wow looks great steam was the only thing used?

 

[Superior Shine]

Most of the vehicle was steamed only. The very dirty areas were sprayed with an all propose cleaner (mixed 10/1) first.

very impressive

Joe, how do you like it overall?

 

[Superior Shine]

There is a learning curve I need to get through but using it today for the first time with about 10 minutes of instruction from Renny (over the phone!!) I think I did pretty good.



I am certain I just scratched the surface of its capabilities.



So far I am very happy with it. :getdown

Joe, we have great success with the larger triangular tool, wrapped in a white towel to absorb the soil.



While the pores of the leather are warm and expanded, apply the leather conditioner...



Sweet. Wait til you see what it can do on wheels and tar!

Steam is king on vinyl, plastic, and leather. I dont like it on fabric seats and carpets unless they are relatively new. I also use it on wheels with crevices I cant get to.

What steam machine were you using ??and how much did it cost if you don't mind me asking.

By the way seats came out looking great. nice job.

That was one disgusting Navigator. :nervous2:



Looks like your steaming does amazing work!

Steam not only cleans well but it opens up the pours in the leather so applying conditioner to it right after steaming, while the leather is still warm, is a good idea too.

Just like Jimmy B was saying I always have a towel over it.



Great job!!!!

I'm so envious! So what steamer is that anyway Joe?

 

[Superior Shine]

Vapor Master 3000. I purchased mine from Renny Doyle / Attention to Detail

Superior Fine- Glad to see the steamer is already working out so well for you!



How soft are the bristles on that attachment? Seems like all the brushes that came with mine are sorta stiff, to the point that I usually end up putting a MF between them and the leather just to be of the safe side.



I bet the nozzles of our (different mfg'er) steamers would interchange, so if your brushes/etc. are a lot more gentle I might look into that :think:

 

[Superior Shine]

I had the same thought about the brushes. They do soften up when hot and they didn't damage the leather so.........

Ah, I'll try heating mine up really good and see what I think of 'em then. I suppose *which* leather I'm working on will make a big difference too.

I don't recall exactly. It was a hair over $1000.
