My girlfriends car is a hand me down so its really filthy. This video totally amazed me. Ive been wanting to deep clean her car as a surprise and tjis made it do-able.
Good video. This is proof you don't need to have a professional video set-up in a studio with expensive video equipment and heavily scripted/edited videos. You got my interest...you showed the product...demonstrated it and most importantly, you got to the point without talking too much. Great job! Now I'm gonna look at buying one of these steamers for myself. I subscribed.
what and industrious guy! Your mum must love you very much. Buying my first combined steam mop so thanks for all the information regarding what it will clean. Good on ya! from Australia.
steam is a great tool, I even found a small unit in eBay for 30 bucks, it cleaned out my Mazda b2300 with it, and was very impressed. the only thing I did different was I sprayed simple green on beforehand and that made a huge difference. Plus it leaves a nice scent in the finished product.
So one thing I'd like to note, steam pushes it does not evaporate contaminants, as you push away dirt be mindful of where it's going off to and clean that area. Like in the gear select as you push the dirt off of it, it's running behind the plastics and into things. So us a towel behind it or don't use it in areas you don't want to push dirt further into
I've got one of those, good on most stuff. Still it has a wetter steam than some more expensive models, so there is some limit to where you can use it. (Mostly stuff that isn't bothered by water too much. And some things can't be dried that easily, so be aware of that too.) Also the thing is loud as hell. Should be wearing ear-plugs when using it. And some decent rubber gloves also helps to work more quickly, as hot steam isn't exactly pleasant to get burned by.
Hi. What is your by opinion better? To clean first with steam plastics, dashboard, steering wheel, etc.. the dust throw away from the surface and then use a vacuum to clean remaining dust? Or vacuum first and then steam?
I was really about to clown this guy for thinking hes gonna clean leather wear with steam little did i know, I was the whole circus. This man is amazing!
Very informative as you provided the pros and cons. Appreciate the insight on cleaning upholstery as I am shopping for something to clean the monkey fur (marine fuzz carpet) on the inside of my boat's cabin which became moldy over winter.
you can spray the seats with a upholstrey cleaner then use a brush to scrub and then finish off with the steamer to help activate the cleaner before using the towel
for anyone that wants a extractor, just get a house carpet cleaner that has a hose attachment, same thing! you even can use the floor carpet cleaner to do mats in half the time
thespig13 not even... A real extractor heats the water up to like 240℉ and the vacuum motor has a lot more suction than the uprights with an attachment do
started out with a bissel steam pro then bought a vx 5000 and mytee extractor. time is everything when detailing but when your on a budget your on a budget.
You can do it in the winter too... I painted my fender and all that sanding polishing work outside at temp of 15~ 20 F. All it takes is concentration and keep your body moving and breath hard you won't catch cold. Also make sure you keep yourself warm by putting on coat that covers up to your neck. Have fun
@Nika Marie - What you - in that case - after you steamed the door (even the latches) - you spray silicon oil, DW40, some kind of penetrating oil into them, etc, as to prevent moisture to deposit and corrode the mechanism.
How much liquid does this tank hold? And can you use this to clean carpets for cars? Can I add some cleaning solution to the water in the tank? I need hot water squirting power so I can use brush to loosen up dirt and then vacuum it out dirty water and other junk.
Thanks for the Tip! Trying to clean up my truck before I sell it and a good detail should improve my profit from 500-1k. I think a steamer, some diluted "totally awesome" cleaner, vinegar, and "Armor all" should work well to do a great budget detail.
No need for Awesome and vinegar and all that ridiculous scrubbing bra, just buy a gallon of Armor ALL and do just that. Spray that sh*t EVERYWHERE. You'll get a shine that your customer will never forget. Soak the carpet with it too.
I picked up a used McCulloch steamer for only about $40 on eBay. It came with a lot of attachments so it was a bargain. I think you’d be better off using a wider attachment for the car seats and pre-treating the stains.
Probably not a good idea to spray the blinker stock with steam as the steam can easily go into it and then the water can't get out, this can cause electrical issues later on down the road
Do you think there is anything inside the car that can be damaged by steam? I always thought steam was the way to go for a car wash. Much less water consumption which is cheaper and better for the environment and you don't have to use those nasty chemicals.
You should really leave an amazon affiliate link in your description so you get a % of that sale + it's free. Out of 300,000 people watching, 1,000 is probably going to consider buying. You are basically missing out on a minimum of $4,000 on this video.
White's steamers. Pricey, but quality costs. (research them, over these, Shark, Mc Cullochs, etc.) Steamer & good shop vac = extractor and multiple uses.
Would this steamer be safe to use on the roof upholstery in the car? My daughter some how slung soda up there and If i could clean that with this I would definitely purchase one.
Yes I always used to use this to clean headliners. As long as you don't Saturate it too much it'll work great. Over-saturation can cause the adhesive to come loose so just be careful.
The problem with this device on the amazon reviews it seems like you can only use about like 30 seconds of steam flow & then have to wait 1-2 mins before it works again? I can't tell from your video since you keep stopping to wipe with the microfiber. IS this true?
Ahh, sounds good. Perhaps they didn't wait 30 mins? HMmm I'm not sure if I should get this one or a McCulloch. You ever tried one of those? This is so stressful trying to figure out the right product to buy. Your video was very convincing though ;D
awesome! how long did it take you to get it that clean since I noticed you didnt use an attachment? I just ordered one and want to use to clean the seats of a ford focus.
hey there...did you buy one? How do you like it? I'm on the fence about it, but I'm looking for one to use to clean the bathroom instead of toxic cleaners.
I know you weren't asking me, but it works wonders on tile and stuff. I feel like I sound like I'm sponsored or something, but I just really like my steamer
Lmfao ok ok. Just making it clear, That Subie launch was perfect . I believe every great UA-cam video should always start with a burn out 😎next, the Mustang could have killed you. Good job not looking its way or it would have started moving towards you. Ending, perfect way to end the video by stating that You are NOT selling the product . And on behalf of every viewer I believe in this video , the product sold itself! And I will be buying this tomorrow 🙌😎
The only thing that a steam cleaner can't be used on is your instrument panel, and the headliner. It will cause moisture to get trapped in your gauges, and it will make your headliner adhesive fail and your headliners will droop...
brandon ho naw man all that is attached to that is the shifter cable that runs to the transmission. It's made out of metal and is like a really big break line thats on a mountain bike. They are really strong. There is part of the shifter cable is under the hood or under the car depending on the transmission and is exposed to the elements all the time. Its built to last.A little steam will not make a dent in it. Be careful for electrical stuff though. Water build up can corrode the copper, and terminations.
OMG, so I am today old (and lemme tell ya, that's pretty old already) when I found out that the discoloration that appears exactly like what one would assume to be the flaking of the top layer/coat of one's steering wheel. My jar, quite literally, dropped open when this young man steam cleaned that steering wheel to near new. I could've sworn up and down, I mean would have bet my life on it, that the steering wheel was just not made to hold up for the life of the car. Not because after nearly 150 years of vehicle manufacturing that auto-makers have yet to figure that out or that they didn't care as it wasn't on the top of their to-do list. On the contrary, I had unfairly given them less credit than they deserved or the benefit of doubt, I thought they purposely meant for it to show wear n tear prematurely, so the consumer had yet another box to tick when listing off the reasons of why they need a newer vehicle, even though the one they have is still putt-putting along. Welp, ya learn something new everyday, or hopefully ya do. Thanks guy!
Matt Hannel It’s water vapor and different nozzles allow certain amounts of only vapor out. It nearly dries the minute it leaves the nozzle. Us detailers use it nonstop. It’s safe with the right tip, bro tip if you wrap he nozzle with a microfiber towel you can get in tighter spaces without the vapor splatter.
If used very lightly just to help release dirt from it it is not damaging. You have to condition it right away though. When I'm cleaning leather I don't use my steamer though.
You can absolutely steam leather just has to be moderate but I work for a seating manufacturer and steam is one of the things we use on brand new leather....

