Ferrari Testarossa 88 , interior , mold attack!

the car was neglected, got some water too and the result was ....see the before pictures: mold everywhere: doors , dash , seats , trims , everywhere!
all being leather i went with 2 passes of meguiar`s leather cleaner conditioner and a soft brush, the towels i wipe with had some green dirt of them after wipe.
plastic trims got meguiar`s m40 , and some of them optimum protectant.
Main focus was to bring interior in a better shape,and even with that the leather may need some more work.the car is a project and will see some body work too. NO Paint Correction here , was just wash with onr and got some wax s100.
seats and doors has a lot of scuffed in the leather.
sorry guys , no car show here! just some light improvement in interior.
total time 5 hours 1/2

Leather Master's ' Mold Remover' (N-Nubuck / Alcantara®) (A-Aniline / Non-Coated) (P-Protected / Coated) you may notice dark or white blotches where two areas of the leather touch or areas not used. If the contamination is not removed, the fungus will dissolve the leather, forming small pits.

Just like mould and mildew contamination in other areas, you cannot wash or shampoo it away. This only makes the problem worse. The fungus is caused by living organisms that must be killed before the leather is cleaned. This product is effective on most forms of bacterial or fungus growth.
