[@BlackIce1619]

This is the type of video that deserves 1M views compared to other car detailing videos available. Complete in depth review of product and total education moment. THANK YOU... and congrats on all the success you have had in your business. Your videos are awesome and are what makes me want to try all of your new business adventures with DIY Details :)

[@HawkProDetailing]

thank you!!

[@kevind_53]

I remember two, three yeara ago. You told us to stop using auto detailing carpet cleaner and use professional carpet cleaner. And here you are making your arguments even more solide🌛🚀

[@HawkProDetailing]

It's good stuff!

Pro carpet cleaning gear is the bee's knees.

[@refreshmyride]

This is one of the most under rated detailing videos on KZbin 👍🏼 amazing knowledge in that mans brain.

[@HawkProDetailing]

i'm glad i got a chance to interview him! Thanks for taking the time to watch it

[@sharpreflectionsdetailing7265]

Very amazing video! I thank you and everyone involved in the making of this. What an amazing inside look. Thank you!

[@HawkProDetailing]

Thanks bro! I'm all about education...

What will You recomend for coffee stain ??

[@JasonSantos-y1o]

What about flex fire? When can and should I use this

[@HawkProDetailing]

@@JasonSantos-y1o just use bio break and flex ice, flex fire quickly ended up on my shelf and never returned

[@stefanpuffer]

What do you think of their coffee stain remover? Would it even be needed if you were using the Bio Break and Flex Ice combo?

[@mikemartinez524]

Definitely going to try this combo. Thanks for sharing 👍

[@ThisIsSparta300]

Guys ready to sniff a line of the stuff 😆 🤣 😂

[@JuanZepeda-pn4yn]

what is the difference between Flex fire and Bio Break?

[@johnadona3014]

Hawk I dont like the smell of the flex ice smells. How do i remove it. Should i just do a hot water plain extraction

[@HawkProDetailing]

Yep that would make sense to me. How much did you put in your extractor I wonder? I know it has a maple smell but it shouldn't "last" in terms of how it smells after it dries. I find it to be very forgettable once it dries....the smell shouldn't stick around

[@neilwalker5041]

Growing up we my family had a small privately owned carpet manufacturing business. This chemist is really smart and really cool. I need to obtain these products.

[@HawkProDetailing]

He's awesome! Are my links broken? For some reason they work on my end 🤷‍♂️

[@GrantRTanner]

What's your favorite for pet urine stain?

[@s.h.vortex5883]

that man is so passionate about his product's smell

[@HawkProDetailing]

Lol each product is his baby

[@detailgrandma22]

I LOVE my Fkex products! Carlos Serrano gifted them to me when I was feeling defeated with seats and carpets.

[@HawkProDetailing]

great to hear! Bio Break is a game changer on seats, flex ice is great in the extractor

[@kevincampbell8298]

Thanks for shari g this and your old carpet cleaning video. It helped me do a better job in less time

[@Reaper-Jim]

I used a hot water extractor with baking soda and vinegar for years before I discovered Bridgepoint Systems. Yes, I bought into detailing upholstery cleaners but soon realized they just weren’t adequate for what I needed. Once you use something like Bio Break, there’s really no going back.

[@HawkProDetailing]

Thanks man! I've had some people tell me they have tried bio break and didn't love it... I'm like.... what?! Lol I just wanted to have Tom explain the magic. Basically he uses high quality raw materials...I had no idea that phosphates could help...I know they're way more expensive. But 42 bucks a jug for bio break is nothing... one scoop a job and it lasts forever

[@Reaper-Jim]

@@HawkProDetailing it’s actually not that expensive considering how little you use. I mean, 1 ounce per gallon is more than enough to crush 99.9% of stains/dirt/grease. It’s also an almost immediate dissolving product … that part is so important. It mixes very quickly. There ARE products like P&S Carpet Bomber (and the like) that are somewhat effective but they don’t come close to what a professional grade cleaner can do. I have, literally, not run into anything I can’t clean 100% with Bio. Magic? I don’t know … but winning? Absolutely. 😊😊😊

[@HawkProDetailing]

@@Reaper-Jim yESSIR!

[@MADmasky]

@@Reaper-Jim but do you use only bio or you need to lower the pH after the bio? Also, can it be used for home carpets/couches? Thnx

[@8-point]

What is the difference between bio break and flex ice is there difference situations in which to use them?

[@HawkProDetailing]

bio break as your pre spray, you spray on...let dwell, then agitate. flex ice goes in your extractor basin, it's an acid rinse so it will help neutralize the high ph left in the carpet from bio break

[@ai.m.g]

how do u dilute it says oz then it says 1.5 cup

[@EricHummel-hd1fy]

Any alternative to flex ice if customers do not like the smell?

[@HawkProDetailing]

have you had complaints? It's pretty. mild in my experience

[@ObeseChess]

My Fiesta’s Recaro seats need some WORK and this may do the job. Thanks!

[@ElvisRobinson05]

This video has just made me want to purchase the flex and bio even more for my interior detail :)

[@HawkProDetailing]

You won't regret it

[@TheSvoboda]

Hey Nick - looking a new fabric cleaners for my shop. We currently use Meguiar's system. So it uses Fiber Rinse as step 1, which is akin to flex ice as a prespotter to neutralize and remove tannin stains. Do you need anything like that before using Bio Break? Or will it work on tannin stains as well?

[@BUDDAHBANDZ]

Bio break vs realsit encap DS2????

[@dacoldest3896]

What do they make that can remove urine stains and odor??

[@No1WatchesUrTTV]

Bio release - enzyme Bridgepoint Urine stain remover - peroxide

[@2atya]

Holy shit this is invaluable info

[@HawkProDetailing]

enjoy! thanks for watching as well

[@JLocauto]

Can anyone help with getting cat urine smell off?

