LOL, I feel your pain! I own the `01 Olds version of this van. Besides the size, mine is actually not that bad to maintain since it`s white. I don`t have to worry too much about microscratches since they don`t show as easily if it were a dark color. And since I keep it relatively clean, it`s easier.

Nice results! Especially on the interior. Can you explain your procedure for the carpets? What equipment/products did you use?

I got my a$$ handed to me with a Jeep today that had the worst interior I have ever done, I will post some pix with a little more detail on procedure tommorrow

Great job!!! I`ve done a few of those before. I feel your pain. Nice turnaround.

Nice turnaround on that mini van!

I can never get my stripes/lines to look that nice so I don`t even bother anymore LOL

Excellent recovery!

Never ceases to amaze me how people can drive around in something that dirty.

nice job on the inside man. i would also like to know what kinda extractor you have.

Awesome work. The exterior looks amazing just for a one step. But the real magic was the interior. Clean as a whistle. I wonder if you can get sick from driving in a car like that? I mean I`ve seen worse and sat in some that smell like wet cats and dogs or hot garbage. Send it to mythbusters.
