WOBURN, MA -- Daimer Industries, Inc.®, a company globally established for its auto detailing steam cleaners, plans to offer upgrades to six of its most popular vehicle interior cleaning systems. The new machines in the company’s KleenJet® line include both standard and sanitizing models of the Mega 1000CV, Supreme 3000CV and Ultra 5000CV. The machines, which are outfitted with steam vacuum systems, will provide as much as 12% more heat, and 18% more pressure than the current models.
"Our newest auto detailing steam cleaners further improve the price versus performance value of our machines," discussed Daimer.com vehicle cleaning systems representative Matthew Baratta. "These upgrades include both our standard configurations and the antimicrobial ATIS® configurations."
Six New Interior Auto Detailing Machines
Daimer® vehicle steam cleaners are designed to clean vinyl and leather surfaces, as well as door jambs and vents. Daimer® machines with the letter “P” in the model name denote machines with the company’s ATIS® germ-killing, sanitizing technology for killing microbes and allergens.
Ever since they were students at Salinas High School, Ryan Christie and John Russell talked about one day starting a business together. Home for the summer from college, the two young men have done just that. But, as Russell explains, this is only the beginning.
Before starting their final year of college Russell is attending George Washington University in Washington, D.C., and Christie is at Northern Arizona University in Flagstaff the two friends wanted a summer job that would provide them with "seed money" to start some type of business after they graduate next spring.
After considering the options for seasonal employment, the two decided to create Eco-Detailing, an environmentally conscious auto-detailing business. They were looking for something that would not involve a lot of overhead and could be launched quickly.
Christie and Russell considered lawn care or power-cleaning buildings and decks as possibilities but rejected the ideas. Because both have always been interested in cars, they decided their summer endeavor should reflect that interest.

Is there a difference between a $40 and a $200 auto interior detailing?
Sep 27, 2007 by jenny n | Posted in Maintenance & Repairs
Is it worth the $40 or should I just do it myself?
Depends what all it includes. I've done high-end professional detailing for 8 years now. Interior details ran from $100 to $200 based on what I had to do (stain removal, carpet cleaning, leather treatment, odor removal, etc.)
See what each job includes in their work. If you know anyone who has had work done by either company, ask what they though.
If they company is going to shampoo the carpet or seats, then make sure they are using a good carpet extractor. If all they are doing is spraying it with soap and wiping the carpet/seats with a wet towel, then they aren't removing all the soap residue, which will cause the fabric to dirty quicker. They also aren't fully removing all the dirt from the carpet.
If they are trying to suck the water out with a wet/dry vacuum, then depending on how wet they got your seats/carpet, it could be wet for awhile (read days).
Do not let a place use a rotary buffer with a brush attachment to scrub your carpets. Trust me, it can and will snag fibers! There are orbital buffers though, which work good and are fairly safe for scrubbing. So, if they have a buffer that the head just spins, don't let them use it. If the head kind of vibrates around, it's good to go!
The $200 place is probably going to be using a carpet extractor. When properly used it will rinse the carpet fibers of all the soap residue and will leave very little water in the carpet/seats. Depending on the weather conditions (I worked in a very humid area) interiors could be dry 45 minutes to 2 hours after cleaning. I've seen bad interior cleaning where carpets and seats were made WAY too wet and it would take a couple days to fully dry.
A $40 interior job you can do yourself. Simply get some soap made for interior use (I used PRO's Heavy Duty Interior Cleaner) and clean all your vinyl and plastic. Floor mats can be puled out, sprayed with a carpet soap, scrubbed, hosed off, and hung up to dry. Spots on seats and carpets can be spot cleaned with some carpet soap. Just make sure you don't put too much soap on there (remember what I said about soap residue). Windows are easy to clean with a good microfiber towel made for windows and Stoner's Invisible Glass or PRO's aerosol glass cleaner. If you have leather, you'll also want to get a leather cleaner and conditioner. You can get everything you need to do this basic interior work for less than $40 excluding a vacuum.
Another interior tip, those air cans for spraying dust out of electronic parts are great for blowing dust out of air vents. Also, a brush with soft vinyl bristles really helps clean out dirty interiors.

Yeah, about $160
I'm sure there is also some difference in the quality of work.
larmarine83 | Sep 27, 2007
depending on how dirty or messy your car is......if it entails inside cleaning , shampoo carpets and washing and waxing exterior yeah $40 dollars is not to bad.....but if its just interior detail...naw its not worth that......do it yourself....it will be nicer and your have the satisfaction of showing it off to your friends.
hghostinme | Sep 27, 2007
I would do the $40 job myself, so unless you want it to be immaculate, just clean it up yourself and save some money.
Mike W | Sep 27, 2007
I guess is on the details... :)) For 40 I do it myself too. I usually get the $23.00 Car Wash that comes with Vacuum, Dashboard Armor All Wipe, Window Cleaning, New Car Fragrance, Undercarriage Wash, Wax and Tire Scrub. I do that like 4 times a year and try to keep my car clean must of the time.

How long should it take to detail an auto interior?
May 24, 2007 by Dave | Posted in Maintenance & Repairs
If I clean,vaccum and shampoo a standard sedan interior how long should it take?
Truthfully, it does depend on exactly how dirty it is to start with. If you do it right it will take at the very least an hour, and that is if it is fairly clean to start.
I ran a detail shop for a long while. Some of the interiors could take 3 hours or more. It all depends on how well you want it to look when you are finished. I personally am a perfectionist when it comes to this, so it took me a little longer.

Tip for an auto interior detail?
Aug 01, 2010 by MzAmerica | Posted in Other - Cars & Transportation
I'm having one of those mobile detailing crews come out and clean the inside of my car. The weather has been too iffy lately, and I can wash my own car, so I'm not having them do the outside. The interior detail is $50 and includes a full wipe down, vacuum, shampoo, and glass cleaning. They say they even treat any vinyl and plastic (I don't have leather). So whats the appropriate tip? I'm on a budget so I can't spare a lot of money (I shopped around a lot to find a good deal) but I want to leave a decent impression so that if I like their work, they'll treat me well in the future.
Thanks!
What would be on a checklist for professional auto detailing?
Jul 17, 2008 by octane | Posted in Maintenance & Repairs
If I am going to provide consistently quality service, what would I want to be sure to do every time? My focus right now is on car interior, not body/exterior or engine compartment.
Headliner cleaned with visor's. all plastic cleaned and highlighted with interior dressing if customer wants that. Window's cleaned. Carpet and seats shampoo'd. Make sure you clean the vent's and console area ( most noticiable) with cup holders. Hopefully that answers your question.
