The P&S Enzyme and Carpet Bomber combo is a literal cheat code, they're so good.
VERY true
Is it better than flex fire and ice with pre spray?
@@calebsnyder6277 I’d like to know this as well
@JJ I just used p&s on white fabric seats. Worked like a charms the stain was 2year old pizza stain
When I was a kid, all car carpet was the impossible carpet and we lived on gravel roads. It frustrated me that I could never get it clean.
Compressed air (I personally use a blower with a small rubber tip), vaccum, drill brush with shampoo, use the blower again to dry and lift out whats left, then vaccum. Steamers are great on plastics and troublesome stains, but not for the whole carpet. I add a little disinfectant to the steamer tank to make it more efficient and eliminate chances of mold and mildew.
Tornador / vortex tool if your compressor can handle it. It'll blast dirt and gravel away like no other. Same process as above
I do that is faster
@@csskiller tornadors are messy, require larger compressors for continuous air, and really won't do anything extra a drill brush, vaccum, a blower, and a steamer will handle. And you need all the other stuff anyway, why bring unnecessary equipment? Yes, there is a vaccum attachment for the tornador, but they are bulky and awkward, and have difficulty getting into small spaces. I've owned a couple tornadors and I regret the purchases.
What kind of disinfectant should I put into my steamer chamber?
@@LaRoseDetails I use a concentrate called sentinel II, it's hospital grade, and i think it only comes by the gallon. I used a lot more of this around the house during covid. I usually dilute it to about 10% for normal use (higher concentration for more involved work). makes 1 gallon last a really long time. Depending on the size of your reservoir it's usually about an ounce. Adding too much will cause the steam to sputter since the disinfectant raises the boiling point just a bit. Once you find the sweet spot it works great, and will actually keep the steamer clean a lot longer. I usually descale it every couple months, but I use it a couple hours almost every day.
Pro tip with your steamer! Don’t work on the carpet in one spot for too long, as you can tell he burnt the carpet. Always have a barrier on your head of the steamer like a microfibre. That way the microfibre takes the beating!!!!!
@KrisClean sir that is a lie
You can totally melt “burn” synthetic fibers with steam. They melt at a lower temperature than what comes out of THAT hell-tube of cleanliness. Not sure if he did that here though.
@@krisclean😂😂😂😂
It didnt damage the carpet, you can just tell where its damp still from the steam and cleaner
Even a regular clothes dryer can melt the fibers in microfiber. When you dry them your supposed to use tumble dry with no heat or air dry.
If you are doing detailing for a living PLEASE, when using cleaning spray bottles,WEAR A MASK.
An N95 is fine.
Those vapors do hang around in the air longer than you think. (spray some in the air when in direct sun to see)
Wearing a mask will cut down on exposure to inhaled chemicals.
Long term that stuff can mess with your lungs. Professional carpet cleaners have a higher rate of certain cancers when compared to other occupations because of the repetitive chemical exposure.
Be safe!
I think he is a big boy and can take care of himself.
@@barrycook8116 there is a choice when others are aware of real risks.
It's your choice. Do what works for you!👍
I 100% agree. Mask up!
I’m not a detailer, but your content is going to let you go far. A+ sir
Thanks for this one. I've been trying to find ways of getting faster so I can clean more than one car per day and this will definitely help!
Finally someone address this. I always have problems with this type of carpets as well as the strandy spider web carpet and the fuzzy stuff behind the seat.
Around 25 years of experience . I just use a cone shaped drill brush on the tight areas and a large one on the main then vacuum. If it’s really bad I use a bit if carpet cleaner.
Love your vids man, always full of information. Thank you 🙏🏾
A drill brush would be a great way to do it, straight to the point. Nice content Wilson!
Definitely! There are times when implementing a drill brush is a MUST
Luke, great video. I learn a lot from you. Question: what dilution ratio do you use for each of those two products (Enzyme and Carpet Bomber) in this application?
If I’m not mistaken I believe the enzyme cleaner is straight and carpet bomber is around 4:1
Great info. Might want to cut back on caffeine. LOL. I used to have energy like that.
Keep the great videos coming.
Support the smart detailers! Apperciate your work! Keep it up 👍
Thanks!
Nice tips, but to me it would be easier just to thoroughly vacuum, pre-spot and pre-treat then go over with an extractor. Of course the extractor would be equipped with a crevice tool. I've dealt with this carpet (it's actually a felt) and that tends to work for me. I also use power nozzles on my vacuum, less effort needed. The car I detail though is my Mom's every year as a Mother's day present.
