Great to hear the AMMO NYC love, I watch both your channels and love learning from both of you. Just got my first car this summer and I really want to take care of it!
Yeah he was one of the inspirations for me when I started working on my channel here along with obsessed garage, between the two of them I felt like I could put myself out there in a similar way but my own style also
It’s not hugely popular in the US, but the brand Vonixx (from Brazil) has an interior cleaner called Sintra that’s my favorite. The larger volume containers are concentrates that have fantastic dilution ratios, and the actual cleaning power genuinely surprised me the first time I used it (at a ~1:10 dilution). A nice bonus is that it sanitizes as well. Edit: I’m fairly sure I know which product Standard 9 was, and that’s more an interior detailer than a dedicated cleaner, so it’s not really meant for heavy grime. (That said, the company did just release a dedicated interior cleaner a few days ago.) Also, as satisfying as the foam is visually, it’s more a pain to get it out of crevices than anything else-not generally a desirable trait from a true detailing perspective.
Interesting yeah I can imagine the benefits to not having a lot of foam also. I’d love to try out the Vonixx option I’ll have to see if it is available in the USA
Started using ur products on just everyday detailing for small to medium size vehicles. Works amazing and real time saver. That snake oil a good up charge too being able to see the results instant
Been watching your videos since yesterday morning I can’t stop watching the outcome of the wash I’m so tempted to purchase Stars and Stripes + snake oil
Wow! So informative, transparent and so many things to add... Jeepers! Bob, interiors I really just want an apc. I Love Lemon Simple Green to be honest. I also use Typhon, which is an apc with an added odor eliminator! I rarely use the interior detailers, some are too glossy, just not my thing. If yer still looking for ideas, Next Level has one that a lot of people Love. Good cleaning ability, and adds protection! Your powdered soaps look great Bob. I think I'd like that simply for storage vs. Liquid gallons! The spray aluminum polish is a great ideas and awesome for maintenance. Truckers will Love that stuff. The iron remover is a great product to add to your lineup, so versatile. You can remove fallout on paint as you pointed out, and remove the brake dust which is HUGE when you are doing a total reset on a hammered set of wheels! As for tire dressing, I Love CSI NuTyre, Next Level Tire Gel and Adam's Graphene tire dressing. Years ago I used NOTHING but Meguiars Hyper Dressing, very dilutable and zero sling (which boils down mostly to tire prep). On a tire coating Bob, I have used six different ones and in my opinion, Black Rhino Eco Shine is the easiest to deal with. By the way, that Mop N Glo trick is an "OG" trucker Trick, I Love it!!! Great video Bob! Happy Independence Day Brother! Last thought, a Rinseless wash would be a MUST add to your lineup. It's great for washing, light clean ups, glass cleaner, and interiors.. such a great product!! 🇺🇸
I 100% agree with the foaming action. It makes me feel like I’m actually cleaning something as for sent I prefer non scented. And for developing a new product a rinse less wash would be great because I don’t always have access to a hose and I’m constantly washing my truck where I live in the Pacific Northwest.
I’ve got an unscented version of my interior cleaner now, trouble is it still smells like the ingredients and that’s not great lol. Waterless wash is a great idea, I’ve been thinking about it and that might be a good fit for my line
I’m a fan of citrus or melon type scents for interior cleaners: , lemon, orange, . I forgot sandlewood, Cedarwood, bergamot are nice woodsy type aromas👍
I've been using Hotzy "Salt Lick" they say its safe to run through the pump which enables it to be actually used as a wash at high pressure with heat so it gets into all the crevasses. Really like it as quick outdoor wash even below freezing.
@ChemX I use stars and stripes after salt lick temperature permitting. But if it's below freezing I just use salt lick as a one step wash with no rinse.
