    Hi,



    I want to do a good job shampooing cars without having to by a carpet extractor $$$



    i heard using spot shot, warm water and a nylon brush



    i friend mentioned using degreaser and paint thinner will get anything out...but personally i think he`s crazy... beside the car would stink



    what have you used that has yielded great results



    please let me know

    Their are a lot of otc interior products like Prestone, Turtle Wax ,Tuff Stuff, Blue Coral , all make spray foam type cleaners. There is Folex, Resolve , and my favorette a cup of ammonia to 1 gallon of water.

    i like TUFF STUFF and RESOLVE for minor conditioning, spot removal. i use this generic shampoo i got from BMW which i got for free when we bought our cars. for all applications, i use a brush to work it in and then i use a shop wet/dry vac for removal. it seems to make it brand new again.



    cleaners $4

    shop wet/dry vac $30
