I'm a lot like Sarah. Call it OCD as she does. Or explain her passion by way of "Grams" who taught her to drive on the Ranger.
Personally I think the psychology of detailing and restoration goes down even deeper. There's something very special about our little old trucks, the same reason why we all keep coming back to The Ranger Station. It's a very loveable ride.
The upholstery had both food stains and some grease. I cleaned it in maybe a half a dozen passes using rubbing alcohol and a sponge. I prefered alcohol because there is a strange chemistry connected with soap deposits. They actually bond with dirt when they dry. Pardon the floor right now. It's been a couple weeks since I cleaned it.
Sarah detailed a paint job in another video. Months ago, I applied 2 ceramic coats on the paint job. Because I live up north, I also applied several coats of a product known as Salts Gone on the paint and underneath. Even now after a couple months of winter and a fine salt spray, you can still see a mirror like reflection in this photo of my tailgate.
Thanks a lot for posting these episodes. They are fun!