Hi Bob!! For me, you've already nailed one of my favorite scents... Green Tea Citrus. I just recently ordered a bottle, so I'm cranked to do my whole F150 in it. I think it's a very calming smell. I'm very happy you spilled that #5 was Larry's AMMO Lather, but I'm still really wondering what the Fruit Loop sprays are. I also like the foam, because if anything, the suds seem to help carry away dirt and grime. I also use the color of the foam to help me determine if I'm done cleaning, because as long as fresh spray keeps turning nasty, I'm not finished. I WILL say that I'm really interested in the powdered Stars & Stripes idea because I'm just a home user, and it seems much easier to keep those little jars in my cleaning toolbox and just spoon out enough to just make a single foamer's worth than to keep big and heavy jugs of the stuff. All my cleaning kit is stored in my Craftsman VersaStack rolling toolkit, INCLUDING that little RYOBI pressure washer you abused :) I love it to death for my small jobs and I still get good washing with an upgraded lance and foamer. That goes in the bottom box, my solutions go in the medium box with other little extras, and then the top is an open tote with handle that goes inside the truck with me. Then when I'm done, I can put it all away inside the stack, snap the locks and roll it away for storage. In case it isn't obvious, I don't have a garage, so I tuck my stack of tools and chems away in a closet and just cart everything out as needed, so anything I can do to keep the physical space required to a minimum is where my mind goes to.
Nice I’m glad you like the green tea interior that’s cool to hear! Yeah ammo lather is one of my favorites, and the fruit loops is Koch chemie polstar. I’ll probably just use all the cleaners I have by name in the future, I was wanting to not diss anyone but turns out a like everyone else’s stuff better lol so I’ve legit only got positive things to say. I’m glad you mentioned the single use powder idea I’ve still got time for a last minute adjustment to the label to specify 1oz powder to a cannon for the right amount 😁👏👏
Yeah same I hate that my current interior cleaner leaves film on gauges and glass, can’t quite make something that leaves as good a finish on the rest without some film so far tho
How is it at attracting dust? Meguiars Hot shine tire coating is fav for my semi…. You can literally wipe the dust off without effecting shine… after awhile you have to pressure wash the tires off and restart… but it’s my go to
I've tried multiple brands over the last couple years, Koche Chemie Green Star is my go-to on interior APC, works great, smells good, and dilutes really well too, price is a little higher than P&S and others but in my opinion the dillution strength makes up for it.
It would be beneficial to provide a foaming version for deep cleaning and a non-foaming version for tasks such as wiping down or disinfecting like the gyeon interior cleaner with alcohol.I prefer the foaming version for heavy-duty cleaning, but for dusting, I enjoy the Gyeon Interior Cleaner. After using the foaming version i like do a quick wipe down with the Gyeon Interior Cleaner leaves a nice matte finish and no residue.
Yeah I may end up rolling with my current interior cleaner with more scent options if we can’t get the residue on glass issues figured out, and then maybe a new cleaner that’s low foam and no residue could be for light maintenance and maybe uv protection if possible without residue🤔
@@ChemX Try polstar from koch chemie for me that's a perfect interior cleaner high foaming and no residue left Try at 5:1 for heavy cleaning and 10:1 for normal use and then try the Asc from them as well it's the perfect from both sides I love your stuff and a shop like yours it's my dream.
You have a lot of work ahead of you, that is for sure. Bilthamber auto-foam snowfoam is the smell for me. I don't think that could get any better. I would be happy to try any of your samples, but I am in the UK!!
Also, maybe the corrosion resistance could be added to a Stripes version, like a Stripes+. Then you could use the standand two step cleaning but with the last step leaving the rust inhibitor behind.
That sounds good I’ll have to try that out. Yeah the rust inhibitor being built into stripes is something we will have to investigate I like that idea a lot
Tire shine - KOCH Chemie Plast Star and Tire Glaze are amazing. I do not like coatings. I feel they dull out and the install can be a pain. Carpro Darkside is a good option, though. Zero sling is important, as you stated. Another important point is the ability to vary shine. People tend to like shiny, or matte. A lot of the products I use are stackable. Let the product set/dry, then add coats to increase shine as you wish. Adam’s Graphene tire dressing is a good water base. Silicone can be a pain as it’s difficult to wash out of applicators, brushes, etc. Also can be a pain to strip from the tire.
I’ll have to try those out. My current tire shine is silicone, and it’s messy just like you mentioned so I’m leaning toward water based on the next round
For your interior cleaner i still like the idea of a doall kind of cleaner either for those that don't want/care enough to specialize to the object they're cleaning. Having somw specialized stuff for say a dedicated leather cream or gel could be useful as well as plastic specifc uv protectant kind of stuff along side the doall type of product. A cloth upholstery cleaner would be sweet. Heavy duty cleans great but doesn't have a nice fresh scent and sometimes leaves cloth stiff and coarse feeling. I wouldn't sacrifice your interior cleaner just to make it glass friendly. Typical practice is to do glass last anyway and its not hard to buff off a little chrome or a screen. But some additional scents would be great. Regarding spray bottles, your current spray heads are the best I've used. Nice even mist application of the product. Bottle wise it might be nice to have a large version for detail shops, garage guys, and such. Then a cup holder size bottle people could keep in their car or just stick in the cup holders while cleaning to avoid it falling over. I'm excited for the salt neutralizer for sure.
