98 Saturn SL2: 103K On the clock

**D Tailor** · 08-01-2006, 07:53 AM

I did this car for my dad. He retired two years ago and this was his commuter. He didn`t really take care of it cosmetically. He all about making sure it runs like new and looks however. He wanted to put it up for sale so I offered to help him out with it. The interior had several stains and lots of curmbs...the man love pretzels!! The exterior was swirled to death and just needed some TLC. All in all it came out beautiful and now he has it covered and up for sale on Autotrader ($3500 if anyone`s interested).

Interior:

Vacuum

Clean all surfaces

Attack Stains with diluted TOL APC

TOL Rug Renew on upholstery

Optimum Interior Protectant on vinyl

Conditioned all seals with PBNL

Thanks! It would be nice, but I am not expecting anything. Maybe he`ll pay me my regular rates...but the best would be for him to pocket it all of it. He`s given me a lot in life.

Haha! I can say the same. That`s funny.

It`s a long shot, but tell your officemate that my dad`s a driver, I bet you he`d drive to him/her (or at least half way) to sell the car.

At any rate, thanks for the compliments.
