What did you use to clean the dash Niko? I usually use Spray and Wipe but it doesn't really do a good job...

its been crap weather lately (muddy), so the mats stay! lol

i use this stuff called kenco, heavy duty cleaner. i also gave my intirior a full detail with the stuff , add a tooth brush and cleaned the seatbelt buckles and door handles which you cant just clean with a rag as you need fine bristles to just move it out of the craks

Get those mats out of there, look like some kind of heavy duty truck mats or something.

I just went to kmart and got some mats that look stock and were trimmed in the exact same grey colour as my carpet. The shape of them suits the car as well, they blend in nicely for $30.

Should go the cheap blue checkerplate ones like I've got! Actually, I've just worn a hole into the driver's one so they aren't very durable. Maybe I should get rubber ones as well. Most people de-grampa-ise their car. Not me!

It must have been pretty dirty, because it still doesn't look too clean

I think that's a little harsh, the wheel doesn't look that bad with the Grey and black cluster behind it.

Ah there you go, learn something new everyday. Wouldn't have thought they would put a Gli wheel in a fairmont.
