How to clean and shampoo your car seats the right way with extractor
• Ultimate Guide: How To...

[@DetailGroove]

Any other questions about shampooing car seats? Let me know! All links in description :)

[@jluminado787]

Hey Oscar quick question, how do you make money during the winter while having a detailing business? Do you still have clients or work on something else. Asking because I was in the middle of starting and it starts raining 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️.

[@Rogergkh]

The head of the extractor looked pretty dirty before you started extracting. Mine does as well should I clean that part?

[@ironwalnuts3055]

Detail Groove how much you charge for a service like this from a sedan like that to suv and pick up truck? Depends on condition of inside? Thanks for your videos!

[@JimHalpertFromTheOffice]

How long do you have to wait for the carpet/seats to fully dry?

[@jeffwilliam5567]

if your here to troll, YOUR PRETTY LAME

[@sam2753]

I'm extremely glad you addressed the dirty side of the seat because, despite my deceptively calm exterior, my inner OCD self was SCREAMING that you missed it lol!

[@aburns2685]

Great video! Wanted to clean my car myself and now feel confident I don’t need a lot to tackle it. Thanks

[@wrbergner]

Another great video Oscar! You gave at least (3) different aspects for cleaning seats, all of which were pertinent, based upon your capability to provide the service. Keep up the good work!!

[@hayleyjones4885]

I literally followed along with this video today and my seats came out looking SO GOOD. Even with a Rug Doctor extractor, it still turned out amazing.

[@WayToManyAssassins]

I regret not using a rug doctor as I used a karcher one that had no suction lmao

[@FilthUD]

Hey, don’t hate on Rug Doctor haha. They still make damned decent commercial products. Ever rent one of their home shampooers? God knows what concoctions are thrown in those, who rents em and they’re always going strong. Most detailers are terrified of even considering running a carpet chemical through their Mytees and Sandias lol. Not saying they couldn’t handle it, but you catch my drift, I’m sure.

[@kevinbaker2470]

@@FilthUD I was tool tech at home depot, and can't attest, mofos don't read instructions and don't give a fuck about the cleaning deposit,(because we hardly ever charge it reguardless, annoying when they don't regular vacuum first and bring it clogged with hair to the point the brushes don't rotate)

[@timrichardson5148]

Man just started watching and now subscribed to your channel and I can tell you after hundreds or close to thousands of hours of watching youtube channels of all the car detailing channels out there, YOU are the MOST real and tell it how it is as a beginner to a professional car detailing channel out there, you show what you can do without all the exspensive equipment to still get the job done right..... Just saying coming from detailer one to another detailier, ABSOLUTELY, the best on youtube... Great videos, keep up the good work man cause you are telling it how real it is.... Much appreciated....

[@cty3825]

You’re literally soooo organized on your channel in the description I love it.

[@christopherroberts27]

Thank you for taking the time to go through the entire process as well as cover other options/variations.

[@justme6256]

When the Groove man is talking about the cleaning the head-rest , it made me think of the movie Coming To America , where the one family left all that grease on the couch from their hair-spray .

[@billl8530]

You do a great in explaining the various ways to detail. As there are different situations and techniques for different scenarios.You explain all the ways to approach things and give the reasons why.Whether its for the weejkend awarrior,avid car enthusiast,beginner or Pro detailer making a living doing this.Very good videos.

[@mollynoyes4226]

You are a great teacher! Thank you! Cant wait to use one of these processes on my seats!

[@Ra58y]

Great video...thank you for taking the time to share all the options and pros and cons.

[@DMD81773]

That literally looks so literally good. Literally thank you for literally showing us. Cant literally wait to do mine. Literally.

[@toastedtoast]

These are good tips! I'm trying to avoid buying a proper "extractor", so I'm gonna use these tips and my wet/dry shop vacuuming to get most of the way there. Hopefully that's enough for a really dirty couch.

