Interior Rejuvenation Detail

Over time UV damage can dry out interior surfaces causing discoloration and cracking. Interior protectants not only provide protection from the sun but they also provide protection against body oils and skin care lotions helping to prevent interior staining.

• A quick interior detail is performed
• Carpet and upholstery will be thoroughly cleaned using a hot water extractor.
• Interior trim is thoroughly steam cleaned.
• Interior trim is treated using a UV protectant.
• Leather will be gently cleaned using PH balanced leather cleaner, followed by leather protectant.

Equipment:
16 gallon 6.5 horsepower Shop Vac
Mytee HP60 Hot Water Extractor
Metro Vac N Blo
Daimer 300CS Steam Cleaner

Products:
Optimum Power Clean 6/1
Optimum Protectant Plus

I purchased my extractor last year and before that I was cleaning interiors by hand for three yeas so I feel your pain. No matter how many towels I used it seemed like I could never get all of the dirt out of the carpet.

Thank you for watching. This was my first attempt at filming an interior detailing video and I learned a few things in the process.
 
Love the videos. Please keep them coming.

Thanks for the compliment. I have a Toyota Prius scheduled for a paint correction next weekend and plan to film another detailing video.
 
Your not the only one, I now want a steamer (for starters)

But first a Flex, so I can dedicate my PC for headlights (got the idea from your video

Thank You,

I wanted a Flex DA polisher when I started detailing but had to settle for the more budget friendly PC. Have you considered buying a Rupes polisher? I never did get around to buying a Flex or trying one for that matter. However I did buy a Rupes the other month and love it.

Both machines are more than capable and I think it is a matter of preference. Are there any long time Flex users that converted to the Rupes 15 or 21 polisher?
 
I tried both for about 5-10 minutes each. and really liked the Rupes.

However my next purchase is going to be a Flex, I got swayed that way. (Mostly because of the forced rotation)

I'll probably buy the Rupes too (in the long run) :D

^I would like the same question answered as well. Who has converted.

I need to team up with an interior Detailer, so we can specialize on the whole car.

You can't go wrong with Flex. I have been using the Flex 3403 rotary polisher years.
 
Repping the Optimum love! I love that 1-2 combo as well.

Thank you for the compliment.
 
I'm on the brink of purchasing a vx 5000 steamer and I guess you would be the one to ask this question. Is the steamer able do thoroughly clean stuff grease and gunk out of carpets?
