Well here's the next review. I'm glad this was included in the package that I received from the Autopia facebook giveaway some time ago. I always heard good things about this product.

BLACKFIRE Microfiber Cleaner & Restorer (http://www.autogeek.net/blackfire-microfiber-cleaner.html)

I recently did some leather cleaning as seen in this thread

http://www.autogeekonline.net/forum/product-reviews/93762-review-meguiar-s-d180-leather-cleaner-conditioner-d181-leather-cleaner.html

Seeing as how dirty the towels were, it was a perfect time to test this microfiber cleaner out. This is the second time I used it. The first time I used it at 2 oz with a standard size load. This load was a little larger so I went with 2 1/2 oz.

Directions state to use 2 oz for a medium load and 4 oz for a large load. The built in measuring cup comes in handy and makes it easy to get the proper amount.


Here's the towel before

Not only did this work very well in cleaning this towel but it worked very well on the other towels as well. It left them feeling soft. I have used microfiber cleaners from Wolfgang, Detailer's Pro and 3D Towel Kleen. All of them do a very good job of maintaining the softness of the towels as well as keeping them clean.

3D Towel Kleen is by far the most economical of the bunch. But they are all on par with each other in terms of cleaning power and towel softness.

In my opinion, one can't go wrong with either product. It's another great product from the Blackfire line.

Very nice review! I've been wanting to try this for a while now. I currently have 3d towel Kleen and I'm not sure why, but I don't love it. The cleaning power is great, but for actually releasing the dirt embedded in the fibers, I don't think it does a good job. Are you using a vinegar rinse with any of these products to keep them soft? Or just the Towel Kleen?

Thanks.

I am not using any vinegar rinse. Simply just the product alone.

One thing to note is that these cleaners will not remove heavy stains that are embedded. That's from my personal experience.

The big benefit is that they remain soft unlike tossing them in with regular laundry detergent.

Give this one a shot. It works very well.

I use the Blackfire as well and never saw the need for a vinegar rinse.

It's a towel that comes in the Meguiar's Leather Sealer System.

The towel has stains that no cleaner will remove but out of 10, I am giving it a 10 as it got the towel looking like it was prior to using it.
