Since I haven't done anything on the outside, figured I might as well show the inside since I've never really posted interior pics before. The weather in KS has been WAY to nice this time of year and that meant I was able to give the Explorer a good cleaning.
The seats are almost as good as new except the drivers seat which shows wear, but the flash makes it look worse than it is. In person it's actually pretty good for the miles it has(150,000). And yes, I need a new drivers floor mat

I missed that class too!
Mine cleans up pretty quick because the 2nd/3rd row seats spend about 95% of their life folded down with a blanket on top for my dog. The center console is what kills me because it holds so much. Always funny to dig through there after a year and be like, "damn, I've been looking all over for that!"

If you bought yours used I would suggest removing the 3rd row and cleaning under it...you wouldn't believe what I found under mine.
But I'm like you, both my 3rd row and 2nd are always folded down, that's why I removed the 3rd and am still in the process of building

I cleaned under there today

Should switch to the tubular running boards and get a brush guard for starters!

Personally I've always preferred the look of his running boards over the tubular ones that mine has.

Super clean truck Radeon
