1998 GMC Jimmy (Trashed interior)
Since I've been doing a lot of cars (8-10) a week, I've really neglected a lot of my families cars. This was my first car when I was 15, paid $1,000 from my uncle and then $2,500 for a new GM trans. Sold it to my dad when I was 16 for $5,000, lol. Its now one of the farm "beaters" and used for everything around the farm. It hauls hay carts, car trailers, anything you can put in the back, driven all across the midwest (sister snowboards) so its seen its fair share of abuse. It has 220,000 on and probably hasn't been cleaned since I sold it except for the occasional drive through wash in the summer. I did this at night (3 all nighters) in one of our smallest shops as all the rest are full of equipment/trucks so excuse the darkness/haze from the heat/water in some of the pics.
Exterior
2BM with Optimum car wash and grout sponge
Wheels/wheel wells/undercarriage cleaned with degreaser (tires scrubbed with brush) but rims/wheel wells/undercarriage just got rinsed after degreaser (I wasn't to concerned)
Jambs cleaned with degreaser
Interior
All interior plastic and door seals cleaned with Meguiars APC (4:1) and srubbed with a toothbrush and a swissvax brush look alike
Vacuumed with 6hp shop vac and brushed a ton
Spots pretreated with Folex
All carpets/seats sprayed down with Zep Premium Carpet and Upholstery Shampoo (excellent stuff, no foam really, cleans awesome)
Extracted with the BLGM till it all rinsed out
Went back over with the shop vac till carpets were about dry
Where I began...

That truck looks like a real work horse that has served your family for many years (dirty years I might add). You deserve a ton of credit for trying to tackle that unbelievable job and bringing it back to life. Nice work.

Awesome job !!! That thing had taken some serious abuse. I can't imagine how long it took you to clean up the interior.
