Here at Autogeek, if it has paint it gets polished, and if it has dirt, it gets cleaned! Do you see the trend here? Needless to say, the cars in the Autogeek parking lot aren't the only thing that gets detailed on a regular basis.

Late last week I was given a special assignment that had to do with cleaning a dirty rack. Why not make a fun project out of it, right? Although I'd much rather be testing out new spray waxes and spray sealants on Max's CLS63 AMG, I'll tackle any job that's thrown my way. That is, so long as I get to do it my way.

My weapons of choice? Blackfire All-N-One APC and a Short Handle Tire & Wheel Brush.

Why did I choose Blackfire All-N-One APC for this task? Because it cleans very well, is safe for virtually any surface, and it doesn't contain any harsh chemical smell. If you have sensitive skin or if you're a hand model part-time, you don't have to worry about it drying out your skin.

Blackfire All-N-One APC made quick work of all the dirt and grime.

Once I finished cleaning the entire rack I rinsed it off and dried it using a Cobra Guzzler Waffle Weave Drying Towel.

I guarantee this is the only rack in the state of Florida that will turn heads and create whiplash!

If it's dirty, Blackfire All-N-One APC (http://www.autogeek.net/blackfire-apc-all-purpose-cleaner.html) can clean it. :dblthumb2:

Expensive APC for that thing ;) I would have used some - cheaper - Zep from Home Depot.

That's true, except I wouldn't want to get Zep on my paint, chrome, wheels, tires, leather, or my hands - all of which Blackfire All-N-One APC is safe on. :dblthumb2:

Having one product that does it all is cheaper in the long run that having multiple products. :)

Nick...My understanding was that the "New Kid on the Block" (Ray) was to be your underling. Perhaps I was mistaken?

Anywho...

Nice ventilated:
Money-Storage-Rack for: Max's-Money-Pile(s)! (I'm sure, though, there are a "few" more that is in need of cleaning, also)

BTW: When do we get a peek inside His AGO Vault? {Love to see the 'finish' on that behemoth!}

:D

That's my motto. If it doesn't move, detail it. If it does move, try and catch it to detail it.

Was the dirt on the bottom rack not cleaned or would not the BF APC not clean it?

It's actually residue from stickers, not dirt. This rack isn't for display purposes so it wasn't given a three-step makeover including a coat of 303 Aerospace Protectant. :laughing:

Is it strange to seal the outside of my stainless steel coffee pot with Klasse AIO? :surrender:

.

I use Zep Citrus Heavy Duty (diluted) on my tires and wells. But, I do agree with having only one product.

BF APC would be a great BOGO (gallon size)!
