Back To Work Reset Challenge：What’s the Worst to Clean? (Poll + Tips + Prizes)

[3Wliners]

Alright y’all…
Back-to-work season is officially here, but let’s be real — some of our cars are still stuck in holiday mode
If your interior looks like it survived a road trip, winter weather, and a full-on snack war… you’re not alone.
After the holidays, motivation is low, daylight is short, and a deep interior clean feels like an all-day commitment.
So instead of pretending we’ve got it together, let’s make this a no-judgement reset thread.
Show us the mess or show us the comeback.
And if you’ve already cleaned your ride, drop some wisdom for the rest of us.

Vote first — then tell us why in the comments. Bonus points for pain stories

How You Can Jump In:
Pick one… or do all three if you’re feeling bold:
The Comeback
Before & after interior shots, or just describe how bad it was and how you fixed it.
The Horror Show
Your most “holiday mode” interior pic.
No shame. No judgement. We’ve seen worse.
Quick-Clean Hacks
What’s your go-to shortcut when you don’t have time for a full detail?
Tools, products, routines — anything that actually works.

Alright, let’s see who’s still recovering from the holidays and who already got their interior back under control
Drop a vote, post a pic, or just vent in the comments.

Didn't snag pictures of the interior, but for me with no kids and OCD, my ride does not stay dirty too long. My typical routine is below. For spot cleaning, like bugs and bird doo, I use the McKees linked below in a spray bottle diluted with distilled water and a microfiber.

Exterior is McKees with a bucket of distilled water and lambskin mit.
303 on the tires.
Megs on the interior plastics, light coat. I don't like shiny interiors.
Woflbox and a shop vac for cleaning up dirt and debris.
SimpleGreen on the floor mats and wheel wells. Diluted of course.
