Default Guess I better book more details...

Mytee 8070 lite extractor.

Its smaller then I thought it would be. Good thing IMO. Will easily fit in the beater or any car. I don't know if I will install the handle or not.













Soap mix goes in the tank on the left. On the right is the recovery tank. You pour the old stuff out where the hose hooks on. Each tank holds 3 gallons.





When I first saw the box, I thought it was going to be bigger.



A big thanks to Grouse for directing me to the right chemicals. I still need to get a gallon of bac-out by bioklean.

Everything is concentrated. The dry slurry will do thirty 3 gallon mixes.



Now which car to use it on?

Not going to do much good here, new floor mats 16 months ago:



Oh yes, I can always depend on the beater. No cleaning of the carpets since I bought the car and cleaned the carpets 18 months and 20k miles ago.



Don't know if I want to mix the chemicals just for a quick job on the beater. I might just spray some folex, give a light scrub and extract. The rest of the carpet is spotless.

Thanks Sleper!

Quick review after a quick use today:

Took a full 20 mins for the water to get "hot" Once it got hot it maintained the heat well. But I was not doing a large area. Just the drivers mat and carpet.

Process:
Vac
Folex applied 1:1, light agitation with megs interior brush.
Let dwell for 15 mins.
Extract front to back and side to side.

Before:









After vac:





After extraction:









Out in the sun:





Not bad, but IMO not 100% on the mat. I think it will be better with the real chemicals.

Here is what came out:





Drying:

Josh, I got this one from an authorized dealer from MS on ebay. The total was $672 shipped. A few others on ebay have "buy it now" for $730 or so. As do a few online vendors.

Not bad, I'm looking at one someone posted about on Autopia for like $550 or something, but it was a little flat square looking extractor.

Yours is a good deal. I'll have to check it out.
Thanks, Josh
