    Two things I love about this video:
    1. You show a lot of different methods so that people in different situations can all achieve similar results.
    2. Despite the channel being called "AMMO NYC", there's barely any product placement. Showed alternative methods without AMMO products and didn't force them onto the video. Way different from Chemical Guys.

    Good point "dabbing" the steam cleaner onto your towel when working with older/delicate upholstery. Most people would just attack the material with the brush attachment on the steam machine. I use the "dabbing" method to simply heat up and loosen the dirt from the fibers, followed by agitating with a small detailing brush and some sort of interior cleaner, then finish by wiping with a microfiber towel. Introducing heat before cleaning by hand really helps.

    • @salehmohsen6319
      @salehmohsen6319 Před 3 lety

      But how to you dry it up, I spilled coffee and cleaned it but it’s hard to tell when’s it wet. I used paper towels to soak up the carpet cleaner and water and saw coffee on the paper towel each time until the paper towel was clean, but I went through half a roll of paper towels for one seat. Other than that it actually cleaned it really well. What I did was use a cleaner the first time, dried wet with water to dilute the stain, dried and kept repeating. So my main question is how did you dry it up? You most likely have a much more efficient method than me. I don’t have an extractor tho, I usually don’t spill much.

    • @Gk2003m
      @Gk2003m Před 3 lety

      Two things. No, three.
      1. Shopvac is great for getting the vast majority of the liquid out.
      2. Small pet vac carpet cleaners are a great sub for extractors. Inexpensive. If you have one handy use it after the shopvac, and do it thoroughly.
      3. Make sure you do your carpet and seat cleaning early in the morning on a warm, sunny, dry, and preferably breezy, day! After you’ve extracted as much water as you can from your final rinse of everything, open all the doors and windows and let everything air out all day long.

    • @ZoneMGT

      @@salehmohsen6319 Sorry, just now seeing this. I just used an old bath towel.
      We had gotten a car after a relative died. She smoked and the center armrest was BLACK in a light tan car. We used this, sprayed it HEAVY.... let it do its thing for 10 minutes and then scrubbed it with an old bath towel that we had set aside for this type of thing. Came right out.Finished it with another light spray and a clean section of the towel. Car looked BRAND NEW. Couldn't believe it.
      Ammo's Leather Conditioner I purchased near Christmas. That stuff made my Audi Leather seats look absolutely amazing. No heavy odor, just a nice fresh look and subtle conditioner smell.

    Whopps! Let me try that again. Larry. I've watched a lot of your videos and I can easily see that you're a true professional and an expert at what you do. The other thing that stands out to me is your absolute humility and friendliness towards other people. You also have that great asset of going the extra mile on a project, like the time you rolled that black paint onto your lift guy's beat up rear of his truck. That's no small job, but you did it and it really added to the complete detail. I hope you never lose those wonderful traits, no matter how famous you get, and it sure seems to me your getting famous, at least among the detail community. Keep up all the good work and keep those great videos coming. Marc T.

    When I was doing the interior of my 2003 4Runner SR5 w/ tan cloth I used a RugDoctor (rented it from Kroger) for $40 a day with the upholstery attachment ( extra $3/ day) and bought a thing of oxy clean (RugDoctor brand, it was $10 if I remember correctly and it's yours to keep) and really went in depth, took all the seats out and did all the carpet, seats, everything cloth. Came back like brand new then bought some seat covers to keep it new. Fairly cheap, quick and effective. Then let it sit in the sun with the heat on full blast to completely dry and tiny bit of water leftover. The water came out black/ brown and the seats still look new 2 years later.

    You shop at Costco!
    The last few times I did a thorough cleaning of a car interior, I waited for a nice, extra warm summer day, scrubbed everything, a lot of water, soap, and I used a carpet cleaner to suck any water out as I went. A lot of rinsing to get all of the soap out, and it was pretty much as good as new. The last one had grease spots, and just everything else going on, and it made a huge difference. Really can't tell how abused it was.
    The extra warm day helped the water in the hose from being too cold, and really let everything dry in hours when I left the doors open (remember to turn the lights off so you don't kill the battery)

Side joke here is that bought that car just after watching you buy the Porsche when you said "Buy with your head not your heart" made me walk away from an 07 Audi RS4 and an 06 base Carrera because they had issues and im soo happy with my CLK only problem i had with it thus far i had to replace the starter ( Dealer did it for free ) and thats it !! , I watch your vids because we are alike in being very meticulous in what we do keep up the good work bro thank you !! .