Awesome input thank you! I do like my current triggers too but I’d like to have a three finger trigger and a narrower 32oz bottle to fit in the hand better, I might go with an opaque bottle across the board as well for durability and consistent appearance next to the gallons 🤔
Yeah for sure that would work, my chemist says the inhibitor well stay even after a rinse also, which makes sense you wouldn’t want it to come off if the vehicle got wet after
Bob, if that last iron remover is yours, it’s a winner. One issue with fallout remover is reaction time. Yours looks like it reacts almost instantly and hits very hard when it does. If this is what is to come from your retail version, I will switch immediately.
Yes, the more viscosity you have, the better. The longer it stays in the target area to do work, the better. Also, it’s typically used as coat, and rinse product, unless cleaning wheels.
Sweet thank you for the input I appreciate it, the low order was one of our own concepts also, but it def does not work as well. I think I will embrace the gross smelling formula that I used on that last pass, might name it Witches’ Brew🤔
as far as scent goes.. i find that if i use too many things that leave a scent (interior cleaner, leather cleaner, apc, etc) then all the smells together get pretty overwhelming and I just have to air out the vehicle. so.. simple fragrances that work with each other?
Hey Man, every bottle I have ever tried usually fails within 1 month of chemical in them. The bottles themselves are fine but the trigger and sprayer always fails. Do your D lime bottles hold up to like wheel cleaners etc? Pretty intense stuff.
So what a lid designed like some of the gallon tin olive oil containers? You pull the tab and while you are pulling the tab, there is a sleeve that comes out with it at the same time….that way you would have the shoulder area and the sleeve that comes out with the pull tab contains the powder?
Oh that’s a cool idea, I sourced a 16oz jar that has a neck that fits into the 5g pail but the shoulder does not, seems to work perfect and keep everything going in easy
Would it be possible to incorporate the rust neutralizer into the Stars and Stripes to make it an all in one? I’m sure you have thought of it already. Just wondering
It’s def something I’ve talked with my chemist about and I’d be interested to add that feature, I think there would still be a demand for a dedicated single step neutralizer for undercarriage work and equipment
Bob I’m thinking if these are interior cleaners for plastic, vinyl, rubber surfaces, upholstery and carpets. Then how is it possible that their intended use would be capable as a bonified glass cleaner? I’m just spit balling here👍
I know yeah I’m wondering if it’s possible to get the job done on all those surfaces and not leave residue on glass, might be a roadblock but we gotta try lol
I’d love to see the salt neutralizer be something that works really well with undercarriage washers. Also for reference my go to interior cleaner has been the meguirs interior detailer but I’m not happy with it. And my go to metal polish is nevrdull (I think that’s how it’s spelled)
I’d love to offer a cost effective undercarriage rinser with a simple power washer injector to apply the neutralizer, that’s one reason I want to accomplish the goal with a single step soap
I think it’s a matter of do you want any sort of protection/anti static property to your cleaner or not. The ones with protection are the runny non foaming ones while just the straight cleaning ones usually foam up nicely. The industry standards in 2024 would be in no order: - Armour detail supply pilot - lithium - P&S express - Koch chemie pol star - griots interior cleaner - phoenix eod typhon - laboscosmetica omnia 2.0 and ductile - diy interior clean & protect - ethos - carpro quick detailer
Me personally I love a good smelling interior cleaner but not an over powering smell. I’d love to find a cleaner that smells like Lucas Slick Mist spray wax cause I love the smell of that stuff. The brand Chemical Guys All Purpose Interior has a really good smell too but my favorite is the Lucas, I’ll just spray it thick on a micro fiber and lay it on my seat and use it as an air freshener in my vehicles and in my semi.
