I'm not going to be negative but I just want to know what everyone thinks about this. Please reply and give me your opinions. I have an entire different process for interiors. Would you, or do you ever use this method?

Re: Check out how this guy cleans interiors
Wow...Originally posted by BluelineI own a silver vehicle and a black vehicle owns me. The black one demands attention, washing, detailing, waxing and an occasional dinner out at a nice restaurant. The silver one demands nothing and it looks just fine. I think the black vehicle is taking advantage of me, and the silver car is more my style. We can go out for a drive without her makeup and she looks fine. If I want to take the black one out, it is three or four hours in the "bathroom" to get ready.

Some 3000 cars like that! You have got to be kidding me. If that was my car I would go nuts.

Re: Check out how this guy cleans interiors
Exactly what I was thinking about the electronics under the carpets and seats. He taped the amp with masking tape and a microfiber towel and said it was waterproof in video part 1. I was just shocked that he had so many videos and customers. That's why I didn't want to be negative because obviously they like him for a reason. I watched some of the other videos like how to restore plastic. I think he just sprayed a large amount of dressing and let it sit for about 15 minutes. Like I said, he must be doing something right.

Re: Check out how this guy cleans interiors
He's a hack that's just cutting corners. I have used a pressure washer on carpets, but not without removing the carpet first. Nylon automotive carpets with the vinyl backing are tough and pressure washing is just as effective as he says, but the only reason he's not unbolting the seats, sill trim and pulling the carpet out is to save time. What I do if I'm not pulling the carpet, is just use compressed air. I use a high-capacity air compressor and blow gun. You need a minimum of 10 cfm at 90psi to keep up, and about twice that for 100% duty-cycle. But compressed air is great for blowing out upholstery, carpets, dash, consoles, and door trim. It will often blow stuff loose that a vacuum won't get without brushing and rubbing. I usually vacuum loose dirt first to minimize blowing dust, then blow it out, and finish vacuuming what got blown loose by not quite out the door. Then wipe down hard surfaces and dress vinyl, leather etc.
Compressed air is also the best method to dry the outside of a car or motorcycle. Blowers (shop vac or leaf blowers) are effective for much less investment, but high-volume compressed air is the best if you can afford the source. I use an engine powered compressor now, but I'd like an electric. My house doesn't have 3-phase power, but if I was equipping a shop, I'd get one of those rotary screw type compressors. The typhoon blow guns are good.
