To make a long story short, I joined the crew team here at college. People are too lazy to drive their cars to practice, so somehow I always end up driving mine.

NOBODY is even trying to take care of the car, or be careful about dirt, etc. They soak the seats through with water, get dirt everywhere, put their feet on everything, slam the doors, jam the seats (cause they don't know how to get them to lean forward).... Needless to say, I am DONE driving my car to practice. It's not made for four people, let alone three who can't respect it like it should be. I'm taking out the rear seats because I absolutely DO NOT want people back there anymore. I worked my @$$ off for this car, and I won't let it be trashed! </rant: off>

So, over the course of 2 weeks I've accumulated a bunch of scratches on the plastic (especially the back part of the console, and bottom of door panels, and a musty smell from wet bodies being in the car.

What's the best way to make the scratches look better and get the car smelling new again?

For the scratches, get a black crayon and use it lightly to fill in scratches. Follow with Armor All/Meguiars/Zaino interior treatment.

For the smell, buy or borrow a small steam cleaner. That will get everything out. Follow with some Febreeze. After a few more days, vacuum it out really good and go to town with a can of Scotch-gard upholstery protector.

HAHA, I totally feel you. That's why my back seats came out.
