Like djdish said, spray some apc then scrub it with a brush
Also, I would never use tire gel on my tires as they make the surface really slick, slippery, and resistant to water which is a bad thing on a bike, even on the sidewalls of the tire.

You could probably get results that approach professional work like this using a couple machines in conjunction. Obviously pro's tools are going to get things that just won't come out otherwise... but time and determination tends to make up most of the gap.

I'd probably start with the steam to help loosen the really gnarly spots/stains and move on to the extractor to pull all the gunk out.
Combine that with some good upholstery shampoo and some strong degreaser and some elbow grease with a semi-stiff brush and you could get anything out of your interior.
Meguiar's D101 is a really cost effective and solid product that can be diluted to interior and exterior concentrations.
Chemical Guys AllClean+ is another good option that can be diluted to interior and exterior concentrations, it also has a light almost fruity smell that I like. Some folks in /r/autodetailing have cooled a bit on Chemical Guys due to their ridiculous marketing and occasionally questionable customer service, but AllClean+ is a pretty solid product.
Ultima Interior Shampoo Gel is a nice, not dilutable product that smells amazing and does a great job on a lot of surfaces. It is less cost effective than the other 2 options but if you arent doing cars in bulk, its a good product.
Looks like a good list to start out with. For Meguiars APC I wasn't able to find that locally. I ended up getting AllClean+ by Chemical Guys on Amazon and it was a good concentrate and fairly cheap for 16oz for $8 (Chemical Guys CLD_101_16 All Clean+ Citrus Based All Purpose Super Cleaner (16 oz) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00AN7CT4K). I dilute it 10:1 for exterior. U can go 20:1 for interior. The reason I went with it was due to the time for shipping on Meguiars APC (wasn't prime). Also I picked up Stoners Invisible Glass at target for super cheap in case you don't want an entire gallon of Meguiars.
I also did a post with my entire list of stuff I used for my maintenance wash and got most of it from Amazon (not Adams chemicals since it is not Prime). Feel free to get ideas of products and different parts from there. Would highly recommend empty spray bottles if you are buying a lot of concentrated products.

Personally, I use Meguiar's D101 though if you don't want to buy a whole gallon of concentrate Chemical Guys All Clean + is also good. The AC+ is a concentrate too, even though it comes in a spray bottle.
Just to add, chemical guys sells an APC for $8. I bought one but have not had the chance to use it yet.
