Good day to all!
My current interior Arsenal is pretty basic right now.
I rock a ridgid portable shop vac and a McCulloch 1375 steam cleaner and I have interior micro fiber towels.
I normally do a thorough vacuum and start steaming the upholstery and carpet. If there were some stains I would spray down with griots interior cleaner and scrub with a brush.
After I would steam the pre treated areas with a towel clamped onto the steam wand. I would vacuum after that as the steam helps separate the carpet fibers and loosens up more sand and dirt as I feel is the case.
Anyway here is what happened
Before:View attachment 42043
After:
Mind you, as you judge the after picture the carpet was still a bit damp from the scrubbing and such.
At any rate, the owner felt more than pleased fortunately. However, I was ashamed to call myself a Detailer as I thought I was able to have it come out better. SAD FACE!

what would YOU have done different as far as method and product.
Would a matter or dupray steamer done better.
My guess is a hot water extractor should have been used but I don't have one at the moment.
PLEASE AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME!
