An Introduction to Car Detailing Equipment


The different types of car detailing equipment available might confuse people who are not familiar with their technologies. Choosing the wrong machine can ultimately damage the vehicle’s carpets, upholstery, or even the metal exterior. For interior cleaning, the system to use is a carpet cleaner. For exterior car detailing equipment, choose pressure washers. The following is a brief overview of what to look for in each machine to ensure superior auto detailing capabilities.

Carpet Cleaners
These machines are normally used for cleaning carpets, mats, and similar soft surfaces. When used as car detailing equipment, carpet cleaners from Daimer® are excellent choices for cleaning carpets, mats and seat upholstery. They are equipped with low flow technology, helpful for ensuring a quick drying time of the surface. One thing the buyer must look for is a special upholstery wand. This tool allows operators to reach areas in between and under seats. Consider the XTreme Power® XPH-5900IU from Daimer®. This machine features pressure levels of 100 psi, temperature levels up to 210°F, and low flow technology that can leave carpets dry in as little as two hours.

Pressure Washers
Daimer® offers specialized pressure washers specifically suited for auto detailing. The Super Max™ 6120SCW features pressure levels of 1000 psi, steam temperatures of 300°F, and low flow rates of 0.5 GPM. Pressure washers used as car detailing equipment must have pressure levels no higher than 1500 psi. Higher pressure levels can damage the exterior of the vehicle. In addition, many people look for machines with low flow rates. With a lower flow rate, less water is used during the cleaning process. This is useful for those who do not have adequate drainage or water supply for machines with higher flow rates.

Daimer®, a major supplier of cleaning machines, offers both pressure washers and carpet cleaners as car detailing equipment. For more information, visit www.daimer.com.
