This car, like its other siblings (Cresta, Mark II, etc) was born in the era of insane japanese 6 cylinder turbo engines. Thus this is not your everyday average car.Run. Be very afraid.<img src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-mmW2z1_8ikE/UDHfqNbmacI/AAAAAAAABBY/RPtxHhj5gG8/s640/http-%253A%253Aforum.jdmstyletuning.com%253Ashowthread.php%253F17500-Dimi-1998-Toyota-Chaser-Tourer-V%253Apage5.jpeg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />(Adapted from: <a href="http://i263.photobucket.com/albums/ii158/dimi108/badge_close.jpg" target="_blank">http://i263.photobucket.com/albums/ii158/dimi108/badge_close.jpg</a>)Many will go "wow" seeing a detail of a new exotic. But little does one realise that the real challenge comes when trying to detail/restore an old car. Especially an abused one. For us, be it new or classics, if you love your car and want it restored, I say bring it. A friend recently acquired this car in mind for a project. Having previously abused by the previous users and workshops, he asked if the state of the interior can be improved. Let the pictures talk now.Passenger carpet before. Whitish hardened stains<img src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-zrGYJlOSIK8/UDHfvkMtFDI/AAAAAAAABBg/3ntN0lk6xto/s640/DSC01917.JPG" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />A 50/50 cleaning by Osren Fabric Cleaner<img src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-K7E-DFZ-0-Y/UDHgJHeRLEI/AAAAAAAABCQ/Pa6l_ow8AyM/s640/DSC01928.JPG" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Passenger carpet done.<img src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-W3Oox_1Ql9o/UDHgLZIMyWI/AAAAAAAABCY/An3whV5dQic/s640/DSC01932.JPG" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Driver's side carpet before.<img src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-BF_uZltsgGY/UDHf5oLSjGI/AAAAAAAABBw/3jEb82qhvVs/s640/DSC01920.JPG" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Driver's side carpet done.<img src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-nbxIjKLSpog/UDHgP0_FQ8I/AAAAAAAABCo/f7TIb1un70I/s640/DSC01938.JPG" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Rust ingrained in carpet.

Tried other treatments including concentrated Optimum Power Clean with half hour agitation but could not remove. Resorted to using my self formulated pH neutral cleanser. A blend of various polar and non polar cleaners. Lets just call it the Dirt Defier for now.<img src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-2J32PPfRUhk/UDHgRg2uiyI/AAAAAAAABCw/-DtuYmCV4qk/s640/DSC01941.JPG" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Roof handle after: The Dirt Defier managed to lightened the marks significantly although still not able to remove. I have suggested for an interior restore on this part.<img src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-9u3dR0XExtE/UDHgbjzBXBI/AAAAAAAABDI/qCRXRZfPbQM/s640/DSC01946.JPG" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Before.

Nothing works here including OPC, Osren Fabric Cleaner and even Dirt Defier. Resorted to using an interior solvent based cleaner.<img src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-1vcuE4q1UlE/UDHg28krBXI/AAAAAAAABEY/7S-DEX-RMWY/s640/DSC01977.JPG" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Boor board after: Spent 45 minutes of agitation on a single spot for the passenger side and 30 minutes on the driver's side. The whitish stains are dryness caused by the interior solvent and not damaged. The area was applied with moisturisers afterwards to restore the satin shine.<img src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-b-0av8azJZU/UDHg4gY5YBI/AAAAAAAABEk/FVE7dsPibac/s640/DSC01981.JPG" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />A total view of an after detailed door board<img src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-BeoHIZZMx_Y/UDHhQngHx5I/AAAAAAAABF8/NxmfGP6KI8E/s640/DSC02006.JPG" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Upholstery before.<img src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-qDq-DYdXlRw/UDHg8s-BZqI/AAAAAAAABE0/fuegkjkvMsQ/s640/DSC01990.JPG" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Upholstery after.<img src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-h0FQZujNMRQ/UDHhSTuHXZI/AAAAAAAABGE/ep4Nylcossc/s640/DSC02007.JPG" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Due to the dark colour of the seats, it is difficult to judge whether anything is cleaned at all, or whether it is even dirty in the first place. But a single wipe of the microfibre with Osren Fabric Cleaner tells it all.<img src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-6F0Mc9XXYO8/UDHg7DFRXwI/AAAAAAAABEs/TEPGz8SXE74/s640/DSC01984.JPG" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Upholstery before: Random gum spots<img src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-wzE3R-nlRdQ/UDHg-kzagkI/AAAAAAAABE8/3QXBT2WV76c/s640/DSC01992.JPG" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Upholstery after: Gums spots gone with dirt defier.<img src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Ui4m20K2f_Y/UDHhD3q5DOI/AAAAAAAABFU/nUzV7VqmITg/s640/DSC01996.JPG" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Upholstery before: Another patch of hardened gum.<img src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-041wDXn-tRA/UDHhAYjA6YI/AAAAAAAABFE/B6S9NAes1TM/s640/DSC01993.JPG" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Upholstery after: Gum soften, and removed.<img src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-wBzFpghf9ag/UDHhCOPSCuI/AAAAAAAABFM/x5KkZkZ5GjI/s640/DSC01995.JPG" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Door handles before: A close up view of ingrained dirt (look closely into darkened grain of the leather.)<img src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-LR8ol_bQYm4/UDHhGaLkJ-I/AAAAAAAABFc/vRpy-BXUrcg/s640/DSC01998.JPG" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Door handles after: Deep cleaning of Dirt Defier lifts even the dirt stuck within the leather grain<img src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-r01RUz2vnWo/UDHhIP9qumI/AAAAAAAABFk/9h4C1uhU4K0/s640/DSC01999.JPG" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Delicate details not to be missed<img src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-BnEW3QY9_oU/UDHhJyBA2aI/AAAAAAAABFs/L0j-bKIh0Tk/s640/DSC02001.JPG" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-X07yr4PDN-k/UDHhO0aTtxI/AAAAAAAABF0/lmnLWqkqqXw/s640/DSC02003.JPG" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />An example of what is removed from interior detail.