I’m a end dump driver so this video is Amazing , I can’t get enough of your uploads 🙏🏻, I would love me a interior cleaner scented like blueberries or nature fresh air ( like if you just walked threw a forest) type deal 👍🏽
That’s a really good idea I have some great local detailers that I’m friends with, I could imagine a blind test with them using the options with a reveal of what the options were after would be a great concept🤔
I’m pretty sure I had p&s express in the blind test but I forget which one it was, I’m sure it did very well. I don’t think I’ve tried griots though I’ll have to bring some in
Thank you! I’d love to offer my stuff out there just need the right person to step up as a relay point to help cover the UK and keep shipping and turnaround reasonable
One last lone Jedi to consider: Turtle Wax Inside Job. It’s Cleans and Protects, leaves a matte finish not intended for upholstery/ carpets. Or windows.. The scent is an Açaí aroma.
Thanks for the great video, I didn’t skip a second I wrote a long comment with my preferred products in each category but it got deleted before posting 😅.. I’ll email you my suggestions. Best of luck Bob
How about Murphys oil soap scent in a cleaner that actually cleans. As we all know Murphys smells great but not very aggressive as its made for fine wood products. I'd guess the scent is copyrighted but maybe get close.
@ChemX no I wouldn't say pine (can't stand Pine-sol) Honestly I can't think of anything to compare it to. I just know I grew up smelling it with fond memories lol.
Id love a fresh lemon scent, but made with real lemon oil not that artificial stuff. Also i used to have a menthol and eucalyptus car fragrance, that was banging,smelt amazing and cleared your chest too 💪💪
Don’t be modest Bob, your channel kicks ass compared to Ammonyc. I’ve tried watching their content but always came back to your channel. They seem to be mediocre in comparison to your heavy duty pressure washers/chemical concoctions. Keep it up dude!
Hi mate watch you all the time in from London in the uk and drive trucks but love to keep them ultra clean little acd. Id be happy to try some of your products. 😊 get in touch if this interests you
I need to get a relay point going out there so we can ship to a hub in bulk who can distribute via their own website somehow, just looking for the right connect
@@ChemX well please get in contact whatever I can do to help I’ll be very happy to! I have many cleaners and ideas maybe we can have a proper conversation 🙂
lol thanks for the enthusiasm I appreciate it! I made a slight change tho, I want to keep the word freedom for another soap and now I’m thinking “Patriot Powder”😁👏🇺🇸🇺🇸
Nice work Bob! Thanks for the shout out guys!
Boston trucker is the man
Thanks Mike and solid advice on the mop n glow those tires looked mint 😁👏👏
This was what we call value added entertainment👌🏼💥
Sweet thank you I appreciate that 😁👏
Nice job 👍👍👍👍

Never thought I'd enjoy watching a 2+hr video on detailing and detailing products and enjoy it but here I am enjoying it lol
And not me headed to get Mop n Glow
P & S XPRESS Interior cleans well , foam’s very well and I I’ve used it at 1:1 dilution
I’ve always heard great things about it, I’m pretty sure it was actually in my blind tests here but I’ll have to check and see
@@ChemX yeah if I recall XPRESS smells like mild Pineapple but some say Fruit Loops🤙
@@ChemXLove p&s other then it does leave residue on glass
It’s not hugely popular in the US, but the brand Vonixx (from Brazil) has an interior cleaner called Sintra that’s my favorite. The larger volume containers are concentrates that have fantastic dilution ratios, and the actual cleaning power genuinely surprised me the first time I used it (at a ~1:10 dilution). A nice bonus is that it sanitizes as well.
Edit: I’m fairly sure I know which product Standard 9 was, and that’s more an interior detailer than a dedicated cleaner, so it’s not really meant for heavy grime. (That said, the company did just release a dedicated interior cleaner a few days ago.) Also, as satisfying as the foam is visually, it’s more a pain to get it out of crevices than anything else-not generally a desirable trait from a true detailing perspective.
Interesting yeah I can imagine the benefits to not having a lot of foam also. I’d love to try out the Vonixx option I’ll have to see if it is available in the USA
Started using ur products on just everyday detailing for small to medium size vehicles. Works amazing and real time saver. That snake oil a good up charge too being able to see the results instant
That’s awesome to hear I’m glad that these ideas are helping you out!
