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?

    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.   
    • I feel there must have been a FB/insta post and the weekend did not start well at all I hope everyone is all okay
