Cleaned up the Corolla today

Well after several weeks of putting it off, I finally made myself get out and clean up the car. Having 2 kids and a large dog does bad things to the interior.

I feel so bad posting this first picture. The amount of crumbs and dog hair under the console was disturbing!


During and After pics.







It is not a professional job by any means but it is 1000x better than when I started.

Wow, this hard work paid off for you then
Even if I have the guts to disassemble all these, I won't have to time to do it. So props for you!

Taking everything apart wasn't too bad actually. And from start to finish it took me about 3.5 hours. Great way to spend a day outside.

Kids playing and wife hanging out with me cleaning. Great afternoon.

I don't think my Corolla has ever been close to that dirty inside. Props to you for a job well done.

I cleaned mine out after my 2250 mile trip several weeks ago but it still wasn't even close to that dirty. At every fuel stop I have the kids get all the trash out of the car.
