2:16Alex removes the driver's competition seat to inspect wet carpeting and the control modules underneath.
3:25Will tests steam cleaning on soot-covered leather, revealing the yellow-and-black finish beneath.
12:08Cleaning moves to the driver's door panel, center console and closely packed controls.
15:39Heavy soot on the glass between the cabin and engine bay wipes away with cleaner.
17:47With the passenger seat removed, Alex checks damp areas, modules and harness connections.

Steam lifts the soot, and the yellow-and-black leather underneath gives Alex Palmeri reason to stop and stare. "Are you kidding me? It seriously looks brand new," he says as Will from Will's Garage works through the Corvette's damaged interior.

LegitStreetCars' only upload of the week moves the auction-bought C8 Z06 from an expensive question mark into hands-on restoration. The running-and-driving update has reached about 1.3 million views. But some of its most revealing work is quieter: removing seats, pulling back wet carpeting and checking the modules and connectors beneath it.

Will's approach is deliberately gentle. He wants the carbon and ash off the surface without damaging the leather underneath. Steam, brushes and cleaner expose what can be saved, while the yellowed carbon-fiber trim presents a different question. In the comments, viewers debate whether to preserve some of that altered finish, peel away the exterior protection or try dry-ice cleaning. Several also single out editor Max for assembling such a substantial episode. The video includes an auction-business promotional segment between the workshop sequences.

The Z06 update is the channel's busiest individual video for daily views, followed by its purchase episode and September's abandoned SL65 AMG rescue. Across the channel, daily viewing is below its usual level, and subscribers were unchanged over the week. Even so, weekly views totaled roughly 2.6 million, a substantial audience among nearby-sized motoring channels; Dave's Auto Center had a particularly busy week.

For Alex, the Corvette's next layer of detective work lies beneath the newly cleaned surfaces: wet carpets, electrical connections and the question of what survived alongside that leather.

I say keep at least the steering wheel, the yellowed carbon looks pretty cool. And it’d be a nice homage to the beginning of the car. Idk if the stripe is supposed to be white or if it’s color matched. But that brown stripe with the yellowed carbon looks sweet
