Great thread, but the wrong forum for questions, the Hot topics and Frequently asked questions forum group would be for already established answers or articles that are popular topics of discussion.

For now we'll move this to Detailing 101

Not much to it really.

Be sure to thoroughly vacuum the interior first. Pretreat any heavily soiled areas with a spot cleaner or low foaming APC (I like using Meguiars APC+). I also use Folex in the solution tank of my LGM and it has worked well for me. Scrub the soiled ares with a carpet brush and extract. Repeat as needed.

It's also a very good idea to place fans blowing on the carpet over night to ensure they dry completely before sealing up the car.

Enjoy the Mytee! It's on my list of things to buy! :props:

LOL. Yeah, it's well worth the $90 I paid for it though and I haven't had a car I couldn't clean with it in over 2 years now. ;)

hearing you say that makes me want to go out and purchase another one . . . . in which i probably will. I used mine a lot so it finally broke, it's not that it was a piece of junk.

They make one that looks to be a little more heavy duty for cars and it's black. Wish they made one with a little more suction power though.

It's always a good idea to agitate a little with some apc and a scrubber then go to town with a extractor.

Nice . . . . so you got the basic one or you picked up the heated version? If it is heated, how do you like it?

Yes, it's the heated version. I think it works well considering the cost, but it still lacks the lift, psi, temp, hose length, and tank size of the big boys like Mytee or Aztek. For the amount of work I do it does the job, but I still plan on getting a real extractor soon. :props:

yeah the hose length can be a real pain. As for the tank size i don't mind emptying it out a couple times . . . . . my main concern is as you mentioned:

Heating ability
Lift
PSI

those things it does lack a little but for $90 or so you really can't expect much more then what you are getting. I would like a small portable powerful machine but with the economy here i don't think dropping $700+ on a extractor is a good move for me.
