15 hours of cleaning?!?!

Yeah dude, this thing was filthy.

Ill break it down for ya.

It took 3 days to finish cleaning. I started from the minute i got home from school(2:45) until it got dark (7:00ish)

- 5 hours - Vacuming: My brother ate in his car 24/7, and he ant no princess eater, He's a messy king. He was always just brining his breakfast, lunch or dinner in there to finish. Heres some math for ya. lets say he he only ate 5/7 days and 5 crumbs came off of what he was eating. So 5 crumbs X 5 days X 4 Weeks X 12 Months X 12 years = 14400 ************ crumbs! It was disgusting but you haven't even added in when his stoner buddies were eating with him. IT was like half an inch thick of SHIT. Vacuming was an adventure, let me tell ya.

- 9 hours - Interior Scrubbing: 6 magic clean erasers, 2 sponges, and 2 toothbrushes gone. There ruined with dirt or fell apart. I scabbed hard and long and got the interior spotless. I picked up a girl last weekend and she asked me if the car was new, so I was proud.

- 1 hour - Exterior: There is so much I want to do to the exterior but for now all I was focusing on was cleaning. So appa got a bath:) There really isn't much to giving baths but i tried as hard as I could to make her spotless.

- 3 hours - Sewing: Some other time that isn't considering cleaning, but is housekeeping shit was sewing. Imagine nice clean leather, then add 12 years of heat and sun exposer and a tear that is 2 feet long and 6 inches wide. I tried sewing the dry rotted leather together but I am no master. I stabbed myself 3 times but It looks a lot better then It did before. Ill post some pictures of the exterior tomorrow.


Does anyone know how to get nasty carpet stains out?

Sounds like you did a nice job! I need to do this to mine whenever I get a chance and replace some interior panels as well...

As for carpet stains, have a professional shampoo the carpets. I removed my interior panels, and all the seats and pulled the carpet myself and took it to a local place. They did an awesome job on it! Saved me some money, instead of having someone come take the seats out and paying them for it.
