These are from a Suburban where kids had destroyed the back seat. Front seats came just as clean. Leather was caked with grime from car seats and there were spilled juices everywhere. That part was easy, but from hauling fire wood, there was dried sap down in the pile of the carpet. To remove, I soaked in water, then had a blow dryer to heat it, a stiff brush, and a vac to get it out.
I should have taken more pics of this process but what I did was tied twine from the coat hanger holder things across the back. Then I hung the blow dryer from the twine right over where I was working to keep constant heat on it. Then I was just kept working it with the brush and vac and it all came out. A proper heated extractor would have been nice.

Great detail job, DJ.

And I like the way you presented the before-after side by side for easy comparison. Including your logo on the bottom is also a brilliant marketing move. <golf clap>

Assortment of brushes, add a vac, blow dryer as stated, etc., etc. Y'all know the nitty gritty already.
 
Come to think of it, my dilution rate for the D101 is probably just too lean. It's just an APC, shouldn't be a big deal
 
The trim around the cup holders looks great. What did you use to clean it and is it available at local stores?
 
Very nice work DJ! Check out megs APC+ if your not sold on just the APC. I love it and it can be used for all different apps interior to exterior.
