Detailing Extremely Dirty Vehicles Without Wasting TIME | Money Matters!

all right guys we are checking out my step-by-step detailing process for extremely dirty vehicles this is a toyota camry it's the interior of this camry and while i'm shaking the camera probably a little too much don't get dizzy on me i just want to show you guys the before of this car before we dive into detailing the interior and really highlighting what these steps are that are going to take to get this from dirty to clean and we're obviously going to also touch on the business side now this is something that i really want to highlight in this video because you might recognize this vehicle this is actually a camry that i detail once a year and you guys can probably see why basically the way the owner of this vehicle looks at it is hey i'm going to detail it once a year and so we're just going to hit the reset button once a year it's going to get really dirty in between those dates but nonetheless i'm going to get to hit the reset button once a year with this vehicle but i also really want to dive in to the business side here and how you talk to customers in a way where it really creates a win-win because these situations often are difficult to create win wins within and there are often situations that you find in the beginning of your detailing business and so while i don't detail cars like this on a regular basis anymore i certainly used to and many guys get discouraged because this is all they are seeing and so i want to talk about some business strategies that you can implement in order to make this easier on yourself as well now this particular video is actually uh of this again this toyota camry that i detailed a little while ago but once again i want to kind of add a new flare to this video that i think is going to be really helpful for you guys so let's just start off with the process here first of all i am always starting going kind of outside in when i'm dealing with really dirty vehicles i always keep a certain perspective when i'm detailing dirty vehicles and while i think a lot of times i probably touch on like the psychological side of detailing i do that because i actually think this is a really important thing to discuss that i don't think other detailers or maybe detailers focus on too much because not to their you know fault or anything like that they're just focused on different things and so one of the things that i like to focus on is the psychology behind getting a good detail done especially when you're in a position like this where the car is just a wreck because i think the default kind of psychological way to process this is ma'am this is going to take forever i don't know how i'm going to get it perfect you end up getting caught in certain areas in this what i call the cycle of never ending perfection meaning you're detailing a certain area that's never going to be perfected but you don't know where to draw the line between stopping and continuing to improve is and so those are all things that i want to address here now to keep in step with the video i want to make sure i talk about the of course process products and tools in each area so one of the main things you're going to be seeing me pull out but particularly you're seeing me pull it out here is the steamer that i'm using of course i use the vx5000 steamer but i always hook up in the youtube description box below links to the mcculloch steamers on amazon because the mcculloch steamers are beloved by auto detailers it's not one that i own or use but it's way less expensive than the one i use and it is apparently extremely effective most detailers actually use the mcculloch steamers now there's a certain kind of what i call like my three tools that i always have no matter what when i'm detailing door panels like this and i'm moving to the interior of a vehicle and these are three particular tools that i always have when i'm detailing really dirty vehicles that's gonna be number one my detailing brush set okay this is just gonna be your average detailing brushes but i always have two to four of different bristle length and stiffness and all that sort of stuff so that i can address varying scenarios so i always have my my detailing brush set i always have my non-abrasive scrub pads which are very simply just like little scrub pads that you'd use like at a kitchen sink but they're non-abrasive so these are the ones that you might use on like a non-stick pan so you don't scratch it this works fantastically not only on the hard plastics and kind of vinyls that you'll find on the different different differing materials of a door panel but it also works fantastically for things like leather it's not going to damage leather assuming the leather is not already damaged and kind of in bad condition so it just works on a variety of different materials making it a really appealing tool to use and then i'm also going to be using my magic erasers once again this is my exact step-by-step detailing process for extremely dirty vehicles so this is not going to be my regular every single day tools that i always bring with me this is the mac daddy maxed out stuff okay those are the three things that i'm pretty much going to be using on extremely dirty vehicles every time no matter what area i'm detailing assuming it's a it falls into that hard plastic rubber vinyl leather category now to give you guys a little bit of an insight here as i said i move from the outside in however i do this in sections in a lot of ways and so what i mean by that is while i did just detail the door the driver's side door and i'm moving in i'm not going to go to the other to the to the passenger side door or the back doors yet i'm not going to do the doors all at once simply because i'm trying to develop a system of maximum efficiency and kind of optimizing my process and so as i'm sitting here doing the driver's side door i might as well move inward to the steering wheel the the steering wheel driver's side dashboard