Putting too much water on impossible carpet causes it to just wick up and flood the carpet
A lot of what Wilson said makes a lot of sense and this is great advice (thanks!). However, each carpet stain is different and each detailing job is different and there are a bunch of different ways to clean carpets. There is no cure-all for carpet stains - not only for the impossible carpet! In most cases, I prefer to vacuum, drench the carpet with water, extract the water, dry, use a fabric deodorizer, let dry and always come out with beautiful, clean carpets that look like new! Thanks again!
Those carpets are the bane of my existence. I detailed a man’s car who is retired last summer that does not go anywhere without his dog in the car. Those carpets were quite literally shag carpets from the 70’s. 5-6 years of everyday dog hair just embedded. 10 hours of vacuuming. The lack of a steamer was obviously the missing factor. Dude your content is top notch man. Looking forward to the live training class. Hoping and praying it works out in my favor cause boy do I need something to break my way.
You can try applying something like talc or baby powder right on areas like that and and brushing it in, it really helps to release the hair
@@GiovanniGiorgo thanks dude. I have tried that on other jobs and it did work for me. This job I was talking about above was just insanity. I wish I could post a picture.
Put on a latex glove, use the blade of the hand to wipe up the hair using quick short strokes, rolls the hair up into balls. Wipe towards a vacuum hose and away it goes...also works for cat hair...because mom has a cat ;)
I stopped accepting dog hair vehicles ever since I did a real nasty one. Dog was a Mastiff Boxer cross with short barbed hair in the 'impossible' carpet. The infestation was heavy. Took me 8 hours to interior detail the car. 😞
Luke you have given me hundreds of tips. But let me give you one tip. Try the Desidario plus. It’s a steamer, vacuum, and hot water injector all in one.
Just watched TH-cam video on that machine. Holy moly! It would cut detailing time in half. It would pay for itself rather quickly and bring rave reviews from customers.
Love your enthusiasm and energy about what you do!!
First time I see your video ! Really loved it thanks for all the infos and teaching , while listening I also ran out of breath listening to you hahaha 😂
For that type of carpeting I finish using forced air all over the embedded areas followed by a final vacuum. Its time consuming but it makes a huge difference
Where can I watch your seminar? I just saw this video. I’d really appreciate it!
Good technique, I like it. The carpet came out great 👍
Thanks Jon!
Steamer is a nice touch, I used to just use air and blast everything out before I vacuumed
Great video love it simple and straight to the point
Thanks Carlos!
@@wilsonautodetailing you're welcome sir!!!
Any brush recommendations you’d recommend for this better than a toothbrush? Great video.
Funny enough a toothbrush is necessary, but a cone drill brush in THIS specific situation would be good and more aggressive. I suggest medium to low stiffness
First step I'd do would be to use a 200mph gas blower and blow the entire car dirt and what now out. Then vacuum, and finally use a tornador on the carpet to get the rest blasted out
What spray bottles and triggers do you use? Very helpful video! Thanks
I dunno about his but I use Harris. Amazing.
Great stuff Luke !I take it ,the streamer is your friend ! This kind of carpet is a nightmare to clean !
Definitely it is!
THANK YOU! I had never tried cleaning this type of carpet until yesterday (2019 Nissan Rogue Sport). Before then, I never knew this hateful stuff existed. Whoever came up with this sick joke of an idea for carpeting should be taken out back and worked over mercilessly, then forced to spend the rest of eternity cleaning everyone's car/truck cursed with it. After doing the best I could, I searched the internet for almost 2 hours to try to find the name of this stuff so that I could then find out how to vacuum/clean/detail it. Nothing. The closest thing I could find was "nonwoven felt fabric," and that "felt" close enough. So, I typed that as a search on TH-cam this afternoon, and your video popped up! When your video's title included "horrible carpets," I knew I was on the right track. I only clean my own cars and don't have a detailing business, so I don't have a steamer. But your video along with ideas gleaned from others in this video's comments give me hope to be able to do a better job the next time. Again, THANK YOU for making a video on this topic!
I worked in the flooring industry for 35 years. Carpet fibers have what are known as dye sites. These are tiny pockets that absorb dye or coloring to give the yarn its color. The dye sites open based on temperature.
Carpeting in car is usually 80% rayon 20% nylon. Which the dye sites on this yarn open at about 150F ot 65C
And I'll tell you right now using a steamer on carpet is one the stupidest things you could ever do.
The dye sites on the yarn that makes up carpet usually open at 150 degrees F or 65C. A steamer puts out water above 212°F or 100°C. So basically anything trapped in the water is going to get trapped in the dye sites and permanently stain the carpet. You want to blame the sun for the lighter color where the mat is not... you are not entirely wrong, cars interiors can reach 150± degrees in the sun of summer in May locations. Hot enough to which can start the absorbing, but so does your stramer
Much like super hot coffee permanently stained your office carpet.... hot coffee and milk entered the dye sites and the color found it's new home.
