Interior Detail

[laynlow]

I spent about eight hours today doing a badly needed interior detail on a blazer.



First, I vacuumed the interior. Then I wet cleaned the carpet using an Oreck Steemer carpet cleaner. I meant to take some pics of the carpet stains, but forgot. Luckly they all came out, and I didn`t have a second chance.



Here are a couple before pics:

Next, I mixed a little Gold Class shampoo and water in a bucket. Using this solution, I cleaned all of the interior, except for the leather. Man, that is some nasty water!

Here is a shot of the driver side carpet. The interior and leather have not been done in this shot.

After the wipe down and scrub, comes the leather. I used Lexol on the seats and doors. Glass and dressing followed. I used Stoners IG and Meguiars #40.



Here are some after shots:

And after all that, there was time for a quick wash. Check out those Zaino beads.

Looks good.



Interiors are always a pain.

[C. Charles Hahn]

blazer interiors suck to detail....... especially that backseat area as you have to "squeeze" thru the doorway where the seats stick out so far.....



is that a stickshift I see?? I never knew they made any 4-door blazers with stickshifts......



mine`s a 98 so I have the slightly revised interior style (the dash is different, as are the headrests) and exterior style (mainly the rear bumper and front headlights)



but mine`s that same color combo....... they do look nice indeed....



good work! :xyxthumbs

Nice! The interior looks spotless! :up

SLP,



It is an automatic, the selector is just mounted in the center console, not on the column. I`m not 100% sure, but I believe that is one of the changes when you get the electronics group with the compass, temp, ect.

[C. Charles Hahn]

I dunno...... does yours have this group?? I know mine does but the shifter is on the column......



however all the GMC Jimmys/Envoys, Bravadas, or other s-truck SUV`s I`ve seen have the console mounted shifter.....

[laynlow]

Yes, this one has the electronics group and a sunroof. It may just be a plain old option. To be honest, I didn`t really pay attention when it was purchased. I do prefer the shifter in the console though, personal preference I guess.