For dash panels i use sprayway glass cleaner. Can do the entire truck with it if you wanted but its just so easy for interior since it won't streak
That’s probably one of the best ways to hit the gauge area I bet
I'm going to give you props for your process! Home schoolers are taught to think for themselves 🎉
lol yeah that’s done well for me I gotta say
Been watching your videos since yesterday morning I can’t stop watching the outcome of the wash I’m so tempted to purchase Stars and Stripes + snake oil

Killer input Doug thank you I’ll have to try out all those options I hope ya had a great weekend!
huge P & S express and swift fan!! foams very well with zero residue
I haven’t tried the swift option but I think one of my blind samples was p&s express, I forget which one though is have to look at my notes there
@@ChemX can’t wait to try yours. Heavy duty has been a breakthrough for me and it’s cleaning power.
The smell of fresh cut grass/alfalfa from the farm. Plus love the R model. Drove many of them in the day. Cool to see a Fruehauf tub.
That’s an interesting idea, I’m def looking for something different too
I 100% agree with the foaming action. It makes me feel like I’m actually cleaning something as for sent I prefer non scented.

Please make these available in UK, really want to try them and the new powder form could work really well for cross country shipping
That’s my goal yeah the powder form could ship via air so it’s possible to open up Stars and Stripes to international orders very soon
We’ve used all three scents in our business. My wife has scent allergies so unscented or some minimal scent ones help in those situations.
I like a mild smell froths up well and does not stain and won’t leave a residue behind and type of easy sprayer trigger
Yeah I agree that would be my preference too I think
Accuride is just an aluminum wheel manufacturer. Basically, it's a lesser known Alcoa.
Yeah, looks like they are coated also though probably similar to Alcoa Durabrite, not sure the nuances to the differences tho
I’m a fan of citrus or melon type scents for interior cleaners: , lemon, orange, . I forgot sandlewood, Cedarwood, bergamot are nice woodsy type aromas👍

You can get the IK triggers at clean garage. Probably a demand issue.
try terry clothes with the aluminum polish seems like it works better then microfiber. the green tea smell it pretty good.
The hdpe and pete bottles ive actually unloaded a bulk trailer full of both those products in pellet form
Awesome video….for interior cleaners I’m more for how well it cleans and if it leaves film on gauges and glass the smell is very minimal for me
Yeah same I hate that my current interior cleaner leaves film on gauges and glass, can’t quite make something that leaves as good a finish on the rest without some film so far tho
decked out by Shine Supply is by far my favorite tire shine so far. Especially diluted 2:1 for that matte finish.

Milwaukee makes a pistol grip polisher use with a 3" foam pad for aluminum. Great for wheels
I’m going to buy that right now lol thank you for the heads up
First off love the videos especially seeing the results,what would you recommend to clean my 4x4 quad after a weekend of mud riding
Thank you yeah def my heavy duty wash, it’s been the best thing for me so far to get mud off my jeep and quad
What about cleaning truck normally and putting salt neutralizer after and see what it leaves behind if not rinsed off on a clean surface
Yeah for sure that would work, my chemist says the inhibitor well stay even after a rinse also, which makes sense you wouldn’t want it to come off if the vehicle got wet after

That’s a very good point anything designed to be used in conjunction should go well together on a scent level 🤔
I like an Irish Spring or pinesol lemon smell, it makes it smell clean and puts me in a good mood lol
I love the idea of being in a good mood lol
When will you offer a rust remover product?
I usually like green apple for interior cleaners
what a rig!!! USA USA USA !! Hope ya'll had a gr8 4th!!
Thanks couz you too!
This will be a good one to have on in the garage while I detail this RS6
Sweet let’s hang out😁👏
Hey Man, every bottle I have ever tried usually fails within 1 month of chemical in them. The bottles themselves are fine but the trigger and sprayer always fails. Do your D lime bottles hold up to like wheel cleaners etc? Pretty intense stuff.
I think you should create a anti snow and ice stick.
Like one of those styrofoam rectangle on a pole things?
@@ChemX No a liquid that prevents ice and snow accumulations
Question. You still carry “your” 5 gallon jugs & spout? They are nice & sturdy.
Yeah I do have them within my expansion pack kits but I may add them to my website standalone too
I’m a month late here to mention a black ice scented interior cleaner sounds phenomenal!!!
So what a lid designed like some of the gallon tin olive oil containers? You pull the tab and while you are pulling the tab, there is a sleeve that comes out with it at the same time….that way you would have the shoulder area and the sleeve that comes out with the pull tab contains the powder?
