ADWA: That is the system of choice for most deaslerships. We clean the odd one they have a problem with. It also leaves a strong odour after cleaning.

Doug that was a discussion I had this week from a detailer. They are sick to death with the foam system because the owners complain about the interior getting dirty to fast and also they need and want hot water extraction to get the grease and grim off of the floors. He will be in for training this week, maybe I should book it for the 19th. This event should be an eye opener for the guy.

Mr. Steamer: Most detailers I think still use the KorKay foam system to clean cars. Brush it on vac it off.

Mr. Steamer: I freeze dry them. Then in the summer the owner can thaw then out and dry them. I have done them in my shop. Too much hastle I just send them to a car detailer.

You can use chemspec Dry Clean on the seats ...that works great... and then just steam clean the carpet.... I guess it all depends on how dirty the car is.... unless they are complaining about the dry time...who cares... give them a heafty bag to but over the wet seat...lol |

Splash, I guarantee you will not get two hour dry times with the psi's others are recommending. Try it out for yourself. The more you work the solution in by hand, the less psi you have to use. There is not much square footage in a vehicle so you should be able to scrub quick. I was able to spray down and scrub a car in less than 15 minutes. It is a trade off. More psi means less elbow grease needed, but much longer dry times. Jackblack, Sorry for the ambiguity. You can lightly spray with straight water or acid rinse (without injecting into the foam and carpet since this greatly increases drying times) and then extract. |

If you know what is good for you get it dry as quickly as possible

Who in their right mind would clean upholstery with a stair tool? And who in this thread said they did? Did I miss something? |

splash_$$$_dash The only way I would ever clean a car seat is with a Stealth Dry Tool that has an internal water jet. Chop stroke only and never lift the tool to spray. This way you never get the windows, dash and your clothing all wet. And the PSI won't matter as the tool handles the pressure automatically. P.S. |
