Do you guys use any particular brushes to work carpet + upholstery cleaner into fabric floors and seats? Or would an OXO Scrub brush work just fine?
 
i use that megs and an oxo the megs is more fore scrubbing, the oxo i use is more geared for leather, although you can use the megs for leather too.
 
kler, one of em should last you an awful long time, i havent seen them anywhere as i think they are discontinued, i have 4 of em, all been used, if you find yourself needing one you pay for shipping and ill send you one.:2thumbs:
 
The only way to go for that is one of Cyclo's 4" brushes... it screws right into a PC or you can use two if you have a Cyclo - it's hands down the best 15 bucks I've ever spent on interior detailing... I couldn't imagine going back to hand scrubbing.

+1 Can't say enough about the cyclo scrub brushes, they make carpet cleaning a breeze! I will use a rubber-bristled brush for the initial vacuuming, it seems to help bring out all the dirt.

I've used it one and the work it can do compared to what my own hand can is beyond my imagination. Stains will come out immediately. Get the aqua brush from autogeek.net and boom throw it on your PC and you're done!
 
You don't need all 4 of the brushes. I have all 4 of them, and I've only used 2 of them so far. For the car, the one you really want is the aqua soft carpet brush. The white is too stiff for interior carpet, the black stiff brush is good if you're planning on cleaning grout in the house, but for car work you would never use it. The grey brush is soft and I'm sure it would work well on leather, but I just find it to be too much work when I can just clean up my leather with a mf towel.
 
I can get 3 for a few $ more than 2 including shipping so I'm wpmdering if I need one for dedication to leather surfaces.

Also, does the brush for vinyl and plastic really work that much better than say a vinyl/rubber cleaner or soap and water?

I'm talking about getting marks and stains out bc I get so frustrated trying to remove scuffs and whatnot.

The brush won't do much about scuffs in your plastic. Personally, I've never used any of the 4 brushes on interior plastics since I find that a wet mf towel with a mild APC or soap and water will clean most interior surfaces. Not only does the towel reach every area easily, I don't have to worry about my PC bumping into and/or breaking anything.



With interior carpet, I have used the aqua carpet brush in the past, but the problem with that is the PC's metal shroud. It gets in the way and you're not able to hit all the area. You'll still need to use some elbow grease along with an interior carpet brush. So because of this, sometimes I will just do everything by hand. Another thing I do not like about using the PC aqua brush on interior carpet is that it slings your solution everywhere.



With floor mats on the other hand, because I can do it outside on the driveway, I like to use the PC aqua brush because it makes quick work of it. The whiter brush is stiffer than the aqua and IMO, the aqua brush is good enough for most car carpets. You're not scrubbing a deep pile berber carpet afterall.



For leather, I would use the gray soft brush since that seems the only brush soft and suitable for a surface such as leather. As for how well it works, I have no clue because I just prefer to use a wet mf towel. Every time you change your brush, you need to have your PC wrench and I just find it to be too much of a hassle switching from brush to brush to backing plate, etc. Plus, like interior plastics, the PC with a brush attachment can be too bulky to reach some areas.



The brushes are nice to have, but it's not a MUST NEED item. If the cost is too much (due to shipping), just wait until your next big purchase and add it to your order. If I could only have 1 brush, it would be the aqua. You will use that the most.
 
Not exactly a brush, but one thing I have found that works well, in conjunction to my brush assortment is a garment lint roller (one of those with the adhesive sheets that you rip off after using).
