Hey
What do you guys/girls use to get the cracks and crevices in the interior clean? I have brushes and a cheap steamer (not a pro kind). I am going to have a customer who is very particular about this, and if I impress her... LOTS of business will come my way. Also, with a steamer... how does it NOT damage any plastic panels with the heat? Isn't steam created at 212 F? Seems kind of hot for interior materials. TIA

For dry stuff, I use a soft bristled boar's hair brush to brush debris out of cracks and crevices to where they can be vacuumed up. For dirt or stickier messes I use a soft bristled toothbrush or a Q-tip dipped in APC to clean and a MF dampened with water for "rinsing" and a dry one for drying. I personally wouldn't use a steam cleaner on plastic pieces for the reasons you stated. Just my 2 cents. :)
 
I use the vacuum brush attachment and a APC. Works do good. I then come back with a MF towel. I don't know what I'd do without my vac's brush!

I also use this......ALOT!!!

The slider makes the bristles longer or shorter and stiffer. Awesome brush!!!

Bummer they don't make it anymore...:(
 
I have a big assortment of brushes.. but I also use the slidelock brush that Justin posted. That thing is a GREAT tool.. I picked up 2 of them from Big Lots when they were being disco'd.
 
there is a set of three brushes that come in a kit made by Black Magic, available at Walmart or the like. It comes with a horse hair brush (like the one Justin showed us), an airconditioner vent brush, and another all purpose brush with stiffer nylon bristles. these seem to do it for me.

Really? I saw af ew a Big Lots a few months back. I could double check if you are interested in one.
 
mmm....I guess I should stop throwing away the old tooth brushes, I'm already using one to clean the pads hehehe
 
I'm going to Biglots in a few minutes... I'll see what goodies I can find! Thanks!
 
Not sure if you are talking about just surface type areas or if you are trying to get inside air vents and other areas that are recessed. If so Pimp Styxxx are a very valuable item.

Dude visit your local BIG LOTS. You can buy all you want for $3.99 a pop ;)

Matter of fact, I purchased every brush MEGS gold class had to offer from BL and it only came out to be right @ $27.00

TireBrush, WheelBrush, Body Brush, Slider Brush, Carpet Brush. All that and 2 MF's.

Went to big lots and they are out of that brush. I got some other misc. brushes that should work though. Thanks

my big lots has a very poor selection. a few old turtle wax products - that is it.:confused:
disappointing.
guess i will have to keep checking on them. had no idea that they had meg's stuff until you guys mentioned it, so maybe one day will be as fortunate! keep me posted on what you guys find! thank you, every one!

i would have bought the sliding brush justin showed us. but i got one (a brush) in an ag order - different, of course, so i am set.