speedometer console area radio you know buttons area simply because i'm going to be using the same tools and products on these areas as well because they're made up of the exact same materials more or less of the door panel itself this is what i call the hard rubber vinyl plastic leather category so it makes the most sense for me to go ahead and address these areas rather than picking up all of my stuff taking my detailing cart my steamer all of these things to the back part of the car that uh going around the other side uh in an effort to get all of the door panels or the interior doors done in one fell swoop it just makes the most sense for me to go ahead and move inward in this moment and address this area now one of the things you're going to see is the amount of time that i do spend detailing out kind of this particular area the steering wheel i'm pulling out for example a toothbrush right here this is one of those areas that i think people underestimate the amount of time it's going to take there are specific areas of every interior that i kind of nominate as like those time-consuming areas where i just sort of accept that that's where a large amount of like my brain cycles or like my focus is going to have to lie now this goes and kind of reaches into this detailing psychology that i talk about if you've ever noticed um i think one of the great things about this channel is that because i've detailed a lot of cars at this point and built a detailing business and just been detailing for a long time i really i think i just can relate a lot to like the general frustrations and like problem areas that detailers run into and maybe you guys don't experience this but like here's something that i've experienced in many ways when you're detailing really really dirty vehicles extremely dirty vehicles and these problem areas of certain cars that no matter what kind of vehicle it is it's a problem area it's going to take more time it takes even more time in that extremely dirty vehicle we tend to or at least i tend to build up the amount of time it's actually taking me whereas if i were to start like a stopwatch and then stop it when i was finished i would see that it actually didn't take quite as significant of an amount of amount of time as i built up in my head as i was detailing it out so while it feels in the moment as i'm detailing out this interior that each one of these areas is taking an ungodly amount of time and man this is just too much time too much time when i actually finish the detail what you realize is oh while yes this vehicle was exponentially more dirty than most vehicles i see it didn't add an exponential amount of time or an equally exponential amount of time to the detail there's a lot of reasons for that number one not all dirt is created equal so while there might be a ton there it doesn't necessarily mean it takes a ton of time to fix it okay secondly you get a lot more skilled as you see more vehicles and so while yes there is this like initial intimidation factor of seeing how dirty this vehicle is it actually again when you put a number to it numbers don't lie you can see oh wow this didn't actually take as long or as uh exponentially more than i thought it would part of that is because many of these processes that you see me walking through as i'm detailing here whether or not and this might be something you've noticed whether or not the vehicle is just kind of averagely dirty or way beyond averagely dirty most areas of the car probably borrowing something like carpet and upholstery you're actually going to implement very similar if not the same process to clean both of those conditions so while one is dealing with more dirt you are actually implementing in many ways the same exact process and therefore taking in many ways virtually the same amount of time while i could get into that a little bit deeper because i do think it kind of stresses an important detailing psychological detailing point i'll move on for the time being you guys see that the steamer is something that is coming in serious handy as i'm moving throughout this particular area of the car this is something i say all the time but i am always looking for products and tools in this case a tool that is high in versatility meaning i can use it on many different areas of the vehicle i can go through and use it uh without kind of thinking okay i don't have to implement a ton of focus i can just kind of use this tool to get exactly the result i want and i'm not having to think about using it on a ton of different materials or kind of be cautious more or less yes i'm obviously cautious around electronics and buttons and things like that but my the overall point i'm making is very simply that i know uh how a steamer is going to react in so many different situations and no matter what kind of material i'm using it on very used to using it on all types of material and so it's one of those products that can be used in virtually every area of the car which is why i'm such a proponent of steamers and of course like i said i'm going to hook up tools and products particularly say the steamers below uh in the youtube description box so you guys can see the ones i suggest you get if you are in the market for a steamer now you can see the non-abrasive scrub pad at work here this is where i was kind of talking about how while i can still you know i'm using it on leather and even though we have kind of a sense of leather being really fragile this non-abrasive scrub pad is going to be super gentle a lot more even sometimes than it sounds necessarily uh on leather again boring that the leather is not damaged or has some sort of really weak frame already for whatever reason but it ends up being a really effective tool when you're trying to clean leather in again extremely dirty vehicles now one of the issues that i really want to point out here and this kind of goes to that detailing psychology here because while yes you guys are seeing my exact process one of the pitfalls