Here’s my 1st experiences with the new Blackfire Carpet & Upholstery Cleaner. I think it will provide a bit of insight on how it performs in a variety of different situations/levels of dirt. Lets check it out.
Ok so this came in just in time for a detail that will shake most to the core. I think I should make a disclaimer and say that this 1st test subject is not your typical level of dirty. It’s almost unfair to judge any cleaner on this level, but I couldn’t help but test it out and it’s what happened to be in front of me this past weekend. Brace yourself, this isn’t for the faint hearted. Lol.
Interior from Hell.

You would’ve thought the Devil himself dropped this turd off in my driveway... But actually it was just my uncle, the same guy who sold me my current Cadillac. He just totaled his car [it was the other drivers fault] and he picked up this Camry for dirt cheap [dirt included. Lol] So of course I said sure I’ll detail it sight unseen...

1st test spot for the Blackfire Carpet & Upholstery Cleaner will be the drivers seat.

Shameless Plug goes to Wolfgang All Surface Cleaner, which I poured a little glug into my bucket full of scrub brushes.

Less than 1oz. created some nice suds to dip my brushes into.[emoji6]

This is the seat back after 1st round. Spray, let dwell for 1 min. scrub and then mop up. As you can see, lots of grime came off, but waay more to go... Interior from Hell.

Stubborn dirt/stain.
https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180221/a397a4146695561e86ee87913e765581.jpg
This is after 2 rounds of scrubbing.

All this came off, and it was Still more to go. Interior from Hell is an extreme case..
https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180221/affab14f602cf27cfd37a9691723d635.jpg
I decided to throw in the towel for now. No pun intended. Lol.
https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180221/69833984f4ffbcfea8a573ece51d7188.jpg
At this point it would’ve just been a waste of product, so I continued to do battle on the drivers side with everything including the kitchen sink and it was like going to war.
....Moving onto the passenger side, where things only got worse! Interior from Hell Part 2.
This is where Blackfire Engine Degreaser makes a cameo. I don’t usually use Engine Degreaser on interiors... But when I do, it’s because interior is from Hell. Lol.
This is just too much...

I don’t even know what this is. All I know is it was hard and caked on dry.

Spray, let dwell for 5 min... Spray again. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180221/3d603d375cb0b4264213f9efbba2a8c5.jpg

Cyclo Brushes...

Manual brushes. [this like the 3rd. bucket that turned this black from that interior]

Why the heck did I agree to this car. I honestly told myself I’m never detailing interiors for other people ever again.[emoji19] Interior from Hell. Cruel punishment and unfair test subject for review, I’m not sure if I should hit the post button but I had to get this off my chest. Lol.
