As some of you may recall, i bought this car in July... mostly in boxes. the outside was painted but nothing else was done. i have working on it most every day since. just can't seem to stop... well except when the parts and costs start to pile up. i have decided a new interior is not in this year's budget. a new carpet kit came with the car but the seats and panels have been sitting in some garage for about the last 15 years.
i read somewhere about cleaning up old vinyl with GOOP hand cleaner. So i thought i would try it. it came out quite nicely for the expense. some of it was just too nasty so i decided to paint it with some Color Bond i had left over from the TR6. again i am pretty happy with it.
after doing a few pieces i thought it might be a good idea to take one piece and show it thru the process. Not that anyone else will want to paint their interior but the clean up made quite a difference to a lot of the pieces just by itself. brought some real luster and depth back to the vinyl. anyway here is one of the back seats thru the process.
and another piece.
So you take the GOOP and spread it on by hand. i bought two tubs on Amazon. i have used one so far so it goes pretty far. after smearing it on, take a brush and rub it in. not much water here, just rub it in with the brush. as the GOOP start to fade in, i sprayed a little water on it to bring out some more goo. then i took the piece outside and rinsed it off with a garden hose.
