No one uses a steam extractor? really?

[Manthro]

I've always rented steam extractors once a year because buying them used to be so expensive... I'm surprised literally every thread in here is only about soap and wax or tire shine. Barely a thread in detailing more Than just the paint on your ride... There's so much more to do than that if you're truly detailing your car!

These days, you don't need to use any chemicals except a good wax, and a decent soap if your ride is really salty and dirty before detailing the exterior with steam cleaner. I'm about to buy An MR-100 primo steam cleaner for my MS3.

Reasons:

Clay bar detailing is ridiculously time consuming and hard to get every part of the body done right. Try a steam extractor and you'll probably never do this again.

Cleaning the interior becomes fun, actually seeing the difference right before your eyes.

Oh yeah.. It works on rims, rotors, calipers and even under the hood. Hell, you might even be able to clean your valves with it, I dunno.

This thing is a home unit that's as close to a professional $3000 steam extractor as you're gonna get, and it costs about $300. Probably gonna save you tons of money in the long run, and not just on cleaning supplies.

I'll post an in depth review once I have it, unless someone has tried it already and wants to chime in. Looks solid from what I've seen. The best detailing shops use industrial versions of these on the exterior and interior of your ride... It's their secret.