here that you're gonna find is that because with extremely dirty vehicles you are consistently having to detail out every single area of the car as you dive into this more detailed more detailed more detailed process you continue to find more areas of the car where you might not even be used to detailing that you didn't even know necessarily were there or you didn't know that those were areas that collected heavy amounts of dirt so one of those areas might be for example the area behind and below the uh seat belt buckle already that sits like on the driver's side it would be if you're facing the driver's seat it's going to be on that left side right in that crease between the back and the bottom of the seat itself that that that where you stick the seat belt into the seat belt buckle is um going to be extremely dirty it's actually the knot buckle itself although although that could be really dirty as well but it's actually that area that is kind of that corner or what would i say like corner piece uh to the seat where the seat belt buckle sits that is an area where if you kind of push down or peel back uh the layers and you kind of push back the seat you're going to see where all of that dirt has accrued that's going to be one of those areas another one of those areas appropriate to where we're looking in the video right now is this rubber gasketing that runs uh kind of between the door and where the door frame sits it's kind of like a waterproofing mechanism right that little rubber piece that can become almost feel like this never-ending waterfall of like mud as you're steaming it out because especially when you live on a farm like this car lives on and you live in you know people are getting in and out with especially when it's gravel driveway and not like an asphalt driveway this area is going to get particularly dirty and this is where it becomes really important to detail out the door jams really well because it's going to be much easier to clean those areas with something like a hose than it is a steamer but i'm just pointing out specific uh things that are going to probably end up frustrating you in the long run if you don't know how to go into the detail expecting these things it's kind of learning to expect these things to take a significant amount of the time with the detail in order to avoid getting really frustrated with it so you guys can see here this is speaking to what i was talking about before now i'm moving on to the door panel and essentially this area of the car after i'm now finished with the driver's side door all those door panels the steering wheel console radio dashboard all of that area is now finished and particularly the hard vinyl rubber leathers and plastic pieces of those areas now it makes sense for me to take my tools take my equipment all of that stuff move backwards to this area and detail out this area you can kind of divide the sedan into like four different quadrants if you just made like a tic tac or not tic-tac-toe if you just made a cross uh going directly on top of the car from a sort of bird's eye view you have the top left quadrant the bottom left quadrant top right quadrant and bottom left quadrant and of course i'm leaving out the trunk but just assuming we're leaving out the trunk for just a second you have these four quadrants i think in many ways and after trying a lot of different sequences when it comes to detailing processes trying out a lot of different things in my times detailing this ends up being the most effective for me looking at the vehicles this way it also allows me to properly separate which materials i'm going to detail out and go after in these sections for example right now like i've said i'm going after the hard vinyl rubber plastics and leathers whereas next i'm going to go back into these same exact quadrants and i'm going to be attacking the upholstery and particularly suede seats that we have in this scenario but this allows me to attack each one of these quadrants divided out by the materials i'm attacking and detailing and therefore keep very consistent tools no matter which part of the car i'm in so like i said the magic eraser steamer toothbrush detailing brushes non-abrasive scrub pads these are going to be appropriate for each area of each quadrant that i'm detailing out right now i'm therefore not having to walk back and forth to some detailing cart bucket whatever it is switching out my tools and wasting my time those things end up seriously becoming a time suck now all of that being said you guys are going to be able to kind of observe the rest of this detail the next thing we're going to jump into is the door jambs but until then you guys can just observe what this detail looks like so next thing door jambs but just a second until then okay so so so [Music] so now as far as process goes door jams are what i generally move to after i finish again what i you know quote unquote called the hard vinyl rubber plastic and leathers i like to move to the door jambs neck simply because as i'm especially dealing with the extremely dirty vehicle with the inevitable extremely dirty door jams i am going to want to be able to kind of flood the door jams with product and water just because it makes my life easier and this is one of those things that ends up becoming a really important way that you think about your detailing process i know that when i'm dealing with door jambs that are extremely dirty it is always easiest for me to just be able to spray a ton of product let the product do its thing scrub it as aggressively as i need to and then flood it with water just wash it all out right there are times when i'm dealing with door jams that are not quite as dirty and i can kind of just use a little bit of product use my steamer to kind of rinse it and then catch everything with a microfiber towel this is not one of those times and if i try to approach this these door jams or this time and again this kind of speaks to the psychological aspect of detailing if i try to