Auto Detailing - Carpet Extraction w/ Bissell LGM

Carpet extraction is the way to go when deep cleaning carpets and upholstery. This video isn't intended for actual professionals that make money detailing. This is how the average hobby detailer can save time and get better results with extraction. The Bissell LGM will not emulsify dirt like they say it will or like big professional extractors do. But when compared to wiping up with a rag, there's no comparison. I use the LGM to rinse the carpets rather than "clean" them. Let the chemicals do their job.

Notice how much junk is in the stain that ends up being spread all over the place. This car is a real piece of work. It's MY CAR! I just bought it for a commuter and it was absolutely disgusting. I am not endorsing any products, but want to show hobby/at-home detailers how they can clean LIKE professionals.

If you're wondering, I used 3D APC diluted 10:1, Folex and of course the Bissell Little Green ProHeat. I don't put any chemical the water that the LGM sprays out. The LGM is not a great cleaning extractor, it should only be considered a rinsing extractor. It does not heat the water hot enough and it does not blast the water at a high enough pressure to actually do anything. If you use the right detailing chemicals, there's no need for the average hobby detailer to buy a $1000 extractor. Professionals use them because they dramatically reduce the TIME needed to clean, and their time is your money!

@bbubble88 Any all-purpose cleaner will work really. Check out your local detailing shops or websites in AU. They'll have chemicals designed to be used on car interiors.

@badquenga sorry what exactly is 3D all-purpose cleaner as it is not sold in Australia im a littler unsure. thanks

@bbubble88 I used 3D All-Purpose Cleaner diluted roughly 8:1 for a general cleaning, as it's cheaper than my best cleaner...which is Folex. You can pick it up at Home Depot. Any APC for cars will work, I use 3D because I got it locally and still had some.
