Looks good man , Sounds like you got yours for cheap like I got mine . Don't worry man Ive had 6 cars so far in like 5 years lol

I beat that. Im 22 and have had roughly 35 cars since I was 16 lmao. No word of a lie. A few are on here in past and present threads.

One thing that has been bothering me since i got this car has been the slap happy detail job that the dealership did in order to get it looking nice for inspection on the car lot.
For some reason nearly all car dealerships like to use this horrible oil sh*t that goes everywhere, attracts major dust, leaves everything greasy and is left in puddles throughout the interior plastics. Dont even get me started on the stench of the stuff....

So, today i got into it and cleaned everything thoroughly using detergent+ water mixed in a bucket to strip the oil off everything, then followed it up by spraying some meguiars quick interior detailer all over the plastics, rubbers and vinyl.
This was the result of all that:

After everything was vacuumed and cleaned properly i then used some kitten car shampoo to clean off the seats and rid it of all the ass sweat it had deep down under the fibres. Once this was done i got onto the door cards and dressed all rubbers, vinyl and plastic with 303 aerospace protectant
This is how it looks now after all that:

Even the pedals came up nicely! Good stuff that meguiars quik interior detailer

You mightn't notice the difference in the pics, but its much nicer inside now. Nothing is dirty, oily or dusty anymore and the smell is great :) Nothing worse than being inside a car that smells like a dog has laid a fresh turd in it!

I bought 2 polishing pads today for my buffer, so ill be getting onto the paint tomorrow getting rid of all the swirls and light scratches and giving it a good hit with my leftover nxt 2.0 wax to help protect the clear thats left

Cheers guys

I love your meticulousness when detailing your car. Very impressive and has inspired me to detail my cars in a whole new way

Bit of progress today, got the dash out and ready for paint tomorrow

Getting the radio out was a pain in the ass, but once I got a feel for how easy it was to remove it was a relief.
Used the coat hanger method.
So ghetto.

Progress shots from today

Sky came out clear as today and the rain luckily held off, so I got my paint on haha
The air was nice and dry and warm, perfect paint weather.
(For a rattle can job anyway!)

Beautiful weather