approach this with a sort of waterless approach or you know i i don't know um more more what would i say tedious approach i'm just going to create more work for myself and kind of frustrate myself because what these door jams need are us like a bath they need a rinsing and so the reason why i'm uh kind of creating this process or this sequence in my detailing process is because i know i'm going to be using a ton of product to get these door jambs to where i want them to be i'm also going to be really just flooding them with water and when i'm doing this and this is probably the most important part in the midst of me doing this i don't want to have to sit there and be all concerned and be kind of tedious about where i'm spraying the water and make sure i get no overspray whatsoever inside and so what's end up what's going to end up happening here is i'm going to get some overspray on the carpets on the weather mats a little bit on the seats i might get some chemical and some water on all of those areas but i'm not going to get so much where it's going to hurt anything first of all and secondly as i get a little overspray on the doors that i already cleaned or on the backs of the seats that i already cleaned or on the console that i already cleaned all of that stuff that is going to be very easily fixed with my final wipe down and so it creates this perfect little p place to put the door jamb puzzle piece into my overall detailing process puzzle it's not going to hurt anything by getting a little water over spray a little chemical overspray on the areas that i've already cleaned namely those vinyl rubber leather plastics and then secondly when i get a little bit of overspray on the carpet and the suede i haven't yet cleaned them or even vacuumed them and so those are already going to be dirty and therefore i don't have to spend a bunch of brain cycles or or a bunch of focus and thinking about where my product is going where the water is going as i'm approaching the door jambs so my process here is super simple i'm using super clean diluted five to one spraying it soaking the door jambs every area there using my detail brush to agitate it the great thing about door jambs is and this is extremely important with extremely dirty vehicles like i said in the beginning when i was referencing the steering wheel there are specific areas that you will learn over time require more of your focus than others there are also and and equally i'm trying to think about the best way to say that there are equally areas on every single part of the vehicle regardless of the dirt level that will require very little attention the door jambs are what i consider one of those that require little attention because even when i'm dealing with really dirty door jams the type of dirt that's on the door jam is so easily removed sometimes by chemical alone that even though there might be more of it on there and this is a white vehicle so it shows everything i'm not having to work any harder in this particular scenario than if i was working with just an averagely dirty door jam on an averagely dirty car i'm going to approach it very similarly if not with the exact same process and approach and i'm going to basically be taking the same exact amount of time this is one of those kind of inconsistencies in the detailing world where more dirt in this area does not necessarily lead to more time and you can only really experience what i'm explaining here if you've detailed cars or if you go out and detail you kind of understand what i mean by that again this is one of those areas where your process and your approach really doesn't change and so whether or not they're pretty clean or pretty dirty you're really spending the same exact amount of time now we could go into detail and probably go down a rabbit hole into that concept and how important that is when you're pricing structure and how to think about that in a productive way in your business but i'm not going to do that right now as of right now the next thing we're going to be moving to after the door jambs are going to be vacuuming and shampooing the carpets so until then here's what this looks like so all right guys now we come to the hellish carpet or the impossible carpet that some people like to call it and obviously you guys can see that once again this is what i would categorize as extreme dirt now speaking from a psychological detailing level or point of view much like i keep referring back to the steering wheel in that the steering wheel is one of those things that um is going to take a little bit more focus a little bit more brain cycles a little bit more uh creative energy and probably experimentation to get the way you want it assuming that you're detailing it to you know what i would call the highest level of perfection that's possible this is yet again another area where this is going to remain true this is one of those areas where i want to set your expectation in a sort of again psychological detailing sort of way because if you don't set expectations properly here for yourself while i often talk about setting expectations for your customer it is just as necessary to do that for yourself so that you detail well at least with an attitude that doesn't make you frustrated by the time you're back at home and you get burned out on your business so what i mean by setting expectations here is i fully recognize going into this job that this is going to be a significant a very very significant time suck of this entire job this impossible carpeting is uh this is what i'm referring to here now you guys can see that i'm using a nylon stiff upholstery brush to basically aid my vacuuming here i would also suggest using drill brushes the round drill brushes in this particular case and just by the way guys um while yes i have my own drill brush set as well as a new one that is finally here in the united states and it's getting ready to be on amazon just so you guys know to set your expectation a little bit i've been waiting a