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.

I voted for the pet hair, paw prints only, because I've seen them in my wife's and daughters' vehicles.

My Bronco Sport is mostly a driveway King, and the no pets allowed rule is strictly enforced.

Bah humbug, Mr Grinch. Pets are always allowed in my Bronco Sport.
I'm not sure it would be legal to transport pets on my hitch mount cargo carrier, so I'm sticking with the no pets allowed rule for now! Once I get my roof rack installed, I'll check into the legalities of both....lol

OP definitely isn’t in the snow belt area. Hahah. We got 20” of snow since January 2. I’ve still got three months of worrying about this stuff. 🤣

Pet hair & salt stains. My wife & I grew up in NJ & they loved to salt the s**t out of the roads, & we used to always have one of our Siberian Huskies in her Explorer. Now we live in SW Va & have almost no snow & the only time our cat goes in her BS/BB is when she is in the cat carrier.

Cottonwood sap on the windshield. I still haven't figured out how to clean it off.
