  • "Focused" on the interior...(56k beware!)

    Hey gang,

    I finally got a chance to clean the interior of my g/f Focus. You saw the before and after pictures of the outside, now it's time to see the inside. She is a college student and works part-time, so the car was pretty nasty. On top of that, she was hauling her young niece around for awhile. There were stains and some pretty bad smells in the car due to baby milk, cookies and such.

    Here is what I used:

    APC+ (10:1 mix for interior) for carpet, dash, panels and such.
    No name interior brush
    Shop-Vac 10gal (ole' faithful for over ten years)
    Silicone-Free Dressing on dash and panels (love the smell too )
    #23 Odor Eliminator (move over Frebreez)

    BEFORE:

















    AFTER:




















    I washed the car before I started on the interior, so the whole process took about 4 hours. This was first time using Silicone-Free Dressing and it's some awesome stuff. It says to spray evenly and let it dry, but the sprayer that came with my sample doesn't spray very evenly. I just sprayed it on the surface and worked it in with a MF towel. Very nice results in my opinion. My g/f was really happy with the results and so am I. The car looks better and smells a lot better.

        Great work on that interior.
        You said that you used Silicone Free Dressing on the interior. Did you ever use the Hyper Dressing? If so how did you dilute it and how would you compare the two?
        Did you use Megs APC on it?
        Interior looks great and I"m now considering the Dressing you used.
        I really like the look of it or maybe its just your work
        Great job again!!!

            Thanks for the comments. I never used HD before so I don't know what to do on that. I used APC Plus on the whole interior, diluted to 10:1. I thought I would give Silicone Free Dressing a try since I never heard much about it and was curious. I was really impressed with the results and think I have my "go to" dressing.

              Yeah, she knows somethings on cars. It won't be long before the CAI and exhaust will be installed.

                  Wasn't her fault, it was the guy who had it before her. She doesn't like a dirty car, but it's hard to keep it clean when she is always running. She actually wants some NXT SD and a MF towel to keep in her trunk for those bird bombs.