I have the same steamer. For the price, it's really good and I agree, it does a fantastic job on my cars.
One of my mother-in-laws used to use a steamer and it always worked so well. She had 6 kids and their cars always looked fantastic.
Cleaning an EXCEPTIONALLY dirty Forester right now. This looks like just the thing. Nice work man.
I know how dirty those subarus can get, thanks a bunch!

Yeah I was thinking about cleaning the vents with it. So what kind of towel is the one your using?
There are portable, affordable extractors too. I have a Bissel 3624. Costs about US$130. It works great cleaning upholstery and carpet in my car.
Thanks. I've never used a steam cleaner before so your video mentioned pretty much everything I needed to know without me having to go to many videos.
one of the best videos , Thank You
you can spray the seats with a upholstrey cleaner then use a brush to scrub and then finish off with the steamer to help activate the cleaner before using the towel
Does this thing actually shut off for overtemp without blowing a fusible link (unlike mcculloch)?
for anyone that wants a extractor, just get a house carpet cleaner that has a hose attachment, same thing! you even can use the floor carpet cleaner to do mats in half the time
thespig13 not even... A real extractor heats the water up to like 240℉ and the vacuum motor has a lot more suction than the uprights with an attachment do
Doesn't steam damage wires and electronics? for instance inside indicator (turn signal) and gear stick area?
hope you figured out by now to do seats with one of the steamer adapters like the traingle, and then wrap that in the microfibre
Cool steamer.... did not know about that unit..... cool... thumbs up
started out with a bissel steam pro then bought a vx 5000 and mytee extractor. time is everything when detailing but when your on a budget your on a budget.
could you mix the water with degreaser or would that mess it up?
+Daryl Ramos that would probably cause some issues. I'd spray the degreaser before then use the steam.
Much appreciated. I will do mine as soon as winter moves on... Thanks, again.
You can do it in the winter too... I painted my fender and all that sanding polishing work outside at temp of 15~ 20 F.