[@mikehuhman3249]

You are man! And my go to for my needs. I'm new at this but I can see you know your job very well. Thank you. I'll be watching your videos 😊

[@missann0906]

[@justme6256]

[@uniquesolutionseptx7815]

Great advice 💯💯

[@toriwilliams6264]

Great video! Can I use all of this on my microfiber couch? It needs a deep cleaning!

[@civilianarmory4610]

Looks good bro!

[@billl8530]

I would say use caution of fabric seats/upholtstery when using the drill brush tool as to potential harshness from the bristles.Use light pressure and keep it constantly moving or you could wear the fabric out as the fabric is thinner than carpet material. Another thing is always be aware of howw much water and solution being used to not over saturate the fabric or the floor of the carpet when cleaning. I have seen on other vidoes to be carefull with the heat of the steam cleaner around certain areas in the interior so as to not get to hot or over saturate the area where there is adhesive that could loosen.Like with a headliner.

[@adriancortez6572]

I have done that to my car and the fibers on the seat were listing up like fur instead of being tight, flat pattern. How would you avoid that?

[@evolvewithgenamarie663]

5yrs ago we started with the electric brush still a lot of work. I prefer steam or extractor for very dirty surfaces

[@eurydice169]

Thank you so much for this!!!

[@nosaj03]

Great vid! Do you recommend only an APC for upholstery cleaning or a dedicated upholstery and carpet cleaner?

[@ronaldmogorosi1365]

APC plus Degreaser 20% percent then 80% warm water ..make sure place vacuumed first ..thank me later

[@deyamaki5496]

Good explanation Can you tell what types of machines you used and from which company

[@puppip5493]

que gueno señor. keep it up!

[@Gumorisco11]

What do you use to clean the headliner of the car? I know steamer works fast to ive seen other people use spong and interior cleaner

[@barbaroacosta5335]

Do you use another product after superclean in case the client doesn't like the superclean smell?

[@roamma20]

Questions what liquid did you have in the pump sprayer I bought most of the stuff you have I have a used car lot and buying all this stuff so hopefully it helps the guys that clean my cars I just didn't hear what you have in the pump sprayer or what it was for

[@colinwithey1906]

Great job me and my daughter have nice cars now so we have some of the products to keep them nice I like the steamer the ones I've had unfortunately packed up after only a few uses but they weren't the best but expected a bit more from them

[@osbelgarciajaquez1592]

Is there any difference between use a impact driver or the drill impact in this case?

[@bellemataafa8176]

Does the manual brushing pull on the fibres, making it fluff out a bit on certain seat materials?

[@rodrigolemus2713]

You used super cleaner degreaser? Or what you used on that little pump sprayer? I’m def doing my truck this weekend fallowing your steps I got the wet and dry vacuum and pretty much all the tools just have not idea what to use for cleaner 😬

[@a.martinez9825]

Great video! Can you use a little soapy dawn dish soap to clean your upholstery?

[@Sagrad0Corazon]

Yes

[@MrAochoa38]

i have a viper wolf130 barely starting out excited to use it..

[@kukuruku12346]

Do you add any cleaning solution to the extractor machine or just use water?

What vaccum hose sleeve are you using? I need help finding a good durable vacc sleeves that wont rip or tear as it being rub against the ground

[@dennisallen8741]

Thanks for video. Trying to learn how to clean sides and backs of seats where it's really hard to get with extractor. Do you recommend doing those areas by hand. It seems kinda tricky. Thanks again.

How much extractor shampoo do you use in the spray bottle ? Do you add water

Hey bro cual extractor machine recomiendas with heat and good suction for car detailing? Gracias.

[@ramf245]

Aqua pro vac is a good option

[@virgiliuilascu]

Hey man, never understood if your extractor sprays water? Do you spray water with the extrator + extract ? Or you jus extract the all purpose cleaner and that's it? Thankssss

[@ToddTinley]

Spray water to rinse out the APC & dirt.

[@TwirlScopes]

Is a steamer necessary with having a extractor and drill brushes to scrub seats ? Don't know if I should buy a steamer for better results?

[@Phuong_Nguyen_]

What kind of soap do you use for the trim? That foams up?
