Looks great! Those Intrepids have a LOT of nooks and crannies. The cupholder and console are awesome for use...but horrid when it comes detail time.
 
The before pics remind me of my daughter's car after a few weeks at school! She can trash a car faster than anyone! Nice turnaround! :clap:

I can smell that interior from here. Ugh.



Exactly what I thought as soon as I saw the shifter area.



Good work....don't worry about the crevices...obviously, the owner didn't :chuckle:
 
Thanks everyone for your kind words. As I returned the car to the owner, he had a huge smile on his face. That was before he saw the inside.
