I live on YouTube and yet I never see any Bissell LGM videos for auto detailing. I know a lot of people would be less hesitant to buy one if they could see it in action. So I made a few videos. First one is me talking about it, so I won`t say much here. Second video shows how I get around the drawbacks of how weak of an extractor it is.



More videos to come, but keep an eye on my YouTube page for them.



IMHO, I would not get this for a business other than quick spot treatments. I wouldn`t want to break out even the Mytee Lite to get out a spot, but I can`t justify spending $400 on Mytee`s spotter either. But, if you`re an at home detailer, even though the LGM is not designed for heavy use, it can still get done what needs to be done. Just don`t expect it to save you too much time.

The text didn`t show up too well in this video, but I want to state that I know some may think I`m using too much product. The APC is heavily diluted. I poured in what I had left in my regular trigger bottle which is 10:1 diluted and added about 1/4 more water. When I use the continuous sprayer I dilute the chemicals more because I will end up spraying more. I really only use it for carpets and engines when you do a lot of spraying.



I use this method when I can because it saves A LOT of time over using the LGM alone to rinse.

I just created another one before bedtime. This is my own car. I own an M3 and got tired of paying for premium gas and filling up every 5 days on just going to/from work! So I bought this beater to save gas (averaging $100/month savings!). It stinks, it`s gross and I swear I get headaches from the thing. So about a month ago I went to town on it. Dramatic changes can be made with the right chemicals, tools and hard work. If you think you need a big extractor or expensive boutique chemicals to get great results, you`ll definitely want to watch this. You can go right now to Home Depot and pick up some Folex and Wal-Mart to pick up a LGM. Any carpet brush will do. If you don`t make the big bucks, don`t worry, you don`t need to!
