Ferrari Testarossa 88 , interior , mold attack!

Cosmin · 04-25-2010, 01:16 AM

the car was neglected, got some water too and the result was ....see the before pictures: mold everywhere: doors , dash , seats , trims , everywhere!
all being leather i went with 2 passes of meguiar`s leather cleaner conditioner and a soft brush, the towels i wipe with had some green dirt of them after wipe.
plastic trims got meguiar`s m40 , and some of them optimum protectant.
Main focus was to bring interior in a better shape,and even with that the leather may need some more work.the car is a project and will see some body work too. NO Paint Correction here , was just wash with onr and got some wax s100.
seats and doors has a lot of scuffed in the leather.
sorry guys , no car show here! just some light improvement in interior.
total time 5 hours 1/2

Was this a flood damaged car?

makes me want to cry

Wow was the T's interior really that bad? Especially compared to a body that has aged really well.

Cosmin · 04-25-2010, 06:38 PM

car was abandon , and has leak at the windshield gasket....is what i guess

...I hope you had some sort of mask on to protect yourself. Mold is not a good thing to be around.

Love that old school shifter!

Rather drive a Civic than that crap. It had to be flooded at one time. Are you sure there's a V12 under the 'hood'? Might be one of those 'kit car' with a Ford engine in there

That's true. I bet it's a Fiero with a body kit.

Ew. That is gross. I hope they're paying you a pretty penny. Personally, I'd stay away from that. Good luck.

Cheers.

I think removing the surface mold is not enough and you'll have to dig down into the cushion kinda like carpet.
