Re: Monday's 1999 VW Beetle

before: lots of steaming and vacuuming




after: You are seeing some dirt spots at the bottom of the door. Couldn't tell you how many times I wiped the area after steaming. Obviously missed the last of that 8 year old gunk. Sorry.

Re: Monday's 1999 VW Beetle

Thanks Scott - by the time I started the outside the sun was long gone. The passanger door had about 6 scratches on it that must have come from her trying to get something off with a sand paper. EC with the white lc pad got rid of those fairly easy. So not the worst.

This is my 2nd neglected Bettle and the amount of gunk thaty builds up in them is amazing. I steamed for hours.
