Default The Interior from Hell

Ok, so maybe the title of this thread is a little dramatic, because the interior on this Hyundai-- oops, yeah Hyundai-- is in pretty good shape! It's the trash, dirt, leaves, and random, personal belongings that make this interior so strange.

This is my friend Carly,



and her car was so gross that I decided to showcase it on my blog.

Check out some of the pictures of what it looked like before I cleaned it!







I found some pretty grimey stuff in this car while I was cleaning it, like toilet plungers,



kitty litter,



and leaves...yeah, leaves.



Here's a peek at what it looked like after we finished cleaning the interior...



If you want to see more pictures and backstory about this wonderful day detailing my friend's car, go to this post on my blog

http://lexilaron.blogspot.com/2011/0...-cleaning.html

and enjoy.

Armoral is not good for the dash, it seeps into the vinyl and basically

destroys it from the inside out. Thats also a reason why dashes rattle.
