Default just got a 89 Civic Hatch DX PICS INSIDE

The car was sitting around in my cousins driveway for 6 months, so i decided to take it off his hands. The car runs fine just needs a new muffler. Complete tune-up was done yesterday, and it has about 224000 miles. The car looked like crap from the inside, i didnt know someone could have their car this ****** dirty. So this morning i decided to go to Advanced Auto Parts and buy some cleaning products, after a throbing 5 hours the car turned out pretty good. Pics below.

way to go on the cleaning job. That must have made the arms tired, especially after five hours of that.

well first i vacumed the interior as much as i could then i used Tuff Stuff, its in a can most of the time found in the detailing department. after spraying about 2 to 3 layers of it I scrubed it down with a tough brush, then just used the vacume to take the rest of the dirt off.

nice detailing, I just got my 91 red 4sp HB this january, been fixing it up some to better stock condition, finally just vacuumed the interior, heh, but mine is black / grey inside, so hides dirt great, I do need to shampoo carpets I guess.
I wish I could figure how to post a pic, I wanna show a pic of my exterior paint cleaning job, I can post pics on other forum I am on, but how do I do it here? is it because I am new status? thanks, and hello all.
