I use an extractor. It's safer to use temp wise and if you use very mild cleaners you'll never get into trouble and can conquer most dirt. I have a Bissel that's been going strong 10 years now. :buffing:

A steamer, does a better job in less time. Can be used on almost all of the car. Mine isn't a cheap $100 unit though.

Mine is an Unilux 3000. The vx5000 is a nice unit though.

Just ordered the Unilux 3000. Yeah not a cheap unit at all. had a cheaper steamer that worked alright before but this one seems like the real deal. I hate doing interiors and i feel like this will not only cut the time but make it a little bit more fun. How much faster is the leather cleaning going with this model?

ive looked at many different models and the vx5000 seams to be a go getter....now the unilux 3000 i have not seen at work or online. if you have a website for that model would love to look at it.....

You can always find more expensive units, in the thousands of $'s

I use a cheap 100 Mcchualh and its ok. and I have a HP100 Mytee vac dual heat extractor. I got it with the trailer I bought when I got started. I would not buy an extractor before I had a good steamer! The steam works magic on anything even at home.
