that was my first choice (for cost reasons) BUT my hands were sooo tired from moving the pet stone and brushes etc to clean the horrendous interior so I just went lazy on this one (they mainly paid for interior anyways)
 
Brandt -

We need to get you some better interior tools.. :)

A really good 14" long plastic crevice tool for the vacuum will really help get the pet hair out faster..

Since its a smaller opening in the crevice type tool it concentrates the suction on a smaller area; the shape of it makes it easier to handle and move the carpeting fibers so that you pull up a lot of stuff more efficiently in most cases...

Different sized regular plastic vacuum carpet tools will also help pull things out faster and easier too... Some have different angles of approach on the vacuum end that really make a difference in their efficiency...

I have several different types for different scenarios...

Another alternative on really dirty interiors - if you have access to air from a compressor, is to screw a female and male air hose coupler ends together; plug that into the air hose, and you get a lot of air pressure concentrated from a small nozzle, that will absolutely blow things out from places you didn't even see...

If you happen to have a Metro Vac, then you can move the 1/1/4" the hose to the exhaust end, put the pointed vacuum tool on it and get a similar effect...

When I painted for a living, that is how we always blew out the entire Interior, and cleaned all vehicles that had been in the shop, to give the Clients a newly washed, repaired and painted vehicle back..

Nothing works better than the Client seeing their - Baby - all shined up and clean In and Out for getting repeat work and referrals... :)

I will see if I can find some places I purchased some of these vacuum tools and send you some links...

I have had a few CRV's and they are great, reliable vehicles!!!

That one turned out beautiful - cant wait to see the rest of the write up -

Thanks for all your hard work on this !

Thanks dan...i will take a pic of what im using tonight
 
Dan- (I feel like you get the impression i'm working with nothing....)

I have 5.5 hp shop vac
6.5 hp shop vac on detachable wheels

2 sets of -
Claw looking attachments
angled edge attachments (I think maybe that's the crevice tool you're talking about- its about 12 inches or so)

1 interior attachment kit with the little cone looking one that attaches the smaller pieces to it like the ones with brushes etc to do vents if you want to

pet stone
grout brush
carpet brush (regular, Tampico, boars hair)
Tampico brush (small) - Tampico brush (even smaller and oval shaped)
various sized soft paint brushes

and a lint roller for the final touch up prior to delivery

none of those tools make it 'easy' for me to remove beach from thin matted 11+ year old carpet though

by all means if there is something I can buy to attach to one of my shop vacs- I'm all in!!!
 
I'm with you on that Hydro2 stuff. It is hard to believe until you actually use it. It's too easy if there is such a thing.

Yeah, I had a good chuckle.

We got a few pumice stones around the house, my wife uses them to get the dead skin off her feet (diva)... Now I can use them on the interior. I can't wait to see her reaction.

I've already taken over one of her new hair brushes to brush my Merino wool wash mitt.

exercise caution- make sure its nice and uniform (the pumice stone)--this one is from Rob @ TP - its flat on one side and convex on the other (to fit nicely inside your palm) or I use the convex side on cloth seats to avoid as much of a contact patch on the soft material-- it will scratch headliners though - not that you'd try it there but my buddy did on his car a few years ago- not the best idea
