Wow, you do an amazing job on the carpet and upholstery.



I own 2 VW's and I cannot STAND the carpets. They hold onto dirt like nothing else, but you did a fabulous job. Too bad I'm not closer to KY. :goodjob

Who ever told the engineers at VW that velcro for carpet was a good idea should be slapped, my wife has an 04 corolla and next to subaru forestors/outback carpet, it is the worst I have encountered
 
I'd like to know about the extractor, as well. I'm not set up to do interiors at all.



The cars look great... incredible job on the interiors.
 
Tennent 1110 will be for sale soon, small machine 3 gallon 85 inches of lift, is great for cars, but SUV's and vans you have to empty half way thru. the trick that I have found for carpets is not really the extractor, it is the shampoo dwell time and post extractor work that brings carpet and upholstery back so well
 
I agree with the others, your interiors look better than new!

Could you expand on what work is needed after you're done with the extractor?



FWIW, my VW has crappy carpets too. It's a '98, and after a while the carpet pills like crazy then it looks more like shoddy than carpet.
