Hi there at the moment im currently doing a few jobs on my car,when i bought my car it had being lying up for a while,it had mould all over the interior,at the time i new it had to get it profesionaly done,as i had no equipment,so i just cleaned it best i could,so last week i ordered a 3+1 vac its a 6131 multivax by vax,so it arrived on friday last week,so today i put it to the test,first of alll i hoovered it it spotless,then set up the upholstery washer,it tales 4 litres of water and you add 40 mls of cleaning sollution per litre,and got stuck in,after about 2 hours of cleaning the seats and carpet i ran out of carpet soulution as i only got a 250 ml botttle with it,im going to go over it again when the cleaning solution arrives,now to me the car didnt look dirty inside,but after cleaning it up twice here is the results

i would just like to add that its my first time doing this kind of job on any of my cars,but so far im pleased with the results :)
 
They are good , I have the Bisel upright Clean veiw with the lift off section so you can do stairs and cars . First time I used it in the house the transformation was amazing , the amount of crap that came off the carpet, it makes you wonder what the point of pushing that dyson around is ?!?!
 
Great effort dude.... Makes a huge difference alright and even better that you did it yourself. I used to work doing valet stuff during the summer 20 plus years ago.... I remember hoovering up finger nails and everything from other peoples cars... I've had yellow water running down my arms from scrubbing out smoke stains from roof panels and pillars. It not nice work but I was always impressed with the results.
 
Great job dude. I always wet vac any of my cars in the house hold which come with a cloth seat. I just can't sit on seats that havnt had that.

You just don't see how much dirt is in the seats until you wash them.
 
i still have to do door cards and headrests aswell to do,just waiting on delivery :)
 
Those shampoo vacs are mega. I got given my parents old one when they upgraded. It's a Vax upright, and I haven't found a dog related stain that it can't shift :lol: it sorted my Golf out after it filled up with water too, the carpets and upholstery came up good as new :)
 
...just when I thought I didn't need anymore tools....there is always just one more waiting to be bought. lol :angry:
 
Hi there just got the delivery earlier today of the cleaning solution,for those that are interested, so ive just completed doing headrests and the boot floor thingy,havent got much time so i took them in to the house to do them,i finished about 10 mins ago from just the headrests and rear boot thing it was filthy,i think this vax is great,it sure does what its supposed to do :) dont know why i havent got one of these sooner,its well worth doing to your car,ill be doing the whole interior again the weekend so hopefulluy ill have the finished pics to show yous :)
 
great work. Anyone thinking of buying a wet vac I recommend George gv370 with Autosmart Brisk cleaner.
 
hopefully after my other jobs that i have to do this weekend ill get to finish my interior and post more pictures of it completed,did anyone ever remove the car seats to do the cleaning,im not sure it there is wires connected to seats etc

hi if i had the money i would of bought one of them, i was looking at them before i bought my own vax,that george gv370 are supposed to be great aswell
 
They are but I checked out you model and for car use it's seems to do just as good a job while costing a fair bit less.
