<HTML>We use a Thermax "Therminator". It's a big dude on wheels. Heats real well and does a hellofa job. I bought ours rebuilt for $1800 three years ago and haven't had a problem with it at all. Drop me an email and I'll give ya more details including a place here in Indiana that'll deliver it right to ya with no shipping charge.

It's great if you're doing a lot of vehicles. I've also been looking at a smaller unit from Atec. Much smaller and less than half the price. I don't know anything about the durability though...maybe someone else can enlighten us both on that.

Both these are heated units. I don't see much point in having one without a heater.

<HTML>Ok, here we go, I just use Oxy-Clean and shop vac. Charged him the starting price for a wash and shampoo on my price list (check out my website), not bad for an hour work.

<HTML>Martin,
What did you pre-treat the carpets with? Enzyme or a APC?

Nice work BTW !!!</HTML>

<HTML>Martin, I dont know how you do it... I use a little shampoo and oxyclean, both the pretreater in the bottle and some that i have mixed. I scrub the crap out of it with a carpet brush, spray water on the whole area and then use a shop vac to pick it all up. It by no means, comes out that clean.</HTML>