I have told more than a few customers the same thing about coffee. I tell them to live with the stain because the carpet has been dyed. The preventative solution would have been to not drink hot coffee in the vehicle.
Great Video Luke Explains Everything
Thanks man!
Great info!
This guy is legit a used car sales man
What extension are you using on the hose for the rigid? I know it’s the detail hose kit but the part that attaches to the hose looks thicker than what comes with the kit, if you could let me know where to find it and if it fits the attatchments that come with the rigid detail hose kit I would really appreciate it , please
Yep! It’s just the crevice tool that can be purchased separately
Great video learned a lot
Any chance I can get steaming or something similar without a power? for example battery etc?
Do you steam for all your carpet cleanings or just an as needed basis?
Great videos , I always come back with my carpet microfiber rag and use it to pick up anything left behind so I don’t need to vacuum and helps a lot
Love the in - between music
If you can’t get the impossible carpeting perfect with little bits and pieces still left like you said how do you set the expectation for the customers
I tell them matted dirt is extra and doesn’t always come out
I get beach sand, I use palm orbital sander to vibrate the floor to get sand out. Been doing it for years.
Looks like much more than just a maintenance detail.
Wilson is the best.👏
I don’t do cars but your videos are fantastic.
Steam can damage those cheap carpets. Vacuum the excess, then use compressor and tornador nozzle into a catch-towel. Prespray with stain remover if you need.
For getting debris that is now embedded into the carpet, which of these steps is actually getting it out? Is it the toothbrush? I'm not referring to the stains, but like a thin twig or something.
You'll want a Tornador for that. Or if you can't get one, spray with your cleaning product of choice and then agitate with a drill brush to bring the dirt up and out of the fibres, before wiping up with a microfiber (or ideally sucking up with your wet/dry vac to avoid pushing any back down into the carpet, and THEN wiping up any little bits lift.)
Thank you, Summer. I'm still learning and don't have a business nor any of these machines yet. For the Tornador, it looks like I need an air compressor.
A tornador can be helpful, like the previous comment said. That being said, to answer your question directly, the steamer is blasting the debris out. Everything else contributes to that process as well, but the steamer is the main component
Thank you, Luke.
What have they done to get the carpet that nasty as a maintenance client.
P&S carpet system is great and a tornador works amazing on those carpets.
love the music ….that steamer is worth its weight in gold
What bottles are you using, Luke?
we have that crap carpet in a Fiat 500 that we purchased, that stuff was so matted around the mats , i finally gave up....without a steamer what would be my first step in loosening that matted grub.
Tornador always works for me , makes it easy peazy
You are awesome sir.....
1st time here. Nice thorough video 👍
Dam missed the training :/ I just came across this video
Can this be used on headliners?
Why does a thumbnail say stop using The rigid vacuum?
wow fantastic man
Could you review the hart 3 in 1 extractor? I've heard a lot of good things and a lot of bad as well. I'm stuck between the one you've recommended for beginners before and this one. I'd like to be able to use the same machine for vacuuming and extracting but a lot of people say that since the price went up from 90 to 120 its not worth. Thanks!
I’ll have to check it out
Nice tips, but have you considered switching to decaf?
Going to the dark side… never
LOL...
I just vacuum and use a small brush to agitate the remainings and vacuum again
Thats the way most people do it lol. No reason to wet the area, its literally just dirt thats caked up/in the fabric. A good brush and some elbow greese, comes right off. + when you spray a lot like that, and dont extract, can cause for nasty musty odors long term. Depends how much you spray
Tornador is also great to loosen up debris also.
Tornador gives me factory new carpets on stuff that isn’t stained with liquids…Wilson’s method of doin “impossible carpet” takes soooooooo fuckin long
@@Ichabod_Jericho …too expensive for me.
@@kimijonghighball9626 wasted time is the most expensive 🙃
@@Ichabod_Jericho what do you like about it? Can’t your do the same with a compressor gun?!
@@kimijonghighball9626 maybe I could, but not as quickly.
I usually use my tornador withe enzyme cleaner n it seem to be the fastest way to get those edge stains out on the carpet
I have a gsp dog and his shorthairs are almoat impossible to remove. Any idea on how i can get them clean?
I have the same problem , the trick that I found that works amazing is a sticky lint brush . It picks up everything and makes vacuuming so much easier. Get the lint roller’s in bulk from Costco .
What vehicle have you seen the impossible carpet on should I ever come across it do I let me customers know about it and what they should expect after the detail that it won’t be 100% perfect
Most all of the entry level vehicles will have this, let’s call it $50k and under… not all but most. Generally customers don’t inherently know and it just takes a little explaining
ah man i missed the free training.
How would the Tornador work on the impossible carpet?
