What Product/Tool brings your interiors to another level?

[David Fermani]

Whats the 1 Product/Tool that brings your interior detailing to another level? One that you cant live without? Be it some fabulous cleaner that cuts through the nastiest of soiling or a tool that gets the job done easier/better?

State the product/tool & your reason why??


EDIT: So basically, without this 1 product/tool the final outcome would not be the same quality?

Chemical Guys Fabric Clean for me right now. Removes a lot of deep staining. It has a nice scent, deodorizing properties. Its not as much of a pain to pull out of fabric like some APCs, that also means no fiber rinse necessary. And it is quite cost effective.

After the last discussion we had on that other thread... I dont even know anymore lol

Before that, my Daimer steam vac. couldnt imagine doing anything without it. To be able to blow things out with high pressure steam makes cleaning all the tiny spaces effortless. And the vac uses water filtration so no more clogged filters and all that bs. Now being able to steam and vac simultaneously??? priceless!

Ive been thinking to invest on a steamer, but the number of clients I have right now for my part time job apart being a full time student may not be worth it yet

My McCulloch steamer!

It makes cleaning NASTY interiors a breeze. It removes crud from all the cracks and crevices.

I second the McCulloch on dirty interiors, on my own interiors, its D156, way better than any dressing Ive ever tried at keeping dust and dirt to a minimum.

Has been my Dupray but just got a Tornador Black. Made a pretty impressive first impression.

I updated my OP just to clarify that this 1 product/tool is so important that the final outcome would not be the same without it? So those saying that a certain cleaning product couldnt be replaced with another similar one? I find that hard to believe?

Steam definitely.

Steam has been more efficient than APC/Degreaser and scrubbing. Especially on a vehicle thats been worked out of.

I would say compressed air is a big one for me.

So, if you had to pick between steam and APC youd choose steam?

On a bad interior, a steamer is a big time saver, and an easy way to go. If the interior is not bad, its not worth using it as a brush and apc will do fine.

YES! Steam will clean and sanitize(to an extent) whatever its applied to. It also removes gunk build up quicker than spraying APC, letting it dwell, agitating, then wiping off.

I wish I had pics of a 08 Sorento I did that came from auction. A mechanic had used it and had grease and grime everywhere. The light tan/grey door cards were black. I started with a heavy dilution of APC then Degreaser. It took forever and made more of a mess. The steam lifted the grime and a simple wipe with a microfiber left it clean.

Obviously it would do no good on something like milk (enzyme) as someone here recently faced.

I have had my eye on a Tornador. My home compressor will easily handle it. However, I do more mobil work and dont have the size needed to sustain it. It would end up a luxury item.
