Steam cleaning and auto detailing. The two MOST DEFINITELY go hand in hand. On almost every detail we perform at Hawk Pro Detailing, we use steam. Check out the video to see what we use -- and why!

Just used a steamer for the first time today to deep clean my car interior. In a word.......AWESOME. Used your advice. Work quickly when using around leather, vinyl. Perfect. Nothing got too hot, nothing damaged. Did not use around instrumentation. Where it shined---DOOR JAMBS! Good freakin' gosh man......emulsified the dirt in short order. Another area. FABRICS and CARPETS. WOW. Deep cleans those suckers like no other can and probably sterilized them too! Granted, I only have the McCullough, but i'm just a weekend driveway detailer and will never use it professionally so the McCullough works perfectly fine for me. Came with so many attachments i'll never use them, but the two main ones to have are the Triangle head, and the spray tip head. I used those extensively. And I wrapped the triangle with a microfiber for use on all the fabrics. Fantastic. Two enthusiastic thumbs up for a steamer in car detailing. One of the best "tools" or "toys" you can get for detailing. My second most useful tool for interiors is my George numatic extractor. I love that thing and it truly sucks out some incredible amounts of GUNK you never see with the naked eye. I don't care how much you clean, scrub with a brush, wipe with a microfiber, it doesn't matter. When you suck out that crap with an extractor and pour out that BLACK WATER, you realize you must have an extractor for effective deep cleaning of fabrics/carpets/mats.

You need to mention how steam will kill flea eggs, bacteria. Some people have their pets loose in their car, so the steam is absolutely the most effective and nontoxic way to get something clean.

Like the examples. Noticed you said that you use Bead Maker on the door kick plate. Even if you knock it down with a microfiber towel, aren't you concerned about the plastic being slippery for the customer because of the slickness Bead Maker leaves behind. Maybe a plastic trim dressing like Stoner Trim Shine or the equivalent would be safer.

@@HawkProDetailing Sure of course, especially when using the gun attachment, I make sure it doesn't touch any plastics being a brass tip can melt into it. Same goes with any machine if not used the right way. I have had some burns though but that's part and parcel of the job, some people tell me it's a problem with dashboard consoles as the steam can get behind the Speedo and fog it up, but I have never had a problem with that. Obviously I don't put alot of steam down, and like you said move it around quickly. I mainly use it for seating and flooring with the flat plate and micro fibre plus using the gun on the air vents. I am careful with leather though and prefer to use the steam gun after using a magic eraser with some APC.

How long can you go using the chief steamer before it Hass to warm back up? where would you suggest purchasing one and what are your thoughts on the 125 model. Thanks for the videos.

@HawkProDetailing 4 жыл бұрын

Chief Steamer has a slight edge over VX5000 in my mind. I love my current model. Just keep pouring water into basin periodically and it pretty much runs like a champ. If you steam like crazy for a minute or two STRAIGHT it sometimes needs to catch up. But if you are steaming, wiping, steaming etc it just keeps on ticking

If steam at the temperature of boiling water can hurt anything on the interior of a car, then the materials are definitely inferior. In electronics water, or rather water with impurities, can cause problems and with cheap little motors like the steppers in gauges. But the truth is that in manufacturing everything is exposed to temperatures of 250 deg or so in the solder reflow process then cleaning in dishwashers. If the car interior is hot with some air circulation the water will evaporate from everyting. Hot like heater on full for 30 minutes while idling without recirculation.

Holy shit man I’ve been thinking about buying a steam cleaner I’m definitly getting one now!! NO CHEMICALS YOOOO that’s nuts man!! I started my company about 4 months ago and have been using chemicals and rag for all that ahah thanks for making this video! Is the vc5000 the way to go?

+The Canadian Champ the VX5000 is definitely a solid choice! I use mine every day:) Buy it from amazon off my affiliate link if you wanna support me 😂but otherwise yeah vx is great. Good luck man! Just be careful with a steamer, move your hand quickly because if you let steamer dwell too long on rubber or plastics you can do some damage

@zenon3021 7 ай бұрын

steam works really well on windows if you follow it up with Rag Company Gauntlet microfiber towel (no streaks). Other window towels work, but the Gauntlet's my fave. I use the small size for windows and the 20x30 for exterior drying.
