    Tired interior

    My interior was a mess, oily, dirty and not good in a soft top, you can see he seriously stained seats.



    The carpet, ewww






    As you can see, vulgar, so i stripped the whole lot, seats, door cards and carpets.

    I then scrubbed them using carpet cleaner, a stiff brush, and then used an airhose to push outthe dirty water, let them dry in the sun for a day and then reinstalled.










    Carpet came up good too



    Took some effort, front carpet was a pig to remove withe the centre console locked in under the kneebar, but eventually got it all out, cleaned and back in, whole job took me a whole day, with a day to dry too.

    Cost $15

    Happy with the result, only downside, is it smells like the misses car, all clean and fresh

    Very nice. My Cab has the same "JQ" Sahara Beige cloth trim, so I know how easly it gets dirty.

    Did you remove the rear seat backrest? easy?

    If you're going to steam clean and have some greasy spots what I found worked well is lightning brand industrial hand cleaner.

    It got paint of the carpets in one of my cars.

    You need the steam cleaner to get the hand cleaner out though.

    Yes removed the whole seat, two parts, the bottom half is a couple of screws at the front, above the rear footwells. The top a little trickier. Pull the two catch cords then push, the seat should then swing on the bottom hinges. Then just pull the edges in one one side to reveal the allen key bolt, undo, then same on the other side, reverse is obvious.

    Easy mate.
