The Mytee 80-120 Prep Center S w/ Heat isn’t just another piece of automotive gear; it’s an all-in-one detailing powerhouse designed to tackle everything from muddy carpets to greasy engine bays with ease. Whether you’re a car enthusiast obsessed with a showroom shine or just someone who wants their truck or SUV to look and feel fresh, this machine is your ticket to pro-level results without the headache.
What makes it so special? Start with the 1,200-watt inline heater pumping out water up to 210°F—hot enough to melt away stubborn dirt and stains like they never existed. Pair that with a 120 PSI pump and a 3-stage vacuum motor kicking out 100 CFM and 130" of water lift, and you’ve got a beast that extracts grime and dries surfaces fast. The 12-gallon solution and recovery tanks mean you can keep going without constant refills, whether you’re deep-cleaning upholstery or blasting through an interior overhaul. And it’s not just about extraction—this bad boy doubles as a dry vacuum and even blows warm air to dry your exterior, making it a true multitasker.
For enthusiasts, this is the ultimate vehicle storage solution for keeping your pride and joy pristine. It’s compact at 31" x 19" x 55", rolling smoothly on 10" foam-filled wheels and 4" locking casters, so you can maneuver it around your garage or driveway effortlessly. Everyday owners will love the simplicity—just plug in the 25-foot cord, grab the 25-foot hose, and choose from attachments like the stainless steel upholstery tool or blower. Plus, the three chemical dispensers (powered by your shop air compressor) let you spray cleaners or dressings with precision. Wrapped in durable roto-molded polyethylene, it’s built to last, backed by a 5-year housing warranty. This is automotive detailing made smarter, faster, and cleaner!
