my interior was a bit worse then that on the silver dragon, bottles etc all kinds of stuff all over the floor, there was cat hair and dusk that built up over the past 5 years (didn't clean the interior out for 5 years), I had cat litter puncture to a bag and litter all in the trunk,also the worst part was that someone left a bottle of oil in the back seat floorboard and a quart of oil ran all over the back floor board and up to the passenger seat in the front and it has to be wet vacummed or something. anyway I got someone to do all that and it looks pretty nice in there, But taking advice from romini do it once and do it right, so I did it once and the guys did it right so it looks nice in there as my daily driver.

Hahahah, avgj0F and RuninRoach, I love you guys. anyway, I got more pictures!!! Three days later the interior is still pretty clean. I figured I'd show you guys what it looked like in the daylight. Here's a sample!

That interior was like watching an episode of hoarders! Great turn around, I see cigarettes so I assume it still has a smokey smell. Wow I just can't understand how a car gets so dirty. I consider my car dirty if the dash has three days worth of dust and I vacuum it twice a week even if no one else sits in it, but then again I have OCD.

Ive heard this statement before and I wouldnt listen to what other people say. Have you yourself experienced this? I can prove otherwise. This is my 2002 VW jetta which I had for 8 years. This pic was taken before I sold it back in march of 2010 with 155,000 miles on it. Most people arent as **** as I am but I cleaned my dash, door panals, and hard plastics once or twice a year with armoral and it still looked brand new.

Mad props to you for cleaning it for her. You did one heck of a job. I have 4 sisters and everyone of them, their cars filthy with all the junk they put in it and leave in it. My gf too. I think woman as beautiful as they are can live like pigs sometimes and I mean worst than a bunch of college frats in an apartment.
