This is by far the most requested video I've been getting. This definitely isn't one of the best videos I've done since I was at the customers location. But for now, it will do.
I personally use a McCulloch 1385 Steam Cleaner. At one point, I did have the VX5000 steamer but sold it.
I can tell you that the VX5000 does out beat the 1385 in every way possible, but I still get as good of results in the interior with the 1385.
So regardless of what type of interior you're cleaning, the McCulloch WILL be able to handle your needs.
If you think you need more power and need to upgrade, it's probably because you're technique isn't down set because I have been able to clean just about every type of interior with this steamer.

Hey just another good strategy if you're doing seats; ALWAYS do the drivers seat first so that it dries first assuming that they might be driving it soon.

+Detail Groove what's up bro, how long it takes you to do a complete interior by your self? ....you should give a try to use a drill with a brush attachment, that thing and the steamer should take you half of the time.

Carver Davis My tip if you are doing the carpet take out both driver and passenger seats and clean them first out of the car. Now move to the carpet witch is a lot easier to do with the seats out by the time you done the carpet the seats will be dry and you can throw them back in right away. Yes floor will still be wet but at least you can still drive it right way

It's more effective to apply your cleaner to the carpet/seat fibers first as oppose to steaming them first. The reason being is, if you saturate the fibers with steam (water) first, it can no longer absorb the all purpose cleaner. It's like trying to add water to a sponge that's already holding water. Just FYI for all, free of charge this time.

@@ericvasquez3325 how are they absorbed? Most of the plastic used in car interiors is polypropylene, which is nonporous…which means its literally impossible for anything to “absorb” into it…besides that…the reason plastics crack in cars is the complete opposite of what you said. They crack from being too DRY, caused by the sun/heat combined with poor or no regular cleaning/conditioning, not from something absorbing into it..absorbtion of liquid does the opposite of causing something to dry out..

This is the long way of doing it. Here's what I like to do 1) vacuum the area thoroughly 2) do the steaming if you have a steamer 2) spray your shampoo on the affected area and let soak for 1min. 3) grab a drill with a drill brush attachment and use the drill to brush the seat instead of using of ur hand a brush which takes alot longer and doesn't do a good job. 4) mop the area with a towel or vacuum or use a carpet extractor machine

Thanks for the video. I used to do detailing almost 30 years ago! forgotten most of it. The problem with doing detailing without some sort of extractor is that the APC is still in the seat fabric. I could not afford a steamer back in the day, so I would scrub with APC and then use a bucket of soap and shampoo and lightly saturate the seat with water, scrub around and then immediately vacuum up so it didn't soak into the seat too much. Not perfect, but IMHO much better than the ghetto hack of simply spraying APC and scrubbing, especially if someone is getting paid to clean the car. It's not getting clean. The APC will get some of the surface stuff and the appearance of clean but really need some way to extract. Now, I would buy a hot water extractor.

Thanks for the kind words! Yes, the steamer can definitely speed up the cleaning time. That doesn't mean I use it every single time, but it does come in handy a lot of times (especially on cloth seats). But before you buy a steamer, try and get faster with what you have. Just because you buy more tools doesn't mean you'll be faster

The great thing about having your business is it's your own business. You know how many people say I should get an extractor, an air compressor, a Tornadaor, the Rupes 21, etc... If I take everyone's suggestions, I'll end up with a super-packed van hauling 20 different things around. In an ideal world, having an extractor/steamer is what you want. But I'm working with what I have. And for now, I choose to just carry a steamer over an extractor. And plus, if the customers are happy with the results, that's really all that matters

First of all, it's going to SUCK. I'm in Houston, the heat will kill me. So of course, before the detailing, you have to set yourself up right. I wear a hat, sun glasses, sun screen, and drink water. You can somewhat use this strategy here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/preghrFpz5O7gac.html&index=2&list=PLX3W8cCVn5IeJMX0mWkptNoUPoy8HdjIy You might have to change the car around so the sun isn't hitting it. Perhaps lay a damp towel over the area you're about to polish.. it's a pain to handle

Is it weird that I use a steamer and then vac it up with a bissel spot cleaner? Seems to work well when I get an area very wet. Some of the most dirt I’ve extracted was like that

Hey Oscar, what is this "air mover" you speak off? Can you link to the one you are considering buying?

It's something like this: www.homedepot.com/p/RIDGID-600-CFM-Blower-Fan-Air-Mover-with-Daisy-Chain-AM2265/301703580 If you look around your local janitorial or carpet cleaning stores, you can probably get some for much cheaper (used of course). They're super compact and effective

Would it be better to spray some APC first before agitating the seats with the steamer? Or not much difference when you don't pretreat it?

I do both. Just depends. It's one of those try it out and see what you like

My understanding is that the steam opens up the fibers so I'm thinking maybe steaming first allows the product to penetrate deeper?

how come you dont use a carpet spot cleaner/extractor oscar? would that be easier since it sprays with cleaner and then sucks it out? I am having a hard time deciding what to buy on amazon, a steamer or a carpet spot cleaner or brushes

In an ideal situation, you'd want both. However, a steamer is SOOOOOO much more versatile than an extractor. I have a small mobile rig, so space is a premium. I can't carry every tool under the sun. The steamer gets the results my customers want. So that's that

It definitely doesn't hurt to apply it if you have it on hand. I've never used that product but there are plenty out there that are designed to do the same thing.
