Teaser...

I'm working on a 1998 Audi A4 Avant that comes to me every year absolutely trashed. As a bit of a teaser, I provide these two pictures. The car is only about half done right now so the full write-up will come tomorrow.

The silverish/beige colored seatbelts are almost black with 12 years of ground-in dirt...


Now? They're back to the color they are supposed to be.

Very nice clean up there. Looking forward to the full write up! What I wonder is how the hell a seatbelt can get so dirty...I've been in many older cars that don't have seatbelts nearly as bad as that.

So if you get this car every year, do you mean it get that amount of dirt in a year

Folks...write-up is delayed. My apologies but I got side-tracked before any after photos could be taken. I will be contacting the owner today to see if I can pop by her place and get some.

Thank you for your patience and kind words.