lot of time for these drill brushes to come in and now that they're in i was all excited but because amazon is so backed up uh because of kovid 19 there's really no telling exactly when these brushes are going to be able to be bought because even the old set that i restocked there's basically 540 units that are that amazon doesn't really know where they are right now so uh they're very confused and uh while i'm assuming they will figure out eventually unfortunately this may be a case of saying like 2020 is kind of a wash with this kind of stuff that's not really inside my control so that's a little unfortunate but for those of you who don't yet uh have drill brushes you can purchase them on amazon in all different shapes and sizes and i suggest uh purchasing those round ones for a case like this because it's going to kick up that dirt and that debris that's stuck in the rat's nest of the impossible carpeting and it's going to make it much much easier in order to kind of vacuum out it's gonna kind of bring it out from under those bristles now you guys can probably guess this but the reason why this is reserved as you know what i would call one of the last steps to the detailing process is because the carpet is going to catch everything i'm detailing up until this point for no other reason than gravity right so everything that i'm doing is going to be caught by the carpet and for that reason i want to reserve it as one of the last steps of my detailing process much like i reserve glass cleaning to be one of the very last steps because the glass is so easy to get dirty and as i'm spraying chemicals it's going to catch certain things and all that sort of stuff so let's just break this down real fast because this is one of those hell holes that is just really frustrating to deal with the impossible carpeting is especially when it's dirty enough to where you have to extract it so a couple things to note here while yes i generally do not extract the impossible carpeting because the impossible carpeting is basically a piece of felt that's stretched and stapled over or glued to the bottom of the floor here there is a time to extract it when it gets as dirty as it was here and there is an argument i think that can be made that goes something like this impossible carpeting that's really really dirty and really really hard to deal with sometimes can be made much easier to deal with when you steam it and extract it because the steaming loosens up all the fibers and the extraction is going to more or less not just clean as far as like clean stains and that stuff kind of but it's also going to work as a sort of vacuum cleaner as well and when you're dealing with the impossible carpeting if you can kind of combine steaming chemical cleaning and vacuuming like in one step where you're getting all those things accomplished in one the reason i say that is because as you stir up the impossible carpeting with a steamer with a brush you just continue to stir up like an infinite amount of dust dirt and debris that's just continuously caught in this material and so if you can vacuum it at the same time as you're like stirring it up it's just going to help you and in many ways extracting ends up really becoming this sort of combination of those things and so for that reason while you're seeing me steam it at a really high level here i am going to extract it and you can see how much muddy water and kind of gross water is pulled out of this carpeting now generally speaking the impossible carpeting is not going to you're not going to pull out this kind of muddy gross like water but the reason this is happening is because once again this is like at a seriously seriously extreme level of dirt the reason why you generally aren't going to extract like i'm doing right now and i'm trying to set up why i am doing it here but the reason why in many cases you wouldn't is because you know if you think about if you think about there's nothing underneath this carpet like when you're extracting upholstery a lot of times you'll find this wicking effect where the spill or the liquid gets into the underlying foam interface of the upholstery itself and when that happens the stain ends up sitting underneath the surface and has to be literally sucked out in order to fix it completely whereas there's nothing underneath the surface here with the impossible carpeting but like i said reason why i'm doing this is because the uh not only is it going to act as a sort of vacuuming combo but on top of that one of the things that this is going to allow me to kind of just put at ease in my own head is after i vacuum steam and chemically clean and extract it and i extract it a couple times i can i can rest assured that this is as good as this is going to get in some senses i can just step back and say okay this is not going to get any better you know i'm sucking up clear water so obviously the dirt that's the staining issue that's going to be fixed but as far as any minerals or any crumbs dirt debris that's left here this is going to be something that i'm going to have to decide to move on from because if i stay here i'm going to stay here all day because again the impossible carpeting was left in a certain condition once it's left in a certain condition i can only perfect it to a certain level now all of that being said when i'm talking to my customer about this nine times out of ten i've experienced that customers in many ways when their cars are actually really dirty they're actually sometimes even more understanding than maybe people who don't have vehicles in this condition because in some sense i think there's a certain psychological play that happens here where the customer knows and they're aware of how dirty their car is and there's almost kind of like an embarrassing factor to it and because of that when you talk to them in a way where you're explaining the limitations of the detail that you're about to perform they really kind of almost sometimes cut you off and they're like yeah no