I looked at a car today which was pretty mint exterior wise, the interior however was a different story. The guy who currently owns it is a builder and therefore the interior has been a bit dirty, although alot of the plastics would easily wipe clean, surfaces such as the cloth door cards and seats are also stained a light brown. Im just wonderin if this is an easy clean, its not like the current owner has tried, im hopeful it will be an easy job. Anyone got any before and after pics of interior cleaning jobs or similiar?

Autoglym interior shampoo usually works well, no pics to hand im afraid, but ive been pleased with the results previously.

Interior - all plastics can be wiped down with an all purpose cleaner. I use Autosmart G101, you can also get a good one from Meguiars, or on a real budget, a lot of people use Daisy from Tesco at a weak dilution ratio!
Fabric if it's stained will need a good attack with a wet vac tbh (shampoo) - no point suggesting what I use tbh as it's not readily available, but a lot of people seem to have fairly good results with the AG stuff available from halfrauds etc. If you can't lay your hands on a wet vac to use, AG do a "high tec" interior pad which used with their cleaner gets pretty good results OR, spray the cleaner on and agitate with a stiffish brush (no stiffer than something like a nail brush)
Here's a builders van I did soon after I set up - took an hour as it was a freebie - all plastics etc scrubbed with brush and Megs APC, seats with Megs APC and a wet vac:

HTH. Any more questions, don't hesitate to ask!

Seats are pretty hard wearing tbh - the cheapo scrubbing brush in Asda is the best supermarket jobby I've found, the rest of the time I use a Megs one - you can attack them fairly hardcore though

Yeah its more the door cards im worried about, the fabric seems pretty thin like you would expect it to go smooth after alot of friction.

I'd suggest doing them with one of the AG pads or a microfibre tbh