    I'm an old dude, 62, been getting interested in detailing cars to make an extra buck somehow. I detailed cars for dealerships when I was a kid, back then the way was vacuum the hell out of it, then get in there with a big bucket of hot soapy water, scrub the hell out of everything, suck it out with a powerful wet dry vacuum, and then use a big powerful fan and blow the interior dry overnight. I know things change, do you think using a powerful fan to dry things out is a bad idea, or just another method?

      Norm Rohrer Late reply. but he talks in one of his other videos, that he dries with a microfibre towel in a twisting motion. don't use too much water, not due to the rust, but mostly mold and other nasties.
      the steam cleaners mostly evaporate and dry on their own, and the vacuum takes up the rest of it.

    You should look into either building or buying a dust deputy or thien separator for your vacuums. It separates particles (even dust) out from going into either the vacuum collector or bag. They are fantastic.

    After a family member become seriously ill we found a cleaning solution that really has saved us quite a lot on time, frustration, and money. After this family member lost control of their bodily functions in my truck when I was taking her home from hospital I thought I was going to end up having to totally replace my passenger seat , I thought there was not going to be anything capable of taking the smell and stains out of fabric and carpet. I am not connected to this cleaner, have no financial gain , I am just sharing to help others who might be facing same thing as we did. Odoban can be bought online, at stores.. and we now by it by the gallon. It does a good job on cleaning and DEODORIZING! We use it on the laundry and lines that has been soiled, carpet that have been effected as well.

      +Andrea NY Take a black light over the seats if it still shows up the spots where the bodily fluids were like i have seen many times in the past you might have to go with a professional grade product like TG. I have owned a detail shop for 23 years & have personally tried every product on the market. Companys still send me product to test before they release it to the general public because they know by my track record that if i dont think its good they go back to making it better. TG is what we use in the shop daily not only because it works but we clean flood cars that are being rebuilt, accident vehicles, daily drivers, hoarder cars, some of the most disgusting cars that stink of fast food grease, Several vehicles where women have given birth in the vehicle or their water broke on the way, & vehicles that have had bedbugs. Once we are done with a interior it looks brand new!

      +Mind Body Soul
      It depends on the type of paint that is on the upholstery is it latex or oil based, It also depends on the Upholstery. if its cloth or leather you should be fine but if its suede i would not mess with it & call a professional in to remove it If its latex take a wet cloth over it & if it beaks up keep working at it till its removed! If its oil based or spray paint i would use goo gone, if that does not remove it then use goof off.

      I worked at an attic repair place that repaired animal damage in attics (fix holes, ducts, wiring, etc) and we would need to suck out all of the insulation with a big ass tube and to sanitize the area before a light coat of paint we would use odoban. Odoban to sanitize and paint to seal it in, it works great. We would have face masks to not get fiberglass in our lungs and I could smell the sweetness of Odoban through the mask filter, I very much recommend it for removing scents and sanitizing areas. I've been in smelly, disgusting attics that are transformed by the stuff.

    Last summer, i bought a Ford wagon for cheap, it was a farm hack towed more than it should have been places where it should have, anyway I tore everything out apart from the dash and pressure washed the interior, worked a treat car wash in a bucket and a pressure washer got deep stains out, even some of our high temperatures it still took a week to dry talking about 110-118F days. (Australia) totally worth the effort though

  • @nissan300bhp
    @nissan300bhp Před 10 lety

    one of the best ways to clean interior seats, headlinings, anything really is to use a synth/chamios, get a bucket of water, rinse out chamios, get your interior cleaner, mist it on to the area and gently wipe the area over, its works a real treat and is awesome at cleaning the headlining, rinse out chamios in bucket after each pass, you will see for youself the dirty water in bucket, same with carpets but go with a scrub sponge first then follow up with chamios, for subborn stains use tar and glue remover on your carpets for oil based stains as its a solvent.

    We use another method that I think I've seen on one of your videos that is squirting some fabric cleaner, use a brush on a drill or rotary polisher to lift the dirt then vacuum the seat, repeat with just water and then one last pass with just the vacuum to absorb as much moist as possible
