Detailing a Classic Corvette INTERIOR
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
At least once a year, I give the cabin of my 1976 Corvette a deep cleaning including removing the seats, getting rid of old papers and other junk in the storage compartment, etc.
The cabin or cockpit of the Corvette C3 is tiny compared to most modern cars, so removing the seats is almost mandatory if you want to do a thorough cleaning job.
Besides, dirt, dead bugs, and other stuff accumulate under them and the only way to properly clean the carpet is to have them off the vehicle.
Plus, not having them in while you clean the interior allows you to easily reach the storage area without pulling a muscle or damaging something while you contort your body so you can reach that area.
The T-tops also have to be removed for ease of access and to avoid bumping your head on them.
In this video, I cover all the steps necessary to make the Corvette interior look fresh and new again, and this project can be easily done over a weekend or even a few hours if that's all the time you can (or want to) spare.
And if you have any ideas or suggestions, please share them with the rest of us by posting a comment below.
Thank you for watching! 🙂👍

DISCLAIMER: Even though I like to wrench on my Corvettes and most of my videos are of a how-to nature, I am not responsible nor liable should you decide to follow my musings on the subject.
The repairs and other work I do are for my own benefit and entertainment, and even though my videos may appear to give technical how-to advice, that's not my intention.
Working on a vehicle is inherently dangerous. If you're not confident, qualified, or lack the tools to do the job correctly and safely, hire a licensed mechanic.

Thank you, Dave! I think it’s a great color combo and adds a bit of life to an otherwise dark interior. 😊👍🏻

I would detail my 69 coupe in similar fashion. Roof panels off, seats out. So much easier to clean. Also good time to lube the tracks and adjusting parts. Great video.

Your red vette is awesome. I also have a red vette, a 79. Looks just like yours but not in as good condition as yours. My interior is also different, mainly the dash guages and speedo. Now that it is nice and clean, you must drive it and get it dirty 🙂

Wow another great video thanks for making it. I love the videos of you working on that car I could watch for hours. After seeing how easy it is to pull the seats I will definitely do that this Spring to get a really thorough cleaning. I always think my car can’t possibly be any cleaner than it is until I see your videos and see there’s always room for improvement. Like you I enjoy doing it I find the tinkering with it is half the fun of having the car.

Dave, thank you so much for your comment and for watching my videos. I really consider all the tinkering, improvements, repairs, detailing, etc., a part of the ownership journey, and yes, that’s a huge part of the fun of owning a classic car. The time we enjoy wasting is not wasted time. Not sure who said that but I agree. Wishing you a great 2023 😊👍🏻
Hi I’m an avid watcher of all your videos . Your attention to detail is outstanding!! Was just wondering what products you use for the dash pad bezel and door panels thanks

Thank you, Anthony. I keep a variety of products handy, but most of the time I use Meguiar’s Quick Interior Detailer ( amzn.to/3VY4GWY ) and sometimes Weiman Leather Cleaner and Conditioner ( amzn.to/3iq5arj ). I’ve also used Chemical Guys VRP a couple of times ( amzn.to/3Gt5hdH ), although it’s a bit too shiny for my taste. The reason for my using conditioners is to keep the materials supple, not shiny. The main goal is to keep everything as clean as possible. Thank you for watching! 😊👍🏻
Enjoy your detailing video Do you have a video explaining your updated sound system?

Not hard at all. Just one terminal to unplug, remove all four nuts from under the car. Didn’t even have to lift the car to do so. 😊👍🏻
