  • Whew! That's a Lot of work!

    Working on my first detail today (http://www.meguiarsonline.com/forums...ad.php?t=44692) and i decided to pull the seats out to clean them as they were down right grody, pics dont show the half of it. Anyhow after about 3 hours of scrubbing in APC+ with a stiff brush by hand trying to get out the stains and sucking it back out with my shop vac i decided there had to be a better way. It dawned on me that I had a new short bristle DA carpet brush from ADS and i still hadnt gotten a chance to play with my new meguiars DA so i put them to work on the seats. All i can think to myself now is "why in the heck didnt i think of that this morning". It works like a charm! I would say it literally cut the scrubbing time to 10% and did a much better job of breaking up the stains. It literally turned the APC+ foam to a muddy brown with all the junk it was breaking loose. I went back over the areas i had already done and thought looked pretty good but doing it this way they look even better. I couldnt find anything in the forum search to reference anyone else doing this so i thought i would post up about it.

    The DA carpet brush is pretty cool.
    So which backing plate are you using?

      The one that came in the box with the DA. Seems to be working fine.

        Good to know, ADS suggested the 5" the W68DA is 5.75".
        Glad it works.

        It looks like a really cool product to have, I hope you take a few pics.

        Good luck with the rest of the detail.

            Nick, you should. I like mine a lot on stubborn stains. I may have to start using them all the time.
