Carpet & Upholstery Cleaning by GSRstilez

I have been getting countless questions about my regimen, so I figured I'd just write up an article and post it. I'd like to thank my girlfriend turning my on to the OXY POWER! a little over a year ago. After playing with different dilutions, I've found a great method. Enjoy the read!

Hey Everyone,

As a professional detailer I have tried many different methods to getting a carpet clean. Currently I use a method that lifts deep down stains and odors out quite well.

What you will need

-Hi-power wet/dry ShopVac
-Oxy Clean (the Granular)
-2 Gallon Bucket
-Medium Hardness Bristled Nylon Brush w/handle
-A good spot remover (I used Meguiar's All Purpose Cleaner diluted 10:1)

What to do

-Vacuum out the upholstery or carpet
-Mix in the 2 gallon bucket: 2 scoops of Oxy Clean and the rest with warm/hot water
-Stir it up with the brush and let it sit for 5 mins for the product to saturate into the water
-While it is saturating, spray your spot remover onto the surface generously, concentrating the spray on the heavier soil spots
-Proceed to then scrub the solution into the carpet. What I do is hold the handled brush and scoop some water with my hand onto the surface. Work in small squares (1'x1') when agitating and scrub front to back, left and right, repeating over each swipe. You will see the solution saturate into the carpet. Just scrub the solution in and move to your next area.
-When the entire area is saturated, begin where you begun scrubbing the first section. Proceed to extract the water solution out of the carpets/upholstery. I usually take the filter out of the ShopVac (more suction) for this and move slowly over the surface to insure complete extraction of the solution.
-When done, the areas will be damp. Leave the doors open with the dome light switched "OFF" and leave the mats in the sun. It should be dry in an hour or two.
-Let it all dry and Voila!

Notes

-Get some crevice tools for the Shopvac. It will help with vacuuming and extracting.
-For tight areas, agitate with your hands or a terry towel.
-For a spot remover, you should be just fine with something that is safe for clothing (IE: Shout Spray)
-Repeat if necessary. For deep stains, just apply the solution and let it sit for about 20 mins, then extract out.

Here are some pictures of the work I have achieved with the exact steps/products listed above:

You tell me if this is the same car!

There were no other colors unless it is leather which it is not so its just the shading.

It's the same. The only glaring difference is the lack of a floor mat in the first pic vs the second.

But definatelly different lightng in each pic and how convenient that there is a floor mat covering the ink stains. But I do believe they are the same car.