Im a detailer at a BMW dealership. When I get cars with this kinda stuff I usually use a tornador on it
Tornadors require a lot of steady compressed air, and usually end up making more of a mess. (I have 2, 1 with the vaccum attachment). Steamers have pressure and heat, which can actually be more effective on a wider range of contamination. They also have more precision for tight areas.
What's a good steamer for starting off
As an effective sound dampener / padding / heat barrier , vehicle manufacturers use thick material underneath the vehicle carpeting. So I see no logical reasoning behind install 'carpet' - even high quality carpet, in any vehicle - - It simply makes more sense to install a high-quality 'vinyl' flooring.
Vinyl is more durable than carpet and well-suited to areas that attract a hive of activity. Quality vinyl flooring that's properly installed can last for more than 20 years, with little maintenance required. You can simply vacuum out all the loose dirt and then use soap & water to remove all the remaining sticky mess. Same goes for vehicle seating.
And I say this mostly because it seems like 99.99% of people who own ANY type of vehicle are disgusting slobs. I don't detail cars for a living - but I have to climb into probably 50-100 vehicles per week for automotive / tire - related services... We use paper floor mats and plastic seat covers - and I am grateful for that, because I feel like it protects 'ME' to an extent, much more so than it does 'THEIR' filthy, germ-ridden interior. 🤮
P&S express and drill brushes/tornador works for me
Definitely!
Diggin the tunes
How do you remove all the sand that gets stuck and won’t ever stop coming out
massage gun! works a treat!
The man just can’t blink any harder.
Honestly, I wonder why carpeting is used in cars at all. Carpets are notoriously hard to clean dirt-magnets even inside of a home, and a car is obviously a much worse situation. Imagine how much easier it would be to keep clean if the floor was non-porous. These days there are so many options in materials that I'm sure there exists far better alternatives. I think this may be largely a traditional holdover ie. they use carpeting because thats what the customers expects to see.
Haha you might be right
Carpet probably keeps road noise down?
what can you do if you dont have a steamer
Great video! It's not carpet it's stretched felt! Nightmare!
So true!
It’s like the fake putting green you can roll out on your floor to practice putting but in your customers back seat covered in milk and 75000 Mike and Ike’s.
@@keithdeal209 worse I think you can vacuum fake putting green!
I absolutely hate this cheap carpet!!!! Love my Tornador for this though!!
Ditto
Ugghhh the Velcro carpet. I swear they can be difficult
Is it really detailing if you skip the details?
This is why I do this shit myself, instead of taking it somewhere: nobody will ever care about my stuff as much as I do.
I really need to make better use of my steamer.
I love how this video is done on a car that still hasn't had its first oil change....🤦♂️.
Beautiful
worked great - but honestly as a piece work guy I wouldn't even make minimum wage if I used this method lol I do Hyundai's mostly see this carpet all the time. I spray everything with an APC including the mats before I even pull them out - as I do theses/plastics same way with air going too. then I hit the floors with a ninja works good with no stink if you move fast
Simple Green 4 to 1, a brush or drill brush would do the trick
Yes and no. In this situation, a steamer seriously speeds things up
Honestly I just use the lily brush to agitate and it works great.
Yes it does, but in these situations it would be hopeless
What about the tornador I bet that with carpet bomber would loose the dirt way faster
Its called G101 or autoglyms interior cleaner.
detailed a tesla one time and they had this quality carpet... thought they were supposed to be better than that lol
Very easy 5 step system. Took atleast 20 minutes for just that one area.
What about the cheap shitty carpet that hold all the stuff like in this video but also from people getting in and out n stuff being drug across it and cleaning it, the carpet fibers like pull out and get all frayed and stringy but are still attached to the carpet? ( Nissan kicks for example, idk if you’ve done one of those before? ) I was thinking to go to acmoore and get that little fiber cutting thing that’s used in like old sweatshirts or whatever .
I’ve struggled with frayed cheap carpet too! I often thought about trying to use a tool too shave the fibers back down? Any input anyone?
How do I get dog hair up? It's hard to get it up with a vacuum.
Definitely true! Ironically, a light mist of glass cleaner can remove the static that sometimes keeps the dog hair on the carpet, and a tool I like to use as a vac attachment is called the "fur eel" brush
You can also use a lily brush. So you basically use it to scrape the dog hair in a pile and just vacuum it up after.
I use a squeegee to gather it up.
Tornador less then 25min
Steam Tornador and send it.
Shampoo is optional
Definitely in some situations that's true... even the tornador can have difficulty with these carpets
compressed air along with a tornado
What if you don’t have a steamer
My McCullough steamer doesn’t steam for too long before to needs to recharge:( thank you for what you do Luke
Yep you may consider upgrading when it’s time!
