MarineIguana Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 Right last time i had a shot of my interior i was busy with the alarm and stuff never got to show the insides off so i now post my inside shots. Now the steering wheel needs to be sorted as its in a right state and has anyone got any upholstery cleaner they would recommend as the seats are looking a bit dirty I have replaced throttle cable and steering column as the throttle got stuck at 5000rpm brown trouser time it was and i broke my steering lock when i was changing the ignition barrel clumsy i know right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest s11pyk Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 the best upholstery cleaner is auto glym interior shampoo, its not cheap but takes minimal effort and smells fresh too. then scotchguard it. it'll last. im doing it to mine. after stripping the carpets and giving it a good jetwash. your interior looks well tho! a retrim on the wheel and it'll look sweet. i like it a lot.
