Hi guys! Been awhile (2 months) since I last posted. School kept me busy I guess...but then I finally had the opprutunity to purchase my very own car (first car, I'm 21). So now that I have a car, I'll finally have something to detail.

It's a silver 2000 Ford Taurus SEL w/109K. It looks like it's been garaged for quite a few years, except for maybe the last couple. Here are some pictures: Here

I finally go home from school in May, so the detailing will begin pronto. I already know what I'm doing for the outside, but the inside is what has me wondering what to do. The plastic panels are nasty, the floor has spills, mats are dirty and the leather I don't think has been conditioned or cleaned in ages. I have the car getting 30% tint in a couple weeks and I have a dashmat installed.

After reading on here, it seems like leatherique would be a candidate for me but I'm not sure what exactly I should purchase? Or is there something better?

The carpet/plastic..does the 6-1 woollite thing work? I used some carpet cleaner concentrate awhile back and that stuff worked good (used for those vacuums). Is there a stronger product? The woollite mix should work fine for the plastics too I assume? Here are some pics of the interior: Click here

Thanks for any help...just want to buy what I need before I head home to the middle of nowhere :)
 
A good APC like PB'S would work great for everything in the interior. Seats, carpets, and door panels. The good thing about the product Dilute to your needs. I use it on interiors all the time. Then used on the seats get a soft leather brush. Then follow up with PB Leather Stuff. That's just my opinion. The Leatherique works quite well. If you do a search on the forum here there should be some writeups on Leatherique. Good luck with the detail.

I had not thought of using the PB APC (I assume you mean this one) on the interior. I should have because it is an APC ... DUH! I'll have to try that. I do like it and as you say you can dilute it so it goes a long way.

I've not used the PB Leather Stuff. I assume it is good. For really worn leather I have read that the Leatherique does wonders.
