I'm looking for tips/products and ideas as I begin attempting to reclaim this vehicle.........and learn a little bit about detailing. I thought this would be an excellent vehicle to start with because if I did mess something up it couldn't really be any worse than it is right now. On the interior (the exterior is a another post......good lord ), the vinyl dash and doors has a textured light grey and black coverings. In most spots the light grey matches the black......the seats have ground in dirt, the console between the seats is a health hazard (seriously around the emergency brake is something to behold) and the vinyl floor is a heck of a mess. There used to be mats on the floor but they disappeared and the dirt is just ground in especially on the drivers side.
I need to get passed being pissed off because that is doing nothing..........the car has set in the garage almost undriven since August. My wife will drive it some but not that often. I can't because I only get mad when I open the door. I just don't get it.......we are very neat and tidy people. I would post pics, but I am to ashamed.
The Element is a 2007 with less than 60,000 miles on it and runs like a top.
