DIY: Automotive Upholstery Shampooing

Video tutorial on how to shampoo/clean the carpet and fabric within your vehicle's interior. This video includes both the floor carpet and fabric seats. This method can also be applied to the fabric which is located on some door cards, depending on the vehicle. This video does not cover how to do a headliner. This particular tutorial was done on a 2000 Subaru Outback.
