[QUOTE="RichM1983, post: 14771660, member: 35599"] Another shot of the car. Hate the rims but from this angle you can't see the shitty Cobra R's that well lol. [ATTACH=full]634676[/ATTACH] Here is some of the interior cleaning I've done. I still have a lot left to do on the inside but this is a start. So I've read on here the best way to renew the alcantara in our cars is to take 1000 grit sandpaper to it. It takes the little fuzzies off of it and makes it look nice again. I've done it before and it works pretty well. I did a search and can't find a before and after in here. A little history. I bought this car last fall with 80k. Overall it needed some attention. The seats had stains and the alcantara on the drivers seat was looking fuzzy or wooly, not smooth like it should. I figured I'd take a before and after to show the results of what some Blue Coral and 1000 grit did for me. My seats were stained so I didn't hesitate to use the Blue Coral. I know there are other methods to treat the alcantara that may be safer on pristine seats. All I did was roll up the sand paper and wipe from side to side with moderate pressure. I was careful on the edges not to sand the leather. It is a pretty simple process. The after pics look dark because the alcantara is still wet from the Blue Coral.
