Restoration
Continued from Page 1
Finished Product
As you can see, these 36-year-old vinyl parts look like new again. The cleaning process took the better part of a day, but adding the color only took a few hours. The results are stunning when compared to the former condition, and the cost was minimal. If you don't mind doing the restoration work yourself, it's the only way to go. Plus, you get the bragging rights at shows when you claim you have an original interior that looks like it did the day it rolled off the assembly line. This process will work on any year, make or model vehicle—just make sure you can get the interior color you need before starting the project.
