| | | Cracks and Crevices
Hey
What do you guys/girls use to get the cracks and crevices in the interior clean? I have brushes and a cheap steamer (not a pro kind). I am going to have a customer who is very particular about this, and if I impress her... LOTS of business will come my way. Also, with a steamer... how does it NOT damage any plastic panels with the heat? Isn't steam created at 212 F? Seems kind of hot for interior materials. TIA |

TIA | For dry stuff, I use a soft bristled boar's hair brush to brush debris out of cracks and crevices to where they can be vacuumed up. For dirt or stickier messes I use a soft bristled toothbrush or a Q-tip dipped in APC to clean and a MF dampened with water for "rinsing" and a dry one for drying. I personally wouldn't use a steam cleaner on plastic pieces for the reasons you stated. Just my 2 cents.

| | I use the vacuum brush attachment and a APC. Works do good. I then come back with a MF towel. I don't know what I'd do without my vac's brush!
I also use this......ALOT!!! 
The slider makes the bristles longer or shorter and stiffer. Awesome brush!!!

| | | I have a big assortment of brushes.. but I also use the slidelock brush that Justin posted. That thing is a GREAT tool.. I picked up 2 of them from Big Lots when they were being disco'd.

| | | there is a set of three brushes that come in a kit made by Black Magic, available at Walmart or the like. It comes with a horse hair brush (like the one Justin showed us), an airconditioner vent brush, and another all purpose brush with stiffer nylon bristles. these seem to do it for me.
