U.F.O. Pads To Deep Clean The Interior Of The Auction Mini Van. Autofiber Upholstery/Fabric Pads!!

[@apexdetail85]

I am a paint guy....so anything that speeds up interior cleaning is a god send to me. These pads work well. Thoughts?

[@richsmith3120]

They look like they're doing a good job. I bet they're also good on headliners. I'd use P&S 3 Step cleaner.

[@davidharrison8397]

I'm not a full time detailer... I just do my own stuff and some friends vehicles from time to time......but I found that Lowe's carries a product called folex in a big spray bottle that's dirt cheap and works better than anything I've tried. I do like using the cold water Tide thing sometimes too. These micro fiber pads look pretty cool....the brushes can be rough on some fabrics. I actually paint / restore muscle car's and I always just cut and buffed the paint the old school way.....then I stumbled on your channel and learned so much about paint correction. Now I have about 60 compound's ... tons of different pads ....ceramic spray's....long throw / short DA's....small to large.... and still of course rotaries . In other words I've learned a hell of a lot from you and other's on here. Thanks !

[@philippeperron9063]

Recurrent theme, pressure washer not turned on, battery not charged 🤣Can relate to that! Love it!

[@davidboyce6427]

I’d say you know you’re on the good side of healing Brian because the vibrations from the polisher isn’t causing any pain in your left wrist 👍

[@apexdetail85]

Absolutely....much better on the rotary.

[@diydetailofficial]

Good job Brian.

[@LightningDelta]

Love using these! I use them as I would with pad washer. Spin it dry on the ground after each section and keep going. 1 pad for seats, another for carpets.

[@shooterjohn7163]

I’ve used this technique on my homes carpet for removing a traffic pattern stain. I’ve also cleaned furniture upholstery this way too. I don’t have any cloth seats in my vehicles.

[@tacticalofficer6103]

Thank you sir for sharing your knowledge !!!!

[@apexdetail85]

My pleasure

[@owensamuels-h1r]

Thanks !!! Welcome back - love your channel - always learn so much ! I’m a relatively new passionate detail DIY er - doc by day -

[@apexdetail85]

Good to be back! Good to hear! If you ever have any questions....my contact info is easy to find.

[@weSteh]

Gday Brian, good to see you back at it ! I'll be trying these out!

[@apexdetail85]

Good to be back!

[@TheMobileDetailShop1296]

Thanks Brian I just ordered some of those.

[@larrydavisj]

Autofiber continues to impress me. Brian, you forgot to mention the jheri curl juice.

[@apexdetail85]

Soul Glo!!

[@larrydavisj]

@apexdetail85 I forgot about Soul Glo. You have a great memory. Coming to America!

[@neilwalker5041]

I like these pads as they look more flexible than the meguiars microfiber pads I currently use. I use a rotary polisher on cloth too. I like this method because I do not put mold into the foam under the cloth. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family.

[@apexdetail85]

Agreed. Thanks!

[@MNpicker]

Interesting options...I like it👍🏻

[@ronayotte3571]

I've been cleaning cloth upholstery this way with Griot's Foaming Upholstery Cleaner and an older 3" microfiber pad on my Griot's 3" polisher... I find the 3-inch polisher gives better control and concentration on trouble spots.

[@apexdetail85]

Good point. A 3 inch would be best in tight areas.

[@Potzii85]

I just recently bought a Hydro Steam Extractor from Bissel ... I'm stocked to test it out on an interor. The Car Cleaning Guru was the one who brought it to my attention. The Combination of a little heat and the sucking Power should work wonders 😁

[@apexdetail85]

I am sure it is quite effective. :)

[@CelticInteriorShine]

I love my rotary and wool pad for fabric cleaning

[@apexdetail85]

Oh yeah...I see any stains...these are coming out to do some work.

[@davestewart9146]

Such a great idea, thanks Brian 👍😁

[@bigd9848]

Looks like a great way to get the job done.Great video Brian very informative ✊💎

[@Calendyr]

Looks interesting for using on a polisher, but for use by hand, IMHO a brush would do a much better job at agitating.

[@williampinchbeck4321]

Great info thanks Brian!!

[@kimnewling5728]

Does the crud fly around when scrubbing?

[@apexdetail85]

If you over saturate with cleaner....it can sling...yes.

[@123fuhfrtgfh]

I pull the fabric seat out, then I soak them in detergent. Then I blast them with the gerni. Then leave them to dry for a few day before putting them back in.

[@apexdetail85]

Now that is a deep clean! :)

[@ArthurMSoto]

Hmm, I’ve been using drill brush with microfiber towels. Wonder if this would help speed things up and still look well. I do a lot of interiors but trying to cut down on time.

[@apexdetail85]

Less chance of fraying the material with these.

[@dfd4688]

Thanks for introducing these pads. Maybe these pads eliminate the need for extraction. I’m curious to know if you would typically prioritize speed and ease above all else when it comes to interior detailing on a wholesale vehicle you intend to sale? Thanks for the post. Cheers.

[@apexdetail85]

What I have to keep in mind...and change change of thought and approach. Because the more time you put into these ... the more you are cutting into the profit margin.

[@jarntzen0317]

How are we attacking those seatbelts? Really interested in seeing if there’s a better way than endless scrubbing with a microfiber towel.

[@apexdetail85]

Video on the way.

[@albertvelez6386]

Nice demonstration, can you use it on the headliners? Like to see if possible

[@apexdetail85]

Very carefully on low speed.

[@cebasmb8250]

Lately I've seen a lot of videos on how they clean fabric seats with polisher. Yes, it may be faster or not.... but this is not the correct way to clean fabric. Every fiber in fabric has a side.... brush is the best way to agitate any fabric back and forth left and right to get the fiber clean in a professional way, hands down. I've been clean fabric for years, couches, carpets, you name it.. machine like that on this type of material it just knotting the fibers

[@BillyT531]

Can you use these on carpets, and if so, what results have you had?

[@apexdetail85]

Yes....just have more patience and angle the polisher in different areas or grab a smaller polisher for tight areas.

[@owensamuels-h1r]

Thanks for the great video. Would those pads be appropriate for leather as well?

[@apexdetail85]

For leather, I use a Lake Country hybrid wool pad on low speed.

[@1stfrompuertorico568]

First!!!

[@darrenprintz2966]

Are you going to show how to clean the seatbelts in a video?

[@apexdetail85]

Yes....footage recorded for upcoming video.

[@brandtstone7744]

Are you going to show how to clean stained seat belts?

[@aaron30569]

Can you compare to drill brush

[@apexdetail85]

The drill brush tends to frey material before these pads do.

[@cebasmb8250]

A hand brush is always best 💯

[@GeneG-wk2mz]

Nice get you some pog for them spots you thank me later

[@deathstar8072]

I have to say for seats that were that dirty that Carpro Inside would have done a better job.

[@aarongrantthebulk]

If it’s not the water blaster it’s the polishers…

[@Calendyr]

Using a forced rotation or rotary seems to be the only real option. A DA on speed 1 will just stall on every corner and will not be effective.

[@apexdetail85]

Agreed

[@BRZN-Dave]

Any major difference/benefit to these pads over a microfiber pad generally used for paint?

[@apexdetail85]

The fiber looks different on these....more like a hooked loop. Not sure how that makes a difference.
