Hey guys as stated above, I know Mavrics cousin (Gavin) does car detailing but i just spoke to him and he said the cost for him to hire the steam cleaner and do it wouldnt be worth it. He mentioned that he can shampoo and clean most stuff, but i need to get the tobacco smell out of my car. He said try and get a place that already steam cleans to do it.

So im looking for a good place that will steam clean my car, if anyone can recommened a place that would be great!!

Im in Eastern Suburbs.

Ps. Gavin from Xtremeline car detailing (Mavs cousin) was very helpful, sounds the goods.

Thanks guys,

mark.

You could hire a Britex machine from Coles and give it a go yourself.

I use these to steamclean our carpets at home, I'm pretty sure there is a small nozel which could work for a car.

Perhaps worth checking them out to see if it is suitable.

Otherwise there is a couple of car cleaning places at Knox City - im sure they'd do it for you.

Hey Bec,

Thanks for the suggestion, ill get a place that knows what they are doing as im sure ill stuff something up :fakenopic: If the temp of the steam cleaner is not right or their is to much water, Gavin was saying how it can bring the dirt up from deep within the seat and not clean it properly etc.

May have to start looking around, but was just wondering if anyone had any recommendations/experiences so i know im leaving my car with someone who will do the job right.

Cheers,

Mark.

i remember chatting to a guy who was steam cleaning mums carpet and seats etc., he said he also does cars and they come up pretty good...

remmember he said something like 40 bucks for front and back seats..

i will see if mum still has his number, but i suggest you call carpet cleaners and ask to see if they will do your car..

I've had cars done in a few places in Ringwood and Boronia...The place in Boronia did an awseom job on my FTO when I got it new...called Protech.

In ringwood me and my mates have used Tankards (I think)they have done some decent work...usually u they all clean they whole car...not just the seats..costs about $100.

Sounds pret sweet, may have to venture down that way.

Anyone know any near Bulleen/Doncaster, or any mobile ones that come to you?

    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