Oh that’s a cool idea, I sourced a 16oz jar that has a neck that fits into the 5g pail but the shoulder does not, seems to work perfect and keep everything going in easy
Would it be possible to incorporate the rust neutralizer into the Stars and Stripes to make it an all in one? I’m sure you have thought of it already. Just wondering
It’s def something I’ve talked with my chemist about and I’d be interested to add that feature, I think there would still be a demand for a dedicated single step neutralizer for undercarriage work and equipment
what kind of system would you sugest for at home for just clean from time to time
Bob I’m thinking if these are interior cleaners for plastic, vinyl, rubber surfaces, upholstery and carpets. Then how is it possible that their intended use would be capable as a bonified glass cleaner? I’m just spit balling here👍
I know yeah I’m wondering if it’s possible to get the job done on all those surfaces and not leave residue on glass, might be a roadblock but we gotta try lol
I’d love to see the salt neutralizer be something that works really well with undercarriage washers.
Also for reference my go to interior cleaner has been the meguirs interior detailer but I’m not happy with it.
And my go to metal polish is nevrdull (I think that’s how it’s spelled)
I’d love to offer a cost effective undercarriage rinser with a simple power washer injector to apply the neutralizer, that’s one reason I want to accomplish the goal with a single step soap
I think it’s a matter of do you want any sort of protection/anti static property to your cleaner or not. The ones with protection are the runny non foaming ones while just the straight cleaning ones usually foam up nicely. The industry standards in 2024 would be in no order:
- Armour detail supply pilot
- lithium
- P&S express
- Koch chemie pol star
- griots interior cleaner
- phoenix eod typhon
- laboscosmetica omnia 2.0 and ductile
- diy interior clean & protect
- ethos
- carpro quick detailer
Awesome input thank you I’ll have to bring in these and try them out
Me personally I love a good smelling interior cleaner but not an over powering smell. I’d love to find a cleaner that smells like Lucas Slick Mist spray wax cause I love the smell of that stuff. The brand Chemical Guys All Purpose Interior has a really good smell too but my favorite is the Lucas, I’ll just spray it thick on a micro fiber and lay it on my seat and use it as an air freshener in my vehicles and in my semi.
Great input I’ll look into those thank you!
P&s absolute has a very good smell. But it’s a rinse less wash
that is a cool truck .
Hey Bob when will your single step soup be ready?
Rust remover and inhibitor for our heavy equipment and trucks on the west coast
Absolutely yeah it should be helpful near coastlines and especially where salt is used in the roads
P and S Xspress interior cleaner is very good and the sent is very good foams up well to
For sure yeah one of the blind tests here was p&s xpress I forget which one tho
Also any kind of odor additive to your interior cleaner would be nice.
That’s a really good idea thank you
I’m a end dump driver so this video is Amazing , I can’t get enough of your uploads 🙏🏻,
I would love me a interior cleaner scented like blueberries or nature fresh air ( like if you just walked threw a forest) type deal 👍🏽
Adams Total interior cleaner is blueberry scented. Sorry Bob
Thank you! Yeah those are good unique ideas I could see those options
Use the iron remover on a cars wheels and rotors and youll see its full effect
Definitely I’m looking forward to playing with this stuff more
Although I love the videos, I nonetheless believe it would be beneficial to have some actual detailers visit to assist in a video like this.
That’s a really good idea I have some great local detailers that I’m friends with, I could imagine a blind test with them using the options with a reveal of what the options were after would be a great concept🤔
Thank you great job !!!!!!!!!
p&s interior cleaner and griot's interior cleaner are some of the best, you should give them a try 👍
Griots Interior Cleaner is one of my favorites as it has no scent and leaves no residue
I’m pretty sure I had p&s express in the blind test but I forget which one it was, I’m sure it did very well. I don’t think I’ve tried griots though I’ll have to bring some in
My fav sent in general has got to mint or blackcurrent
Great options for sure and unique also
Use a funel for to pour the powder out
How much is the bottle unscented
we need your products in australia!!
Love your content bro, I'm in the uk and as far as I know we don't have anything like this here
Rahhhhhhhhhh how’s that L taste ??????
Thank you! I’d love to offer my stuff out there just need the right person to step up as a relay point to help cover the UK and keep shipping and turnaround reasonable
One last lone Jedi to consider: Turtle Wax Inside Job. It’s Cleans and Protects, leaves a matte finish not intended for upholstery/ carpets. Or windows.. The scent is an Açaí aroma.
