damp and mould
alright
(think this is in the wrong place so if it is can you move it please)
i just bought a saxo as a project, i went to see the car and things were fine and i made a deal with the seller, two weeks later i went to collect the car and it was full of mould.
its all over the seats, carpet, dashboard, steering wheel and switches, i need it shifting
i had cleaned the thick off with interior shampoo and it was fine for a couple of days until it came back, i have put damp traps in as the carpet is damp
any advise could be great to help speed the process up
cheers

either get the money back, or just rip the entire interior out, give the shell a proper clean and source a new interior from a scrap car, might be easier cheaper and less smelly then cleaning it

You could probs get a new interior for like 50 quid though and you wouldnt have to lift a finger? I have a set of seats just sat in my spare room lol, you could have them for what 10 quid haha that would save a heap of work? theres loads of spares floating around!

if you take out the carpet you will probably find bucket loads of water under there.
