What are your "go to" detailing products?

Danase Assasin Tire cleaner for heavy duty rim cleaning but you have to be smart how you use this because it’s HF acid based….

what does HF stand for?

would you use that particular product on a rim thats never been cleaned at all before? can you use it on all material types of rims (alloy, machine finish, chrome, etc...)?

Jason, I recall that you mentioned using a steam cleaner for your interior.  Which one do you use?  Do you have any suggestions for a normal guy like me?

Jason and I exchanged PM's over what he used to clean the interior of that ram, and he mentioned a "hot water extractor" not sure if that's the same as steam cleaning but, I figured it might add a little insight to your question while we wait for his response.

^No it's not the same as a steamer.  It's a machine that looks like a vacuum and combines hot water and a cleaning solution to clean and soak whatever you're cleaning and then the vacuum portion extracts the water and solution. We've got one at work that we use for reallyyyyy shitty interiors. I think it cost around $400-500 dollars.

HF= Hydroflouric which is a acid if I remember correct.

I use both.. Steamer to disolve solids and then the extractor to spray hot water and suck it all up..

For the "Avg Joe" I would recomend a spray bottle of carpet cleaning solution, a spray bottle of hot water, a carpet brush and a wet/dry vac.

Dry brush the carpet
Vac
Spray the cleaning solution
brush carpet
let dwell
lightly spray with hot water
brush carpet
use wet/dry vac to suck everything out
Use towel with downward pressure on carpets to remove residual moisture

Nice info I'm going to try the layman's method that you suggested using the zep cleaner you pm'd me about. Is that about right?

Glad you found it of use..

Yep, if yoy use the Zep traffic lane cleaner carpet cleaning solution you will be doing fine... Just don't over saturate the carpet. If you have very troublesome areas another OTC (over the counter) product that can be found at Home Depot is Folex...

My car is fairly clean I just figure there must be some dirt stuck in the carpet.

DG and Rick have you guys seen this stuff?  The guy who did the write up is basically to acurazine what you guys are to us, the detailing guru's. The product looks pretty impressive to me.

I have not heard of it nor used it. I use Amazing Roll Off......it may be better, it may be worse, I don't really know. Excel Detail is a place I trust so take it from there. You also have to figure this out: Do I need a little bottle or do I need a gallon? Work out the cost per ounce with shipping (on various products) and go from there. For me Amazing Roll Off is the best of its type and is worth the extra $$. For you? Maybe not. The stuff in the video might even be better. Try it and let us know.

I just may have to try some.  I figure I can use it on the rest of the household's vehicles that dont get washed that often. Then I wont have to waste my tire shine cuz they all drive vehicles with huge tires. As a comparison how much does the Amazing Roll Off go for and what does it come with Rick? Sorry if you've already mentioned it already in this thread or another.
