Autogeek's 4th Annual Detail Fest & Car Show

It’s that time of year again! Autogeek’s 4th Annual Detail Fest is coming up on March 21, 2009.

We like to celebrate the arrival of Spring in our own unique way here at Autogeek: by hosting a detailing expo and car show! Every year since 2006 we’ve hosted a gathering of leading manufacturers, enthusiasts and, of course, their cars for a day of education, detailing, and fun.

Detail Fest 2009 is being held on March 21 at our Stuart, Florida headquarters. This is the first weekend of Spring and there’s no better way to get your vehicle ready than to learn from the pros and from fellow hobbyists about the latest techniques and products. Meet your favorite manufacturers and see their products in action. Detail Fest is also a great opportunity to meet fellow forum members face to face and see their handiwork up close.

Pre-register for Detail Fest now! Your $20 registration fee includes an Autogeek’s 4th Annual Detail Fest T-shirt, a goody bag valued at over $50, and a spot to detail or just display your vehicle. (Please note: Goody bags and shirts are reserved for paid participants bringing a car.)

Join us on March 21 in beautiful Stuart, Florida for Autogeek’s 4th Annual Detail Fest & Car Show!

Aztec Hot Rod Hot Water Extractor

This compact unit offers a lot of the features of the big extractors, but it’s more user-friendly for the mobile detailer. The spotter is the perfect size for carrying at only 17″ high, 18″ long, and 13″ wide and a weight at 18lbs (without the solution.). The 50 ft., 12 gauge cord allows you to work on cars away the power source. For auto detailing for large numbers of vehicles, The Hot Rod’s design makes cleaning easier and faster. The 2-gallon recovery and 1.5-gallon solution tanks keep The Hot Rod running for hours. Complete more cars in a day with results that keep customers coming back.

Aztec Products has designed a superior auto-detailing product, The Hot Rod, to keep carpets and upholstery looking new and smelling fresh day after day, year after year. When subjected to the high temperatures of The Hot Rod’s cleaning solution, the fibers release dirt and stains. Remove built-in soil, oil, or grease with our high-performance heated vacuum cleaner. The vacuum boasts 102 inches of lift, allowing it to pick up far more than an ordinary vacuum. The Aztec Hot Rod Carpet Machine is a professional quality compact extractor, perfect for mobile detailers.

In as quickly as eight minutes, the Aztec Hot Rod’s cleaning solution heats up to 200°F. This professional quality hot water extractor features lights that indicate when proper temperatures are reached. The 16 ft. vacuum and spray hoses extend to even the most hard-to-reach areas for total surface coverage. Clean the carpet and upholstery in large SUVs and even RVs with these long hoses.

The solution and recovery tanks are easy to access.

The Aztec Hot Rod Extractor includes a 3 inch stainless steel upholstery detail tool that stands up to high temperatures. Three 2 inch swivel casters make it easy to maneuver around the vehicle. The solution and recovery tanks are easy to access, fill, and clean. All in all, the Aztec Hot Rod Hot Water Extractor is one powerful, portable carpet cleaning machine. No spot or stain will remain!