IamAnoobiecheez I can't, I can't leave my doors open for moisture to get in, my door mechanism stops latching if there's too much moisture in the door
@Nika Marie - What you - in that case - after you steamed the door (even the latches) - you spray silicon oil, DW40, some kind of penetrating oil into them, etc, as to prevent moisture to deposit and corrode the mechanism.

So this area usually gets dirty so lemme jus..PSHHHHHHHHHHHH like that n PSHHHHHHHHHHHH like brand new
Black people make the best comedians
Keston Stewart 😂😂
All gotta do is say Pshhhh and it's clean.
Lmao
Lmfao
Any fear of damaging a switch or electrical components by blasting steam inside?

McCullouch vs Wagner which one is better in your opinion
You want to use different head/attachment for the steamer. It will take you for ever to clean the seat
Tank u for the demonstration. Is this steamer enough to do one car before it runs out of steam?
IamAnoobiecheez you will probably have to refill the tank once, the nest thing I've found even better than the steamer is a magic eraser
Anthony Mireles What does magic eraser do?
At 5:30 he was making sure the mustang hadn't creeped closer xD
Great video bro!!! I hope you make more detailing videos. Thanks a lot, I really appreciate this one.

How do you think it will work if you put some "LA's totally awesome cleaner" in there?
Great video mate.Just wondering would this be good on dirty bbq?TIA
having a brush attachment works better than just having a straight shot for the seats as well as the carpets
Would this steam cleaner along with a ShopVac work reasonably well as an extractor for cleaning upholstery?
That's what I do
Supposed to use the triangle head attachment for seats. Otherwise it will take all day
Do you think there is anything inside the car that can be damaged by steam? I always thought steam was the way to go for a car wash. Much less water consumption which is cheaper and better for the environment and you don't have to use those nasty chemicals.
Plastics, electronics, etc... Just use your best judgement and don't hold the steam anywhere for an extended period of time.
Lmao. Cheaper to steam a cars exterior huh? U realize how much electricity it takes

LA Awesome cleaner from the dollar store and a wet sponge. Dab with wet sponge after spraying. No steamer needed.
Any suggestions on which one to get today? I do it on the side maybe 15-20 cars a year.
I just got the Tosca steam cleaner by dupray. very amazing machine check that out
Vapor Chief!
I just ordered a Tosca, comes in 2 days. I cannot wait. Do you have any regrets not getting the hill injection, or is the Tosca plenty enough?
a few youtube detailers like the mcculloch steamers (i think they go for just under $200).

Oh yeah they also come with a bunch of different brush attachments too!!!

Hey thanks for answering anyway! I
good stuff man. we have a video going over how to do saggy headliner. we steamed an even dirtier f150 to minty clean.
do you see a steam cleaner as a replacement for the Tornador gun or is it better to use both ?
bobl78 tornador is great but you need a compresor for it to work. the steamer is plug and play.

Nice Avalon. I miss my Avalon.
Glad I watched your video. Well done. 2 more days til my Dupray Tosca arrives! But I gotta ask, why do people say not not steam clean leather seats?
Rhys e you can, just have to be careful.
Go ahead
And be careful not to hold the steam too long in one place as it will burn or extremely dry out the black plastics
Great vid. But what was happening in the background that was dangerous?
brown faye lol mustangs been known to get out of control😂
can I use a "rowenta master" garment steamer?
Just a shoutout for the Porsche 914 in the garage!👍
Thanks man! Should have a new build video up soon!
Isn't it harmful to use water on electric parts such as buttons etc?
Try it
got a question does it leave the seats moist or completely dry?
It leaves them just slightly moist
SMB Garage appreciate the response thanks 👏👍
That generation Camry is damn near indestructible
Avalon , not Camry .
Great review 👍🏻 thanks.
The only thing that a steam cleaner can't be used on is your instrument panel, and the headliner. It will cause moisture to get trapped in your gauges, and it will make your headliner adhesive fail and your headliners will droop...
awesome vid bro...i bought one today cant wait 2 try it out...i paid $835tt
You cleaned the good spots that someone want to see when cleaning a car with steam.
Lol
Ya don't say
around 6:44 is the water/steam flowing down or into the shift gear area bad for the car?
no bro it would need to be allot of water for something to happen
It is such a small amount of liquid it won't matter. There aren't any electronics in there, just a cable. Plus the steam evaporates extremely quickly.
brandon ho naw man all that is attached to that is the shifter cable that runs to the transmission. It's made out of metal and is like a really big break line thats on a mountain bike.

does it ruin the leather? or anything on the handle?
Not at all it, works great on leather.
Aiden Suh yes if you keep on there long
@@youquietinpublic no
That a good steamer its work pretty well
How hot is the water?
so that limited amount of moisture is okay around the electronics?? Seriously thinking about getting one of these.
Yup. As long as you hold the tip away from things like screens then you won't ever have a problem.
I still get it ... what's the dangerous? Maybe my phone has a small screen I can't see
Henrison Daily mustang in the background
Look A G is it from a movie? urban legend?
if anyone does this for money, no better buy then a Vaporchief single pro...steam is dry too, not wet like the wagner or mc cullough

Does it clean the headliner of a car as well?
Of course