I’ll have to try that out thank you for the suggestion!
@@ChemX you bet give Kona a hug for me👍
Whats the name of interior cleaner #2?
How much is your steam cleaners
Do you sell a small steam cleaner
Happy 4th july australia
Happy fourth from the USA bud 😁👏💯🇺🇸
Awesome video!
Thanks!
Sudlabs interior cleaner I like itt 💪🏻💪🏻
OK cool thank you I’ll look into that!
I'm gonna use mop n glo to see the results of that
Same yeah those tires looked perfect
P&S makes a great interior cleaner.
Yeah I’ve always heard good things about it, one of my blind samples was p&s express I believe, not sure which one of the top of my head tho
That truck and trailer came out looking AWESOME,, but they need aluminum wheels on the trailer to make it jump out .
Thank you yeah that would def pop with some polished rims I agree
Thanks for the great video, I didn’t skip a second
I wrote a long comment with my preferred products in each category but it got deleted before posting 😅.. I’ll email you my suggestions. Best of luck Bob
Im from the uk but i will say my go to is meguiars
What’s the best option from meguires in your opinion?
How about Murphys oil soap scent in a cleaner that actually cleans. As we all know Murphys smells great but not very aggressive as its made for fine wood products. I'd guess the scent is copyrighted but maybe get close.
Yeah what is that scent exactly like pine maybe?
@ChemX no I wouldn't say pine (can't stand Pine-sol) Honestly I can't think of anything to compare it to. I just know I grew up smelling it with fond memories lol.
Adams interior detailer or total interior cleaner are the best. Everyone raves about p&s but it leaves residue behind...really not a fan of it
I’ll have to give those a try, I’m preferring no residue myself as well
I so want a bottle of black ice interior cleaner
Yeah black ice is something we could do, I’m thinking tobacco might also be interesting🤔
@@ChemX 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I have very dry show truck I wud like to try your products
Id love a fresh lemon scent, but made with real lemon oil not that artificial stuff.
Also i used to have a menthol and eucalyptus car fragrance, that was banging,smelt amazing and cleared your chest too 💪💪
Yeah gotta be real, menthol and eucalyptus sounds real interesting I’d love to try that
I just wanted to see the cleaning not the blabbing about the test cleaners.
Green tea scent would be Koch Chemie 👍
Koch chemie has some seriously great scents
Don’t be modest Bob, your channel kicks ass compared to Ammonyc. I’ve tried watching their content but always came back to your channel. They seem to be mediocre in comparison to your heavy duty pressure washers/chemical concoctions. Keep it up dude!
Appreciate the support bud thank you, I do like ammo myself I’ve learned a lot from Larry over the years and I love his approach to his videos
P&S interior cleaner does what you want
Probably yeah I’m pretty sure I had it in the blind tests, I’ve only ever heard good things about it
I would say fresh to new vehicle smell for interior. No smear on windows or gages
I agree 100%
black ice for me
Hi mate watch you all the time in from London in the uk and drive trucks but love to keep them ultra clean little acd. Id be happy to try some of your products. 😊 get in touch if this interests you
I need to get a relay point going out there so we can ship to a hub in bulk who can distribute via their own website somehow, just looking for the right connect
@@ChemX well please get in contact whatever I can do to help I’ll be very happy to! I have many cleaners and ideas maybe we can have a proper conversation 🙂
@Chem-X I need some Freedom Powder!!!!!
lol thanks for the enthusiasm I appreciate it! I made a slight change tho, I want to keep the word freedom for another soap and now I’m thinking “Patriot Powder”😁👏🇺🇸🇺🇸
@@ChemX The name doesn't matter to me 😉 do you have samples of the Patriot Powders? I'd love to help test them and bring them to market!
instead of looking for a container for your powder just put in a plastic envelope so it can be dumped into your larger 5gal
That’s a good idea maybe down the road we can get some gear that can handle packaging into bags, my wipes would benefit from that a lot too
For a deeper cut add diesel fuel and lighter fluid.
I want it to smell clean... No strong smell
I like that too yeah
Why don’t you make a cleaner that smells like cherries? That’s what I like
I’ve had a bunch of people ask for the liquidx scent for interior cleaner that’s cherry also, not a bad idea at all
