I want to clean the carpet on "My" car, not customers.
I can see a spot left and right in my car. (Carpet) So would like to give it a decent carpet clean. To remove the spots and try to remove as much as possible.
What do you guys suggest?
I have APC and mothers carpet brushes, but I am going to Home Depot to buy some Folex and quick releases (don't know the name, the one's the attach and detach from one's hose)
I am not able to buy a shop vac/extractor. (Yet)
But I know where there is a will there is a way.
Help out a Detailer, don't criticize him.
Thank You

Well, might want to save up for the wet dry vac. I don't see much use in spotting/blotting carpet. I mean, you've dealt with the issue for a minute so far, what's a few more day/weeks/months?
If you're gonna do it, do it right. Half measure prevail us Geeks nothing. Im the MAN

Folex and some towels will get out spots.
Just grab a Bissel machine or one of the Ridgid wet/dry vacs

The idea of that handheld steamer vac is good, but not powerful enough in reality. I had one for awhile and was never impressed. It was like it was trying to do too many things at once and wasn't good at any of them.
Save up a little bit and get yourself a shop vac first. Folex and some brushes work well.
Check craigslist periodically. Sometimes you get lucky and find someone who has a vacuum or steamer that they just want gone for cheap.

The money i not an issue. It's more about storage space. I am running out of room lol.
I am going on my 3rd machine. Thinking about how I am going to fit it in my coupe's trunk.
I already have an amp and a 12" back there.
That plus 2 chairs for my kids football games. And my X-large black ice bag haha...
Oh no! Might have to get a van lol, then I'll have plenty of room for more purchases haha

APC by its self will work fine.
Spray, brush wipe.
and you can rent a Rug Dr with an upholstery attachment.
