Not to sure if they can be hired, only ever heard of lads getting a lend from garages. If you can rent it, its worth while getting a few lads together and getting the most out of the vac.
Buy the foam fabric cleaner in a motor factors/halfords. Give the seats a good hoover first then spray on the foam generously. Leave it for a few minutes and then hoover the seats thoroughly. Use the little fitting that comes with most hoovers with the flat head , if you can find it ! I done this loads of times and works a treat. Same process for the carpets. Usually two tins of the spray will do the whole interior. When your done just let it dry out for a few hours. Hope this helps
Tried various types of foams on other cars and wasn't overly impressed with any of them once they had dried out , always looked like i had missed bits , i'd probably be over fussy bout em tho , but cheers all the same lad , think i may just stop drivin her to work n take the girlfriends car ,

Money well spent Lad , not overly keen on leaving my car with other people to clean , i've heard some horror stories and seen some bad results , plus i'm a fecker for findin faults with peoples work on my car ,
Buy your own then Tommy. Think vax do one for about 180. 2 cars and shes paid for. Only reason i trust the lads who do mine is their place is right across the road from my work so i can keep an eye on them
May have one here tommy, I'll have a look in the morning for ya and let you know. I think its a Vax, may only be the bottom model but might be worth a try before you spend any money

Your laughin so man , at least you can keep an eye on your car , thanks for the help man
My mam rented this thing from Homebase during the week to clean her carpets. Think it was called 'Rug Doctor', 35 for 24 hours. When she'd finished i took out the seats, done them and the carpets and they are spotless now!
I use Meguairs APC or Autoglym Interior Shampoo for mine, and an extractor. Its like a wet vac/carpet cleaner.
A frienf of mine who does some valeting has a karcher one that i get the use of whenever I need it
Sam hire near me do a very similar carpet cleaner which i got once and does the job just as good
get yourself a small softish nail brush and get scrubbin!!
Cheers for the suggestions lads , Think i'm sorted tho , gettin a lend of Robbie's steam cleaner and try it out some night in work , I,ll try take before and after shots and post them up
