Default Wet Vac Test

If there is a single thing i can say to you to do with reguards to your interior it would be a wet vac

I have now done the whole of my interior, seats and carpets. It has got rid of stains on the drivers seat, and also 5 years of dodgey odours lol


Only got a few pictures as i got so excited that i forgot

This is the rear bench, so doesnt get as much use as the other seats. Its a late 2003 mondeo so not to old either. The seat didnt look too unclean.

I only used plain water, no APC or cleaners

BEFORE


50/50s




AFTER


Colour of the water that came out

How much muck? What wetvac did you use? Having used a Vax before and not being that impressed that certainly looks like it did the job well.

With the wet vac being blue i'd say its a numatic.

Next time you do it use some upholstery cleaner like autoglym's or jewel ultra diamondbrites, It will bring more muck out i promise ya

Looks like you did well though for only using plain water

Only thing i hate is dragging the hover across the driveway, and dont get me started with the damn wires everywhere

Suppose its worth it in the end

They are good, i have the Vax 6131 and bought the smaller attachment for the car, great bit of kit.

Need to get round to doing my own car but normally end up doing other cars and mine gets left out, lol

Have a twin motor numatic at work but hell its noisey, and it rings in your ears even after its turned off.

The results though are un-beatable, when used wiht the right products then nothing can match the wet vac.

Only thing I find though its that its it slightly to strong for the door cards. easily pulls material of the backing if not being catious.
