Cleaning interior door panels and carpets

Post by Jonathan S »

Hi , I am redoing the interior of my 89 T25. I want to see if I can clean the interior door panels and make them come up like new instead of buying new ones as there is hardly any wear and tear. The front door panels have textured fabric and the back sliding door carpet. They are quite dirty (mostly oil/grease dirt) and the carpet has the odd dark oil mark from greasy fingers. The light cream colour of the upholstery does not help to hide any marks. Are their any majical product that will remove the dirt? Or maybe specific treatment from a cleaning service could do the job well having specialised equipment. Thanks for your attention.

I did mine with a cheap steam thing but do it on a nice warm sunny day so it drys properly or you will have everlasting misting Windows every time it rains

I have recently bought a cat c write off car to resurrect. The interior was disgusting but being a tight squad I didnt want the expense of buying a steamer or similar so I used dry foam carpet shampoo and elbow grease. The results are remarkable. Just waiting for the sunny days to dry it now :rollin
