anyone know how to use the steam cleaning machine that detailers use?? I was about to get my car detailed at this shop but, after i came the detailer got fired, so the mechanic said that if i really really wanted to, i could do it myself. It seemed like a good deal only because i'm saving like a hundred bucks, but since the foreman and all the mechanics don't know how to work the machine , i'm kinda stuck. I dunno the brand or anything, but it's probaly like 4 feet by 3 feet, about 4 feet high (heh, i know, wtf?). I probaly just need to know some tips, like what kind of solvents, or what can i actually clean with these type of machine once i get started(i.e, don't clean the panels with the steam or something along those lines.) btw, i always fix my car here, so if you're close to Boston, hit me up at smokehonda@hotmail.com , we can probaly figure this out and you can get a free detail job. kinda..HEH

well the place should have the solvents used in the machine they are probaly labled. If they dont then i used oxyclean on the carpets. you can clean the carpets/seats with the cleaner no problem.

i would still make them do it. make them pay to have it detailed at another shop. you can seriously mess up your interior by doing it wrong, or you can take your chances.

nah, i didn't pay for anything. It's free of charge, i can use the machine anytime i want, i just don't want to ruin my seats or something. BTW, can i clean engine parts with this machine?