[@lovingeachothernow]

Great video! Does Flex Ice hurt your extractor pump if you leave water mixed with it overnight in your extractor?

[@pullingthestrings5233]

Yes

[@johng753]

At my shop I’ve been using Flex Powder with Citrus-Solv and Flex ICE for extraction rinse. What is the difference between Flex Powder and Bio-Break and why is Bio-Break a better pre treatment to use?

[@bengarcia6898]

Bio break has enzymes and is meant for oil base stains and stuff

[@JLocauto]

​@@bengarcia6898what about for smells like cat urine ?

[@notsodelusional]

Link for urine neutralizer is not working - fyi.

[@achkc]

So for interior details where you don’t want to bust out a big extractor and don’t have time to wait for encapsulate products to dry what do you recommend? We offer a heavy interior or basic interior. Heavy includes extractor but the basic does not and we are most efficient in the basic package.

[@HawkProDetailing]

Encap products don't have crazy dry time...I would strongly encourage you to buy at least one air mover and that does carpets pretty quick... unless you absolutely flood with heavy extraction rinse

[@matthewgibb2640]

Hey Nick great video. What Tom said about the janitorial supply chemist not able to make the formulas he wanted is so true. Unfortunately in most industries but especially ours there's too many marketing companies all about dollars and with poor, average or only par level products. Compounds and polishes with solvents that attack the plastics of the bottles it's in so the bottles sink in on one side, they tear at paint to correct so make finishing harder to achieve rather than polishing to correct, paste formulas because they can't make the formula hold together if it's a liquid or don't want to spend the money to do so unlike my teachers products which are a true liquid and unique. A low percentage of active ingredients are common as is watered down products but quality raw materials are getting harder to source and pricier. I saw a product in the video called encapsu clean, do you use that? Encapsulation cleaners are awesome, extraction is not always the needed method for cleaning car interior fabrics and ignore encapsulation tech and your missing out

[@HawkProDetailing]

Thanks Matthew! Yep I love encap cleaners but nasty carpets usually need extraction. I've tried to go just encap but it doesn't always meet the moment on nasty interiors

[@matthewgibb2640]

@@HawkProDetailing yes you are correct but on nicer cars, encap cuts the need for extraction by 25 to 50%. Sometimes extraction is the only answer. I have heard that using hot water sets some stains in but maybe thats with laundry not seats and floors.

[@joelpasserell4525]

Nick, Would you choose Bio-break & Flex Ice combo over Releasit's Encap-clean & Encap-spot? I'm looking to make a purchase but want to get your recommendation for auto carpeting, upholstery & headliner cleaner. Seems to me that Releasit's Encap Clean would be easier since it doesn't need a rinse /neutralizer. Just vacuum it. What do you think?

[@HawkProDetailing]

Do you have an extractor?

[@joelpasserell4525]

@@HawkProDetailing I have the Bissel spot pro (starting small out of my garage for now). Mostly concerned with best way & chemicals to clean prints or pop spray on headliners without soaking and risking glue release or creating a bigger water stain.

[@shudoo8062]

Really wish he answered this. Exact same question with same machine

[@elic5355]

Encapu 2 is solid also

[@NickVetter]

My go to product is green dragon from the encap store. I also like hydrox and ds2, but the green dragon can also be used with extraction. If I have bad stains I'll use 20 volume peroxide or ammonia if I have to.

[@HawkProDetailing]

I never tried green dragon! It's legit eh?

[@NickVetter]

@@HawkProDetailing I have gotten great results with it and it smells amazing. I know lots of carpet cleaners wh are using it. They also have some higher ph versions. It doesn't have fluorocarbons like the releasit but im not sure if that matters.

[@danielshallberg9266]

@@NickVetter I’m assuming you have the lemon scent version? Looks like their sold out of the lemon only have the no scent available.

[@NickVetter]

@@danielshallberg9266 yes I have lemon. It should be back in stock pretty quickly.

[@danielshallberg9266]

@@NickVetter i see you can use dragon phire as a booster. It says 2oz per gallon of water.. do you make the solution fresh for every detail or do u make a gallon of it then transfer to smaller bottles?

Happy I found your channel!

[@HawkProDetailing]

Me too 😊

[@mattmerwin3842]

You had me sold on this stuff years ago. I've never tried it yet, only because I don't have a good extractor.

[@HawkProDetailing]

You don't need a great extractor... just try to get hot water and you can still get great results 🤙

[@cleanerdetailsllc7789]

Good micro fibers and cleaner with dry/wet vac - Remove filter= ghetto extractor.

[@notsodelusional]

Probably a dumb question: do you have suggestions for products for pre spraying a carpet at home? I have a basic home steam cleaner (some sort of Bissell), and am trying to figure out more efficient ways to clean the carpets. Great video!

[@elic5355]

You can’t steam clean residential wall to wall carpeting.Do you mean water extraction?

[@go5582]

hi ,Is this chemist using oxy clean and just renames it. sells it for $50? the way he espressioned body language ,tells me he's using a average oxy base and he's just adding a cent like maple.

[@No1WatchesUrTTV]

There is no oxy in bio break. It’s all about the raw builders that cost the most aka Sodium Phosphate. Tom uses phosphate, surfactant, citrus solv, protease enzyme in bio break. Oxy clean is sodium percarbonate with a lot of cheap fillers.

[@Verdugocm]

I switched from bio break to prochem. Better overall product , doesn’t leave any citrus /sticky residue behind like bio break.

[@HawkProDetailing]

I tried prochem and wasn't impressed at all. Do you extract after with hot water and acid rinse like flex ice?

None of your links are working.
