Very NASTY Honda Odyssey Interior Detail!
Hi everyone!
I haven't posted an interior detail in a while because I haven't done very many to be honest. I did however do this 2004 Honda Odyssey, which was absolutely trashed, so I had to post it up. I started this detail at around 11am and finished after midnight. I had a few things come up during the detail so I lost a couple of hours. Luckily the vehicle itself was brought to me by a friend so there was no urgent need to have the van back ASAP. Unfortunately I did not get many after pictures, but I did manage to get a couple long exposure shots which turned out nice I think.
The vehicle is a 2004 Honda Odyssey with leather interior. The detail itself consisted of a full make over to bring it to as new of a condition as possible. Stains have been sitting for at least 4 years so some did not want to come out. The entire vehicle was covered in almost every thing I could think of, which was hidden by a huge layer of dust. An extremely foul smell was saturated in the back of the van as well. This was the first time I wore a mask while doing an interior.
Inspection:
Making my way around the vehicle, I took these shots which give you an idea of what I was in for.
Before & After
I've split up the pictures into 5 main sections. Trunk, Rear Area, Front Area, Mats, and Trim Pieces.
Process:
- Vehicle emptied out of extra large debris
- Mats and seats removed
- Plastic scuff panels removed
- Seat bracket bezels removed
- VERY thorough vacuum of entire interior.
- Presoak heavily soiled areas with Purple Power @ 8:1
- Shampoo with DP Carpet & Upholstery Cleaner
- Agitate with PC + carpet scrubber attachment at various speeds
- Wet/Dry Vacuum extraction
- Citrus-wipe down of all plastic panels. Dirt scrubbed out with as many tools as I could use ranging from plastic toothpicks to coarse toothbrushes. Wiped away with MF towels.
- Compressed air used in tight crevices
- Heavily soiled panels steamed, including headliner
- Panels & Dash dressed with 303.
- Leather shampooed with Lexol pH Shampoo. The seats were extremely dirty and required two sets of shampooing
- Leather conditioned with Lexol conditioner x2
- Stoner's IG on windows
- Pedals cleaned last as I had to move the van a few times during the detail.
Time was tight so I did not take TOO many pictures :P

Trim Pieces
The bezels just wouldn't get clean the way I wanted, so they appear a bit dirty. As with the scuff panels.
Afters
Unfortunately I only have 3 After pictures. By the the time I finished, it was very late and I was ready to fall over and go to sleep. lol! I had to use a long shutter speed of approximately 10-15 seconds.
Thanks for looking! Questions, comments, criticisms and suggestions are welcomed as always!
Edit: I forgot to mention, I'll be doing the owner's Grand Am soon as well (interior). It's even worse than this!
