You may be surprised to find that glass cleaner that comes in those cylindrical paint can style containers and spray in almost a foam-like method are incredible for cloth restoration. It also works well on hard plastic. If you saw the 2002 Corolla I restored, I only used Safelite auto glass cleaner, a thick bristle brush to break up the dirt in the seats and soft brush and microfiber towels to handle plastic as not to scratch anything. Unreal results

Since the original intent of this car was, “cheap car that could be fixed on a budget and sold for a profit,” I think you absolutely hit it out of the park on this interior restoration. Cheap, looks 1000x better, and at the end of the day, greatly increased the value and appeal of this car. Great video as always, keep that BMW content coming! 🤙🏻
