2008 Honda Odyssey Interior

I take a lot of pictures of pretty paint, and sometime I show pictures of an interior.  Sometimes I think there is a perception that all I do is paint.  While I am very good at paint, that shouldn't overshadow what can be done to an interior.  Afterall, you spend your time inside the car, not outside. So while the interior jobs aren't as glamorous and don't always make for the great photos, I do them, and I do them well.

In this case, the owner had just acquired the vehicle from a family member.  It likely hasn't been detailed ever in it's life.  It's been used to haul grandchildren, pets and all manner of travel gear.  The owner wanted a fresh start with the car.  There were not too many stains, so we elected for a mid-level service to restore the interior.
