Interior.. just a suggestion of course.. the judges here want to see how the cars came from the factory..hence no shiney armoral on seats, tires etc. It attracts dirt too. I'll spray lexol vinalex on a damp cloth and wipe the interior down that way. Your cleaning/preserving without getting the shine that way. For your pedal rubber, and carpet rubber by your pedal cluster, maybe try a toothbrush with zeps citrus degreaser from home depot.. i took mine out and cleaned them that way in a pail with hot water. I wouldnt put any lexol or anything on them afterwards, it will make them slippery. My carpets i soaked in the tub with oxyscrub, they came out looking new. But, becarefull with that as you can potentially stain them with the cleaner. A little goes a long way. Your threshold sills, maybe take the inner one off to clean that way you can get the weather strip easier. I went overboard and completely took out the interior when I first got it. The first event dont go nuts. Get an idea on what they are looking for and go from there. Fanstic looking car btw.. want to trade for a white one (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Good luck and have fun!
