Wow am i impressed by this machine! I like to think that my car is a clean example - it gets vacuumed every week or every 2 weeks at max. Today i tried out my wifes vax carpet cleaner - its a brand new model, but i wasnt expecting anything but soggy seats. This thing was amazing - it pulled out all the crap - the crap i didnt know was there! The passat has black upholstery which was slightly grey before. After the vax it was back to the original condition. I wish i took pictures... If you are thinking of buying one of these machines go for it.:xyxthumbs
