Another Easter weekend entry.
Remember the scruffy Nissan Micra I had last year?

It needed so much cleaning and remedial work, but once done, it made a huge difference.
Seats were a case in point.
From this…..
To this…..
Well, the seats in the Canta were clearly treated with as much disrespect as possible…….
So I decided to first clean out all the dirt in them, followed by a dry vacuum cleaning.
Both of them had a handful of dirt between the seat back and seat base, these seats are non-adjustable, so have pockets where dirt collects.
No idea how one can go to this level of abuse.
So once they were dry vacuumed it was time to get out the Vax Wet cleaner, an amazing tool, as previously proven with the Nissan Micra seats.
If one repeated the job a second time, I am pretty certain they would come up even better.
So ready for action.
I started with the fabric surfaces, and Vax machine.
Once that was done, I used an ammonia based cleaner for the vinyl sides and backs which were also damaged, due to the car being used as a mobile wheelbarrow for building rubble and garden refuse, plus the rest of the smelly stuff I had removed previously.
The result was worth the few hours spent cleaning up.
So I started with these.
And after the first round, this was some of the very murky waters it resulted in.
And for the lazy ones who prefer a movie……
All captured, along with some advice and description of how to get the results I got.

Of course there are different better ways to do stuff in everyone’s opinion…..
But this works well enough for me.
Next up of course…..
