Tips on How to Buy Various Car Detailing Products


Many types of cleaning machines can be used as car detailing products. Normally these products fall into three categories - carpet cleaners, pressure washers, and steam cleaners. Different types of machines have different functions. This post provides an overview of functions and features of each type of machine with respect to auto detailing.

Carpet Cleaners
With their relatively modest output power, carpet cleaners are best for cleaning the interior parts of vehicles. Mats, carpets, and seat upholstery are soft surfaces. Car detailing products with high output power can cause damage to these surfaces. Therefore, carpet cleaners are the best choices for cleaning the soft interior surfaces.

It is better to choose heated carpet cleaners such as Daimer®’s XTreme Power XPH-5800TU, as car detailing products. These machines carry out the cleaning task more efficiently and quickly. Using low flow technology, carpets dry out in as little as two hours.

Pressure Washers
Pressure washers are used for cleaning the hard surfaces in vehicles. The hard surfaces include vehicle body, wind shield glass, and engine components. Pressure washing machines pump their output onto these surfaces and wash away dirt and impurities present on the surfaces.

When using pressure washers as car detailing products one must choose machines with output pressure level of 1500 psi or lower. In addition, machines should have a low flow rate too. Daimer® has several machines equipped for auto detailing in their Super Max™ series of pressure washers.

Steam Cleaners
These machines are not as frequently used for auto detailing as other cleaning machines are. Still, these machines are good for cleaning the hard surfaces in an automobile such as dashboards and steering wheels.
