TL;DW for those that need a quick recap Drill brushes will spread the product or grime around without fully absorbing it Dont allow the stain to soak too long and potentially spread discoloration to the other carpet/headliner fibres. Dry the area as you work to avoid wicking. if using the regular methods Using a DA Polisher and Microfiber Disk, you can "brush" and pull liquid away from the carpet/headliner at the same time.
Same can be said about wall to wall carpet cleaning. No method can possibly remove all soil from wall to wall carpet. Watch how rugs are cleaned in a off site facility. It's the surface of face of the carpet that matters as to avoid wicking or wetting of pad,and floor. Despite popular belief, timely Encapsulation,and bonnet cleaning is the practical way to clean.
Been thinking about this for a long time now, that detailers can learn alot from carpet and upholstery cleaners. Its true that cleaning with bonnets can yield excellent results. I thinking being able to attach terrycloth pads to a drill via adapter should be yield similar results as opposed to lugging around a DA
I wonder how many headliners start to sag prematurely after being cleaned with such aggressive mechanical force? The glue and foam backing on those headliners can be very fragile. Especially on older vehicles. Pretty risky if you ask me.
I messed my moms cloth seats up with my drill brush 😭 did a great job getting the stains out but pulled the fibers apart and now the seat looks frayed. Do I just need a softer brush head or should I just start using a hand brush or what?
Do the microfiber pads have to be cutting discs or are finishing discs fine. I asked because a detailer gave me all of his finishing discs and I don't care for them on paint either so they have been just sitting around. Also, do you clean the cutting discs on the go or do you toss them to the side and grab a fresh one and just clean them all at the end.
Is there anyway for me to get into direct contact with you? Is there any chance you provide and sort of mentorship or an opportunity for me to pay to get you on a call?
If the customer can't see it anymore so it looks and smells clean, I don't think most people will really care. Unless you upcharged them for a "deep clean" / extraction, then yes, you need to do it of course.
This is a cool idea. My Camry that was given to me was my cousin's father's Camry. I'm the 4th owner of the Camry. The Camry is a 2000 Camry LE. Two of the owners of the Camry were cigar smokers. What I did was one day I took a microfiber wash cloth and hot water and cleaned the front half of the interior mostly the vinyl. It turned the water in the two gallon bucket a dark brown. This is just one half of the interior with hot water and a. Microfiber wash cloth. I don't smoke anything period because of my asthma. I'm scared to death to clean the headliner because of the age of the headliner. You can tell it has brown stain on it from the cigar smoke. I dare not touch it. But still I would like to have the Camry's interior brown stain free. Where I cleaned the front half of the Camry interior it seemed so much brighter. That's what I'm after. This may sound silly but it made me feel good that the Camry interior looked almost new again just from cleaning it. Forgive me for this being so long.
yea, at this point a headliner that old may start sagging/ coming off if you agitate too hard. you can try finding someone to do an ozone treatment to help with any cigarette smoke smell left over. if you're brave, maybe try cleaning it in small sections at a time with Woolite and a Toothbrush, drying each area with an MF towel before starting the next section
THat headliner technique looks like way too much work. I use a tool called tornador that creates a mini tornado swirl, it not only cleans the headliner but makes sure the moisture is spread eavenly and als dries to some extent while doing so. No watermarks and easy fast cleaning. If there is a persistent stain i will use a towel to be gentle but still focus on that area. You have to be careful on older cars though as sometimes the headliner might come off bc the glue starts to fail with age.
Pretty soon tpu won't have a business man. You sayy to use all these things and then come back a few months or a year later and say to never use them again
The mark of someone who is constantly improving is that they are also changing as they learn more. Most businesses fail because they keep doing the same thing over and over again.
"never use a drill brush"
First line in the video:
"So a drill brush is one of my favorite tools"
Someone posted this years ago of them using the buffer to clean headliner….everyone said he was wrong..look at him now

I can totally agree with this. Carpet...I will stick with an extractor.
How do you feel about a drill pad? I don’t have a proper polishing tool however I’ve seen wool pads that can be attached to the drill.
This editor needs a raise
I'm really sorry for that I can not be online on your free course but in country where I leave it gonna be 2-4am 😭
Wonder how many microfiber pads you gona go through cleaning a dirty interior.
He’s legitimately providing good information.
@Daniel Park I agree but all im saying is you might need a good amount of clean microfiber pads handy before you start an interior this way.
Atleast 4 3inch.. minimum in the common dirty headliner
This is a amazing method
I believe that was Scott from Dallas Paint Correction.
i hate sling with drill brushes does everyone typically prefer the lower speed setting on their drills??

do you do car detailing?
What speed setting are you supposed to run your drill brushes? Just ordered some
I imagine just keeping it one one but I'm not sure

Great idea!
You always put the cleaner on a towel and then hit the spot.

That's only his opinion. His opinion is informational, it's not like a college degree.
