    Thrifty Vs Fifty : Ultima Waterless Wash + Concentrate vs Blackfire Interior Cleaner

    Welcome guys, this is the first episode in a series of videos I'm making called Thrifty vs Fifty. Essentially I'm comparing two products that can do the same function: one with a low price tag and the other with a high one... and to see if the added price is worth it. Hence, the thrifty vs fifty.

    Today's episode is Ultima Waterless Wash + Concentrate (Thrifty) vs Blackfire Interior Cleaner (Fifty) on coated leather seats. What is the conclusion and where does the advantage go? Stay tuned to find out.

    UWW+:

    Price: $21 for 16 ounces of concentrate

    Price as tested: $0.85 for 22 ounces ($0.65 came from concentrate, and 21.5 ounces of deionized water cost ~ $0.20)

    Price per ounce of diluted product: $0.04


    Blackfire Interior Cleaner:

    Price: $18

    Price as tested: $5 (sample product of 4 ounces. Free if you add to order of $50 or more on AG).

    Price per ounce: $0.90 (note this is when calculating from 20 oz bottle, not sample)





    Conclusion:

    For a deep clean, I would recommend the interior cleaner. For a maintenance, I would use the UWW+.

    Advantage:

    Blackfire Interior Clean for taking off that white paint


    Product Links:

    Ultima Waterless Wash Plus+ Concentrate, concentrated waterless auto wash, waterless car wash

    BLACKFIRE Interior Cleaner, dashboard cleaner, vinyl cleaner

    Try it! Honestly one of the best drinks I have ever made. I did recently come up with a similar concoction for a guava mango martini... a REALLY close second.

    Call me girly, but the fruity drinks are where they are at. I don't know anyone who can literally say they like the taste of alcohol lmao!

    Thanks for subscribing.. btw I really like your youtube username hahaha. When I got the email that you subscribed to me, I almost fell out of my chair no lie

    Hey Roshan,

    Thanks for taking the time to compare and video the 2 product test.

    I like the Ultima Waterless Wash for all the reasons you mention but I only use it on the exterior finish, I've never tried using it on the interior.

    Ultima Waterless Wash dilutes well for a clay lube or for a light detailing spray and economical it is.

    BlackFire Interior Cleaner
    is specifically formulated for cleaning vinyl, leather, plastics, and upholstery. I'm not surprised to see the interior cleaner better at removing dirt and grime which is your mail goal...

    Bottom line: if a product works use it and use it often...

    Looking forward to more of your video's!

    Thank you!

    Kudos for the video and thank you for sharing.

    Shouldn't you compare products in the same category at least? For example, maybe compare the Sonus All-IN-1 Total Auto Cleaner Concentrate against the Blackfire Interior Cleaner or maybe Blackfire against 1Z Einszett Cockpit Premium or Plastic Deep Cleaner. Comparing a waterless wash against an APC isn't really fair. Just an observation.

    Again, thank you for the videos you are posting. Your voice is very clear and easy to understand.
