Steamer vs Extractor | Which Should You Get? (For Car Detailing)

I have the same set up as you and find that it tackles most interiors very well ,I have a Air compressor for the bad cars wouldn’t be without it

[@autocarehqextra]

An air compressor would definitely be handy, I probs don’t do enough bad interiors to justify it though atm. Which air compressor do you have?

[@davidboyce6427]

Heather do you spray the surfaces first then steam?

[@autocarehqextra]

I usually just go in with the steam and then agitate with a cleaner afterwards if it needs extra

[@kimnewling5728]

I don't have either, but something tells me working with a steamer is hot work inside of a car. Thanks Heather.

[@autocarehqextra]

Haha that is true, it's quite nice in winter though!
