I need interior cleaning tips!
Please help me, I just got my car back from the body shop, and the interior is covered with all the dust from the media blasting. Ive scrubbed and scrubbed but it seems to reappear from in side the grooves of the vinyl mainly on the doors and dash. Being a black interior, its very noticeable.
Would of posted this in general, but my computer throws me into Tech.
Thanks.

First, blow the car out several times with 90psi compressed air from a compressor. Get everything...and each little crevasse you can find. Then, just detail the car as you normally would, cleaning all surfaces with a damp rag or wipes. If you have to do it several times...as I did...so be it. That dust gets everywhere, and blowing it out several times first will help a lot.

No, it wasn't done by a Corvette shop, though I'm so far happy with the work. This is the second time it's been painted this year, it had to be blasted to take off what the larst jerk did. I know next time when I take my C4 in, to try to seal as much as I can myself.
Thanks for the info.

That crap does get everywhere. Body filler sanding dust and blasting dust gets everywhere. Oh, a tip from someone who's been there.
When the car is up and running, turn the vents to high, and watch how much dust and crap blows out. You don't want to be defrosting the windshield or turning on the A/C to get a puff of dust and powder in your face.
