That's one way to clean the interior

My reupholstering project is getting under way - I'm preparing the seat covers I got from fordman3 for dye. I pressure washed 'em today (I tried the washing machine but it didn't seem to work well, I think the vinyl backs prevented the water from sloshing through them) and am hanging 'em out to dry - when they are dry I will attempt my first ever dye job :D

The seat covers aren't really that dark, of course - the combination of them being wet, the setting sun and the py digital camera made 'em really dark. In reality they're in nearly perfect shape but suffer from the typical red interior fade...