no totally i'm not expecting perfection like they'll finish my sentence for me i'm not expecting perfection i'm not expecting any of this i just wanted to be improved i totally understand thank you for saying that now all of that being said the question becomes and this is something i really wanted to touch on how much is enough in other words where is the point where you say okay i can no longer fix this carpet at any level that is going to make sense there's a couple things to consider here number one there is a more black and white answer to that question in that there are times when let's just say you're dealing with carpet where you can extract it extract it extract it and finally you're sucking up clear water and that stain or discoloration is still in some effect there that is a more black and white approach where you say okay this stain has been here so long that it has permanently discolored the carpet and there's no longer anything i can do because i have chemically cleaned steamed and extracted to the highest level possible where i can literally physically see no more coloring discoloration is coming out of the carpet that's one answer the more ambiguous and probably more commonly asked question which there's a less clear-cut answer to is well luke when i'm dealing with the impossible carpet like you're dealing with right now and i finish extracting it like you're doing and like you luke i see that there's not not all of the crumbs not all of the debris not all of the dirt is totally cleaned up in other words i can see some of those crumbs and debris still underneath the carpeting even after i extracted it twice and i'm 30 minutes in what do i do this requires probably a couple things to be said and i think first and foremost it requires like again this psychological approach that this is what i would consider this is what i would call the detailer's eye versus your customer's eye while yes it is a good thing to go above and beyond and make sure that you're delivering un delivering unbelievable results for your customer in us in another sense most of the time your 80 percent is your customers 100 percent let me say that again most of the time the detailers 80 clean is the customers or the average person's 100 clean most of the time this is something that in many ways i think can put a lot of people at ease because all i'm saying here is what you are going to hyper focus on and over correct on your customer is already satisfied with so it's kind of like feeding people more when they're already full if your customer already if you're serving somebody and they're full and they don't want dessert you're not going to bring them dessert and then force feed them and make them eat it they don't want it they're satisfied with the meal you already delivered leave it at that the other thing the other thing to consider here and the probably what's more difficult to discern is well luke what if my 80 is not my customers 100 like what do i do and this again is solved this problem is solved on the front end of the conversation i can't stress this enough practice speaking with your customer on the front end explaining to them what can be expected and the more you actually detail the more you will be able to explain and articulate in a clear way that your customer understands what can be expected like you in a lot of ways might not know what should be expected until you start detailing more and the beauty of it is yeah you are going to make mistakes and yeah you're going to have to have a few bad interactions with a few customers in order to understand what's best and how best to approach it but because in this case i speak with my customer on the front end i explain to them the nature of the impossible carpeting and what can be expected what ends up happening is they're actually pleasantly surprised after the detail because i go to great lengths beforehand to bring their expectation down to what i would consider probably an even lower level than i'm actually going to deliver so while their expectations might start at 50 i bring them down to 25 and then i deliver 45. so let me say that again if you put a numbers to it you're you're before you speak to your customer their expectation is at 50 you talk to them you bring them down to 25 but then you deliver 45. so what's the difference if i didn't have the conversation my customer would have actually been disappointed because they started at 50 and i only delivered 45 but after having the conversation they start now at 25 and i deliver 45 so they don't even have the context for the original 50 expectation that they had in the beginning this is the ultimate win-win that you can have with your customer the ultimate way to communicate with them where it works effectively on both ends and you end up creating this long-term relationship that once again has this huge potential based on the way you communicate to turn into a regular clientele somebody you see on a regular basis now as you guys are seeing not only did i of course extract the carpet but i'm also extracting the upholstery now one of the things to note here is that this is suede and a question i get asked a lot is can you address suede upholstery the same way that you would address other upholstery regular cloth upholstery things that you see on a more maybe often frequent daily basis the answer to this is very simply yes while yes suede can be a little bit more probably fragile and you might want to employ a little bit more caution in a vehicle especially these entry-level like let's just say toyota honda like kia sort of vehicles hyundai while yes they do implement in some models more fragile materials the materials are never so fragile that you can't address them in a more common detailer sort of way so yes i am still implementing my drill brushes here i'm still implementing um my chemical that i'm using on the rest of the interior here and i'm still implementing my extractor i'm of course not over soaking anything but i am addressing