Two different types of car detailing equipment are needed for effectively cleaning the interior and exterior of vehicles. For hard surfaces on the exterior of vehicles, pressure washers with a pressure level of 1500 psi or less are recommended. Softer surfaces, such as seats, carpets, and mats, require carpet cleaners.

The following are some tips to select the most suitable car detailing equipment for cleaning the interior of automobiles.

Which Machines to Choose
Carpet cleaners are the most suitable machines for cleaning the soft surfaces of automobile interiors. Seat upholstery and mats cannot withstand the high power output of pressure washers, and such excessive use of water would greatly increase drying times of carpets and upholstery.

Carpet cleaners, like the low flow systems in Daimer®'s XTreme Power® line, do not use excessive amounts of water to clean. Instead, the output temperature level, which ranges up to 210°F, helps loosen stains to make them easier to remove. Coupled with moderate pressure levels and high extraction capabilities, low flow carpet cleaners can remove a host of stains and residues on carpets, upholstery, and floor mats.

When using a carpet cleaner, a cleaning solution must first be sprayed onto the carpet and allowed to soak in. Daimer® offers Eco-Green® cleaning chemicals, such as Carpet Care & Upholstery Cleaner, that can be used along with your car detailing equipment for safe and effective cleaning of interiors.

Tips to Choose Carpet Cleaners
Carpet cleaners should be equipped with low flow technology. This technology limits the flow of output to the surface without reducing the cleaning efficiency of the machine. This advantage helps seats and carpets dry out quicker and reduces the risk of mold, odor, and germs from forming. In addition, car detailing equipment should have a specialized upholstery wand for reaching the small crevices of vehicle interiors.
