Awesome work but a couple of questions

What Kind of steamer and how often did you have to fill?

How long did it take hours/days?

Looks amazing:yourrock

thanks for kind words buddy, actually i'm still a newbie , still learning the tricks

the steamer is a nimbus 3000, got from ebay(UK), had to buy from UK as the they use the same voltage as in Mauritius (240v)

Actually the whole interior took me approximately 10 hours. still learning the trade

Thanks buddies. Your kind and so much encouraging replies are most appreciated. many thanks again

Interior was extreemly gross!

Wow looks great! You messed up somehow though, the steering wheels on side! Too much steam perhaps

 

[Wors]

Really nice job on the interior. The door jambs cleaned up great too.

 

[XSSIVE]

Newbie or not you did a great job and it's easy to tell you have the obsessive eye for detail since you cleaned the "press" text out on the seat belt. That's one of those tiny things that's easily overlooked.

Amazing work! The steamer is brilliant! My wife picked one up at a garage sale, now I MUST give it a try!

Would love to know the products you used. Other than steam and a lot of hard work! That was one nasty beast you teamed!
