Extractor Machine
A professional detail shop will use an extractor machine.
You will not exact the same results by performing an interior detail by hand with a bucket, brush, and wet/dry vacuum.
A good quality extraction machine supplies the heat, water pressure, and vacuum lift and does a professional job that delights the customers expectations.
Using an extractor, the customer is guaranteed a professional job every time!
Investing in an Extractor
Buy the best! You will receive back years of solid performance when you spend a little bit more.
A local distributor should offer better pricing than direct factory pricing in most cases. You also benefit from help with training and support.
You are more likely to be able to order parts for immediate repair so the machine wont need to be shipped out to be repaired.
Features
Heat provides maximum performance of the extractor as well as the chemicals used.
The temperature of approximately 185 degrees works best. Too much heat could destroy carpet fibers and warp rubber backing.
There are cheaper towels available, but the bitter taste of poor quality quickly overwhelms the sweetness of a good deal. Best, most consistent towels I've ever used. Sell-ups attract a lot of buzz and can include: a hand wash and wax, carpet shampooing, paint sealants, fabric protectants, deodorizing of the air conditioner and interior, all work very well! An orbital buffer will work well, too. This is a big no-no in the business world. Turn on the machine to preheat the cleaning solution. |
