Here is the Interior Rejuvenation Detail video from the Toyota Prius. I wanted to film a "how to" video on cleaning upholstery with a hot water carpet extractor. The first extraction pass is with a traffic lane cleaner and the second extraction pass is with an acid fiber rinse. Extractor -...

The Vapor Clean Pro5 has a 1.8 liter tank while a similar steamer like the VX5000 has a 4 liter tank. If you go with the Vapor Pro6 you will never have to worry about running out of steam. I would spend the extra money and get the Pro6 so you are prepared for any detailing job. I have...

Thank you for the compliment. I cannot take all of the credit though. My brother helps me out on some of the shots while I am detailing the vehicle. I spent quite a bit of time honing my editing skills on my snowboarding movies last season. Each time I edit a movie I learn a little bit more...

With careful planning I too could probably get by with a non-continuous fill boiler steam cleaner. However I don’t want to have to monitor the minutes of steam left on each tank during a detail. I also use my steam cleaner to clean area rugs and hardwood floors around the house. Hey as...

Thank you. Black is definitely an unforgiving color when it comes to paint defects. I polished a black 2012 Subaru Outback the other month and was able to remove all of the swirls and most of the RIDS. Subaru paint has soft clear coat so it corrects nicely but maintaining the soft black paint...

Thank you and you're welcome. I bought my steam cleaner two years ago and thought that I saw the VX5000 being sold for $500 instead of $800. That is quite the markup on a steam cleaner that appears to be unchanged over the years. The Daimer 300CS that I have looks nothing like the current...

That is some serious pressure! What is the cost on one of one of those steam cleaners? I couldn't find a price online but if I had to guess I would say around $3,000. Thank you. Dupray makes an excellent steam cleaner. I really wanted to buy the Dupray Super Inox but couldn't justify the...

Are you afraid of damaging the surface or getting burned? I still get burned occasionally when I let off the trigger and the condensation drips out of the nozzle.

Thank you. I am pretty excited about a potential black Subaru STI paint correction video in the near future. The level of correction really depends on the vehicle and how severe the paint defects are. Yes 40%-60% correction is low for a well maintained vehicle but for a neglected or "hacked"...

Minor Paint Correction Single stage machine polish removes light swirls, scratches, oxidation and water spots from the paintwork restoring gloss. Machine polishing is performed in addition to a decontamination detail and removes 40% - 60% of paint defects. Products: Detailers Pro...

You're welcome. Be sure to check out my new detailing article for more information about steam cleaners.

Thank you. I hope this article helps anyone in the market for a steam cleaner make an informed purchase. I looked for the Vapamore MX-1000 and could not find such a steam cleaner. Did you mean the Vapamore MR-1000 and if so it looks like a very nice steam cleaner. The MR-1000 has a maximum...

There are definitely different classifications for steam cleaners: consumer, commercial and Industrial. Each which have their place. For personal use, a consumer grade steam cleaner will work just fine. However I would not recommend a consumer grade steam cleaner to a professional detailer...

It sounds like you did remove all of the product then. A steam cleaner may soften the carpet fiber back up but in the mean time you can try brushing the carpet with a stiff nylon brush. You could also try using an acid rinse product such as Chemspec - All Fiber Rinse. The only down side to...

Yep, you will find that Consumer grade steam cleaners typically produce steam with a maximum temperature of 200F and commercial grade steam cleaners produce steam with a maximum temperature of over 300F. The hotter steam of a commercial grade steam cleaner has less humidity than the cooler...

It sounds like you didn't remove all of the product from the carpet fibers and that is what is causing the stiff carpet. What product did you use? You may want to try using a rinseless upholstery cleaner such as Folex.

This is definitely one of the more efficient ways to clean leather. Feel free to repost or retweet this video. I added this video to my interior services page on my website to help potential customers better understand the detailing process. Sometimes customers are shocked not by the cost but...

Thank you. Optimum Power Clean diluted 6/1. That is how I felt until I bought my Rupes polisher the other month. Steamers are also great for cleaning door jambs and cup holders that have been holding more than drinks. It is always a treat when a cup holder is filled with melted candy and...

I used the same method featured in my leather cleaning video to clean these Cadillac Escalade seats.
