    Great job, Thomas.



    I sure would love to try a steamer one of these days, but as a hobbyist detailer I just can`t stomach the cost of a quality unit.

    A steamer is worth its weight in gold. I didn`t do interiors from 2006-2011, just outright declined then all together...I got a steamer in Jan 2012, a good extractor, and a good air compressor and it`s made all the difference. The extractor is great but tbh the steamer is more versatile imo, and costs 10x less.

    :werd: The one thing missing from Thomas` list that I find absolutely indispensable for interiors is my air compressor. I also particularly like the Tornador blow gun for chasing crud out of tight spots.

    I agree - love my steamer





    As far as the cost, what extractor did you get?

    LOL!!! I use my steamer to blow everything out, while melting stuff, that shouldn`t be there. Being that I am mobile in a Jetta, no air compressor or tornador. Which works fantastic, used it before.
