+1 on the polishing and correcting with a pc 5.5 pad, pad priming on css pad

Great work I subscribed about three weeks ago! Continue the great examples!

Thanks Dustin
Hey Dustin, I'm honestly not that experienced with interiors, especially carpets/upholstery and steam... I do interior detailing probably every 4th or 5th detail I do, and I don't do anything for carpets and upholstery other than some spot cleaning. I mainly concentrate on leather, using either Lexol or Leatherique, depending on time constraints... sometimes I'll use APC+ 15:1 to clean, then 303 AP if it's just a quick interior wipe down. For carpets and upholstery I use APC+ at 10:1 with the PC carpet brush (sometimes on the PC sometimes by hand) then just lifting that with a damp mf towel. I'm tried woolite a couple times, but, as I said, I rarely do interiors to actually have a favorite product for it and one I think is much better than others.

I'm hoping to invest in a good steam cleaner soon but it'll be one of the impulse buys as I really have no use for it.

I'll definitely do some polishing videos, comparing the PC 7424 (borrowing locally), PC XP (own), and Makita(own) + G110 if my friend ever returns it or if I can find one to borrow locally. I'll do quite a few videos on the XP vs regular PC with 5.5" pads. Oh and I definitely will be doing pad priming on foam pads, moreso flat than ccs.
