I HATE DIRTY CARS!
I may wear dirty pants but i cannot sit in dirty car :rolleyes:
so i dismantled all the interior, striped sits, removed floor and washing and cleaning all the way....
I`m just confused what to do with the roof...? I think i have to go in some cleaning service for it... it looks a bit hard to remove roof cover + it is always a way to hard to work "with hands up and all the way head watching above"... if you understood what i mean...
Thanks God we got sunny days 🌞

If you wear clean pants you won't have to clean the seats.

To clean the headliner, roll the car over so you don't have to fight gravity.

Well I dunno how dirty it was originally but I’d say you did a pretty good job! The side profile picture looks great - supa fresh!

Im also the same way except I’m so OCD I literally change my clothes after work before I get in my car, wipe the dash, shake drivers floor mat out and spray smelly spray almost every time I enter and exit the vehicle AND I STILL DO DEEP CLEANS LIKE THIS - not quite this od lol but wiping & vacuuming things that are already proper lol… I just LOVE a clean car (inside and out - one of the two has got to be done, preferably both 😆)

I had to make picture before dismantling..but sadly i didn't, ... for example sit belts was so much dirty and rough from dirt they wasn't rolling inside, i had to remove front sit belts and wash them to make them work normally, I did wash original sit covers (First post Second picture) twice in washing machine with some special cleaning powders and the dirty spots didn't remove anyway, but bad smell did gone, also they had burned holes from cigarettes, I brought this car on 23 January and i haven't driven it even 200km yet :D all time cleaning and fixing, but now i`m nearly done, from tomorrow i can enjoy driving it , for now left to clean door cloth parts + instrument panel,
This car was just twice cheaper to normal price for this model and i brought it, it takes some working on it but the amount i`m saving in overall is good :D

Mine was the same way when I bought it, I didn’t get quite as good a deal on it as I’d have liked but I paid a decent price but the interior was destroyed from previous owners dogs in the car - interior had to be fully steam cleaned and shampooed and I’ve still got stray dog hair floating around in there (the stock carpet is like crab grass it grabs hair and doesn’t let it go… more importantly it had a ton of mechanical issues that took me 3-4 months and $3-4k to fix, the list kept growing every time I’d fix something id find someone else wrong…. Anyways, well worth it, I love my little coupe 😍
