    Default What have i been doing to my rare SL/E?

    Cleaning the buckskin velour headlinning. The colour before i started cleaning was a drak brown/grey, really filthy!. So with "magic secret recipe" its starting to come back to original condition. Also it gives back the right feel too.





    Still have a long way to go. I do all the hard bits first. So tomorrow arvo the centre dome light comes out.
    Hope you enjoy.

    Actually none of the stuff dropped on me, only on the seat covers. Also its dry in about 20mins tops, which is even better

    I finished this the other day. Although made the interior stink need to get some car cologne to get the smell out.
    Since i have started with the headlinning might as well do the whole interior, oh the joys of that.
