My candidate for worst interior!

[CCC4me]

I've seen a number of threads claiming the worst interior ever, so I thought I'd throw mine in the mix.

I haven't posted any of my work before because I flat out don't want to pause to take pics. I decided to try it on this one, but I still didn't do as good a job on the pics as so many of you so bear with me.

Here it was before:

I used Folex and Meg's 4:1 APC with my Vapor Jet steamer and horse hair brushes for most of it. This is my favorite shot:

The outside had its challenges too:

A little time with my ThermaKleen steamer:

and all better:

You'll notice a slight discoloration where all that tar was, but it polished up fine using the DAMF system:

CSI would have a field day with that nasty thing, imagine what you can't see! Echhhhhh.

Nice recovery, that interior looks like it was never touched since it was new.

I probably should have worn a mask! Good thing steam kills all the germs!

Thanks for the kind words! I honestly believe it never was touched in its 165k miles. I call this a 9/10 effort: any further effort wouldn't yield enough appreciable result.

Great save for sure :)

[custmsprty]

Mask, gloves, hazmat suit etc. Your a better man than me, nice work! :props:

[detailguy71]

Great turnaround

Thanks PureShine, custmsprty, and detailguy! It wasn't perfect, just 200% better!
