Hello!!
Just bought a 94 es300 about a month ago. Got it for a steal of 1500 dollars LOL the guy needed money right away and i had it so bam. The car runs and drives excellent, air is so cold i have to turn the temp up lol, but this guy was a really big pig when it came to the interior]
I am kinda **** about interior cleanliness and this is erking my last nerve
i spent over 9 hours cleaning and cleaning the interior and it looks 150% better everything looks like new, however im having a bit of a BO odor problem. Seems Mr. Pig had spilled numerous things all over the carpet, rear seat and carpet right from and neglected to clean it up.
It is a really bad odor, its like *** mixed with urine mixed with stale food. So i bought this odor eliminator thing offline for 30 bucks and it really worked amazingly, however now im left with a unrepairably stained carpet and a little bit of odor (i think another odor treatment will do it)
well heres my question. I used to have a honda civic and had replaced the carpet in it, i tried to buy the carpet for the lexus there but they dont make it, so i googled auto carpet and every site i looked at did not have it for the lexus es300. Does anyone know where i could find a good moulded carpet for my car? Responses are much appreciated!!

I'm going to move this to the Automotive Care & Detailing sub-forum where you should be able to get better responses from those who are more experience in that topic.

The interior pic doesn't look too bad. The wheel looks a bit hacked up. Clean up your passenger side floor. No reason for papers/crap to be thrown anywhere in the car. Whats the mileage?

You may have to remove the seats and half the interior, but if you remove the carpets and lay them out, you might use a home carpet scrubber to scrub it deep, then rinse well with a hose nozzle .
Then vacuum and scrub the floorboards, under the carpets, for any waste, dried sugars, or insect foods.
May take a couple of attempts, washing and allowing to dry, to get the nasty odors out.
(The are anti-animal waste products that work with most odors, like cat urine.)

You can try steam-cleaning the carpet. Don't forget the area under the seats. Move the seats forward, then back to clean the area underneath. You can have this done at any detail shop. Also the smell might be from the A/C. There are products out there for sanitizing A/C evaporators. And spray Fabreze on the roof headliners.
Also check the trunk for dead bodies.
$1,500 is too cheap.
