.

    Interior
    Vacuum with shop vac (6hp) - vacuuming, brusing, vacuuming, brushing...
    Carpet/seats spots treated with 303 carpet cleaner
    Carpets/seats scrubbed with a mix of Meguiars APC (4 ounces) and Oxy Brite (1-2 tablespoons)
    Carpets/seats "Extracted" with the BLGM (I emptied the dirty water container 25 times)
    All interior panels scrubbed with Meguiars APC (4:1)
    All interior panels protected with 303.
    All glass cleaned with Stoners Invisible Glass.


    Before














    Some 50/50 shots, the passenger side floor was worse as there was a baby seat in the back on that side.

    Making progress




    After

    The carpet is pretty wore, so a lot of the darker spots are just where the carpet is wore/torn through, not dirt.








    Sorry for the lack of pics. Towards the end I was concentrating on finishing as they were coming home soon. And for the lack of after pics as I finished 10 minutes before they came home (it was a surprise "clean job")

    BTW, if you leave a space or two between your pic links they could be used individually in a quote. Just a thought...