it well now by the way guys if you like this information and this info is helping you just smash the like button destroy the like button below this video because this video is totally free and you know if you're looking for a way to just say thanks or if it's helping you all you got to do is hit that like button it'll uh barely even cause you to lift your finger now just so you guys know in my videos i do use this extractor called the mighty light 80 70 it's a heated carpet extractor but it's about 11 to 1200 dollars and so if you're looking for a less expensive carpet extractor i'm also going to hook up a less expensive one called the aqua pro vac which is sits around i think it's i believe it's 499 and it's a fantastic extractor that is tested time tested and approved by many many detailers who use it on a daily basis and it sits at a really affordable price point that ends up just being really great for a lot of particularly beginners but it's also just one of those things where you don't have to invest a ton of money to get this tool and to really learn the nature of extracting before you jump in with some heavy piece of equipment that's yes probably going to give you better results in the long run but for 80 to 90 percent of all the vehicles you're gonna see the aqua provac the less expensive version of this extractor is going to be more than enough for what you're going to see and truth be told it would have been more than enough for this vehicle as well even vehicles in this condition can be addressed with uh you know extractors that are not twelve hundred dollars you know you can get the same results combining the right amount of time tool product and experience with the right extractor and get just as good results and yes that is not a heated carpet extractor but again heat is one of those kind of luxuries that i think maybe you bring into your business a little bit later on when you understand the advantages but also the limitations of carpet extracting and upholstery extraction because there are limitations nonetheless now one of just a quick little tip that you guys are going to see me do as i move from extracting this bottom part of the seat to the top part of the back of the seat i am going to take a microfiber towel and kind of shove it in the crease of the seat here because when you're extracting the back of any seat inevitably some of that water that's being sprayed from that nozzle of the extractor is gonna drip down the seat and it's gonna get on this part of the seat that i already cleaned but even if i started with the back and i hadn't yet cleaned the bottom part i would still put that microfiber towel there in the crease because that towel really catches any water that drips down and that's just one of those risk management things where i don't over soak anything it really helps me kind of keep everything uh in line and maybe just a little cautious approach and so i think that's just a quick little tip there that ends up being really helpful so we're gonna move on to the windows next after we're done here but until then enjoy watching the rest of this extraction all right guys finally like i said it's time to move to the windows and just so you guys know the process here first of all it's the upholstery it's the carpet first then it's the upholstery then it's the window so if you can think up until now number one the first step we had was all the hard rubber vinyl leather plastics all of those are now totally detailed totally finished so when i moved to the vacuuming and carpet shampooing the uh the other than that i only needed to do the upholstery and once the upholstery was finished you have basically all of the major areas of the vehicle done and now i can move on to the glass i said this before but the reason i'm moving onto the glass and i'm waiting until this moment is because all the overspray all the cleaning that goes into this beforehand is going to inevitably get on the glass and i just don't want to have to worry about that having to go back over things and repeating steps i want to have a clear sequence that allows me to get things done properly so i am going to treat the interior of the glass with a 50 50 isopropyl alcohol and distilled water solution to strip any fog or oils off the glass first and then i'm going to follow up with maguire's synthetic express spray wax because that is absolutely probably my favorite interior window finisher and shine even though it's not a dedicated window shine it is incredible at creating depth of shine even in glass but it also puts a layer of protection on the vehicle's interior glass also i am spraying that 50 50 alcohol water solution on the windows and then i'm rubbing it in and kind of massaging it around on the glass with a mic with a magic eraser the reason i'm doing that is because if you're ever dealing with really heavy thick foggy uh fog or oils or fingerprints or things that are really difficult and producing a lot of streaks on glass take a magic eraser to it with that alcohol and water solution because that's going to strip through all of that fog and all of that stuff really easily and leave you with completely streak free glass it's a really simple easy strategy to implement and then guys after the glass you're going to see me move to just finishing the interior i'm just going to take a very simple interior dressing i'm going to dress all the leathers rubbers vinyls plastics and all that sort of stuff and then my very last step is going to be finishing these weather mats that i took out i'm very simply going to hose those off use a full strength super clean degreaser use my really stiff drill brush with that so i make sure i get in all those cracks and crevices of the mat rinse off that mat let it dry and then i'll make sure everything is dry in the vehicle before i put that back in but that will finish the interior detail now once again guys if you want to see all of the list of the tools and products that i used in this video to to take care of
