    Interior cleanup/refresh no 56k...

    So I did the old "take this job and shove it..." the other day...got some time off, paid no less! Bonus coming in a few days and with savings can afford some time off and to put some long needed attention into the car...



    Started today pulling the Vaders, vacuuming and leatherique...LOL from a GB Obioban handled about 3 years ago! Going to let them sit overnight while being kept warm..



    Updates as I progress but would appreciate any input/tips along the way!



    (Other items planned in down time...Dr Vanos Stage 1, tint removal/replacement, body work for dings and possible respray of trunk/hood, TCKline SA, rtabs/all bushings and more....)



    Starting off...







    armrest





    bolster





    Vaders out...how easy! Not so much as heavy as they are bulky.





    Vacuumed...





    Leatherique applied to rears...





    Warming up interior...





    Leatherique...





    Floormats done with Little Green..

            Awesome work Robert! I seriously want to do this to my car, probably have to wait till May.

              I would highly advise against using leatherique on your alcantara...

                Overall, loved the leatherique. Process is simple and straightforward. Leather feels much more supple and comfortable. Though I'd hoped for better results, I was not expecting miracles and should have done this long ago, and made it a recurring process.



                The Little Green works fantastically. Took virtually every stain out in very short order. Also leaves a very nice scent!

                Drivers side





                Passenger (can't get rid of the damn burn mark in back...)





                Center





                Armrest...certainly did clean it but the wear won out...





                Door card...was filthy prior





                Rear





                Front...lol, there's a new mod added in here..

                      ZHP Knob FTW! What do I win?


                      Looks good man. Careful with the leatherique. My driver's vader was just a little worse than yours and ended up so supple, it fell apart.


                      I need to use my little green soon.


                      I need a euro steering wheel. Where did you source yours?

                          I used the 2x multi-allergen you can see here simply due to all the crap in the air here in AZ that will come in a few weeks...

                              I bought mine at Walmart and iirc they had many of the varieties there...I know they had the lavendar, orange, pet stain and pro varieties as I considered those as well. Also, I'd guess most vacuum specific shops would sell them?
