    I just mist the matts and cartpet with Oxi-Clean. It works so well that you just need a little and they will by dry in about 10-15 minutes. It may not be cold here but it is humid.

    Re: How do you dry interiors after a shampoo?

    I usually do the interior first......carpets last.....when done, I turn on the heater and do the exterior. After drying, I open the doors and turn the car off....99% of the time, the carpet is dry before I get done.

    I dug out my small heater, 8"x8" cube - 1500w - worked really well!

    I got the chance to try this out on a "tough" interior recently. I left the windows down a little and the shop door up about 1ft. By the time I got to the LSP, the inside was dry.

    Thanks to all that took the time to help me out!

    although a bit expencive.....the Von Schrader carpet extraction machine is the best way to clean interiors and get them dry quick....uses dry foam and drys in 15 min......but running at $10000 a machine.......not for those with empty pockets!
