Love seeing you use an acidic rinse to get rid of any alkaline residues. So many detailers use a high PH carpet cleaner and leave the surface prone to wicking etc. Keep it up dude.
Cool video! I actually watched it from beginning to end. Some parts could've been sped up to conserve time, but cool to watch nonetheless. You mentioned that the paint felt sticky, I've found that it REALLY helps to do a contact wash with a clay mitt when that happens. Makes the paint feel smooth and the mitt won't mar the paint. Loved how to protect the plastics with the paint gun!! GREAT idea!!! TIP: Roll the windows down and pinch the top of the glass to eliminate the dirty lines that are usually at the top of the windows. Lastly, I wish you all the best with your detailing business. You do good work!!
@@chelsabailey1018 thanks for the comment and watching it through. Big up 🤘🏾. I would do a clay but the hand washed I do are basic hand washes unless the customer requests a premium hand wash. Then I would do the clay mitt and add a 6 month spray on ceramic coating. Thanks for the tips!
If you can easily afford it. It’s a sweet tool. But also maybe it might be worth even getting a more powerful unit though. I kinda wish I had a unit that made 3x more steam and didn’t have an extractor. I do enjoy this steam cleaner though for sure. Remember get the 240v model. The 120v runs a lot different and only has half the power since it runs on 120v. I read the 120v model can’t run the steam and the vacuum at the same time since it doesn’t have enough power.
Hi im a mobile detailer in the uk and watched the full video. Nice to see someone else do a thorough job too. What size compressor cfm and litres do you have as well ?
@@TherealTomas I use P&S carpet bomber. For stronger greasy stains I’ll as 3D Orange Degreaser. Then I also use “technicians choice do all enzyme cleaner” for really stinky vehicles pet urine & cigarette smoke. I don’t mix the enzyme cleaner with any other cleaners. Then after I’m done cleaning I neutralize the high PH cleaners with a lower PH acid based product. Sounds technical but if you look into it. It’s pretty basic. Just be careful mixing cleaners. I haven’t had a problem mixing P&S carpet bomber with 3D orange degreaser. Don’t do it if your not comfortable doing it but it work great for me with no issues to date. Good luck🤘🏾
try a blowout before doing the door jams, makes life easier, getting all that debris from inside the car right onto freshly pressure washed door jams, time is money
Thanks for the tip. Appreciate it. I pressure wash the door jams first to removes mud/sand so I can come back late and wipe them with a microfiber without having too much issue wiping mud or sand. I do need to tweak some of my technique because I want to get it done faster
1:48 NOPE! 😂🤣😂😭Grade 10 Science!🐄💩 The real reason is that; destilled water is free of minerals, so it tends to collect minerals from its surroundings (the internals of your steamer!) causing corrosion in the end! You using your "Extremly Clean" tap water is not helping!
Thanks for explaining that. My tap water is 0 ppm tested multiple times a year. I know that isn’t as clean as distilled water but the manufacturer does say to use tap water and the machine has a 20 hour descaling procedure. The machine will tell you is been 20hours of use (I can’t remember the actual time but it’s around there). Then you have to go through there descaling process. You basically create a mixture of vinegar and tap water and fill the water tank up with that and flush it through the system. Then you let it sit for 12hours (overnight helps) and drain. I think when the machine tells you to run the descale process. You might be able to force run the machine. I’m just lucky to have such low ppm tap water. I get 0 water spots from it. Growing up I lived on well water and the well was around 1400ppm. We had a reverse osmosis machine for house water. That would make a mess and scale up lines and tanks. 🤣 I was just referring to scale build up and that grade 10 science experiment where the teach microwaves distilled water and it doesn’t boil at boiling temp. Then they throw a fork in the water and the water explodes from the contaminants on the fork.

Thanks for the comment and support! I just want to get better and help people and I’m learning these things as I go

@@JoshJecklinDetailing Understood. Btw, what is that long, black, caterpillar-looking thing that you used to clean along the sides of the seats?
really enjoy the long video and steamer/extraction demonstration.
🤘🏾
Thanks for making the video i think I will definitely get the steam vac.👍

And you rocking with the gt8400 head..top of the line tools 👍
Thanks for the comment. Yeah I like having high quality tools. I like top of line tools if it can make my work faster and higher quality.
