95 Volvo Interior Help needed! Pics inside

[Msuperbauer]

The seats feel like cardboard, seem to be a bit darker than other volvos of same year (REALLY dirty?) no tears though.. The dash and interior trim is pretty stained (but not too cracked and damaged). Here are my questions. What is the best (most effecient, safest) product to use and should I just scub away with a scrub brush? Same with the dash and trim. The dash and trim look to be darker/dingy in the exposed areas compared to the hidden areas, I think the entire interior needs to be scrubbed heavily.. I have aplan of attack for the carpets, just not the dash/trim and seats.. I havent worked on a car that is this age and this level of filth. Thank you VERY much in advance!

It does look like the dash pad may be warped around the passenger airbag area, and there's not much to be done with that. Otherwise I would say either a fingernail brush and/or toothbrush to scrub the dash/door panels with some all purpose cleaner and warm water, and probably go with Leatherique to soften up the seats a bit.



You'd have to refinish that drivers' seat with as bad as it is to get it back to perfect, but you can certainly help it a bit and get rid of the worst of the soiling.
