Detailing started as a hobby and turned into a part time gig. I have some nasty interiors coming up that I can’t turn down because I know the people I already tried charging them a lot and it didn’t work!. I have a spot extractor and steam machine and use cyclo brush on DA. But I don’t have the right stain fighting approach I used to just use megs all purpose and tide cold water. Can someone that know a lot about carpet explain tannin vs protein vs rust vs red stains. What chemicals are you using and in what order? Also how to I stop re wicking it’s driving me nuts on light colored interiors. Also I have good shop vac are there any attachments that are like the suction one on big boy extractors?

IIRC, With Sonax Multi-Purpose Interior cleaner you needn’t worry about tannin vs protein.

SONAX Upholstery & Carpet Cleaner, carpet & upholstery cleaner, Sonax carpet cleaner (https://www.autogeek.net/sonax-carpet-cleaner1.html)

For carpets/mats I use a Hot water extractor with McKee’s Extractor pre-treatment.

If your taking this on as a business, and your not turning away work, you will need an extractor.

Thanks for reply I live in Northeast so detailing is only 6 months a year so detailing is a second job slash hobby. So I can’t buy the extractor. I have a spot one.
