[@greenmarine5]

I use to strictly use Super Clean, but it seems in the last couple years their solution isn't as strong. I tried Purple power and purple power I was happy with it did a better job for me than super clean. I do know if you let either product dry on aluminum it will etch the aluminum, the directions also state to not use on aluminum, but if your quick enough to get a good scrub and rinse it off quick before it has time to dry, I found they were fine.

[@comeoncents3288]

I just bought purple powder over super clean because I wil use it strictly for wheels and tires. I think I made a good choice.

On any kind of carpeting, using an extractor is the key. That would allow one to see the true results. Plus it enhances any surfactant’s effectiveness.

Wow Randy thank you! I appreciate that a ton!! SO glad the videos can help

[@edgrigsby8610]

I've noticed with purple power, if it's diluted anything more than 10:1, it can pull the white lettering off from turn signal stalks and such. So, use P.P. with caution

[@dylanastorga4803]

More????

[@LemonySnicket-EUC]

​@@dylanastorga4803 Use no more than 1 part product to 10 parts water....... 2 parts product to 10 parts water is 'more'. That will take the white paint off of things in the car. Hope that helps

ive run into discoloration with purple power its still good but i used it more for chassis wash on my tractor trailer

[@mikenovember5884]

Yeah purple degreasers tend to tickle the lung when Aerosolization occurs. I have worked with some Purple degreasers that will make you hack up a lung just sitting open in a room. I have a friend who is a chemist that formulated his own super ultra concentrated purple degreaser this stuff is amazing. Although he only Produces it in 275 gallon tote’s with the steel reinforcements. If diluted enough it could be used to clean anything . it is also a quaternary disinfectant but could not be labeled so what small Wants to pay tens of thousands of dollars just saw the FDA can label it as a disinfectant he used to produce it for one of the larger car manufacturers and GE I believe.

[@mikebridgeline3275]

Thank you for all your wonderful videos. Luke with your permission. If I' may ask. What cleaner can I' use to clean my wheels on a Night fall Telluride. Black painted factory wheels. Best regards.

[@COMPOUNDCOLLECTIVE]

Super clean use to be great. I first tried it back in the 90s. It was amazing stuff. Back then if you left a wet rag of Super Clean in a stainless pot too long it would etch into the surface. Also if you got spray on glass and did not clean it off, it would etch into glass as well. Due to the high cost of it now I switched over to Purple Power.

[@24revealer]

I'd like to see you try some Sunlight in the Yellow bottle and let us know how it compares to these. I use it as hand cleaner and it is the best IMO.

[@57Carlibra]

Diluting in the same ratio isn't necessarily a fair test because it would depend on what the concentration level of the product that the company recommends, right?

[@---vm4yj]

I have them both in my arsenal but gotta admit i use Super Clean way more often than purple power

[@javiersamano1757]

[@NBgreet]

Thanks for the great video. Is it ok to use Super cleaner on the car carpets without rinsing thoroughly as usual?

[@wilsonautodetailing]

Well I think it depends on what you mean when you say rinsing thoroughly... there are a lot of misnomers and misunderstanding when it comes to "rinsing" carpets in the detailing world. Let me know what you mean.. but this may help: after using super clean on carpets, mopping up with a microfiber towel is more than enough

[@bishoprain9287]

Hey Wilson, sorry to bug you but what ratio do you. Recommend super clean as a pre wash? Out of a pump spray for the bottom half of the vehicle, I just started and don't want to purchase $40 gallon of something else yet, lol...

I have had and still do have cleaning contracts with a few chemical plants with labs. One thing I learned is that the fragrance may have a higher toxicity level or far worse negative effects than anything else in a product. That fragrance is not always a good thing.

[@striderwolf687]

Great video! It’s been around 6 months, I am curious if Super Clean is no your all purpose cleaner at a 5:1 ratio on all the interior parts when you detail?

[@wilsonautodetailing]

It definitely still is! But I also use meguairs all purpose cleaner diluted 10:1 for all lighter cleanings

[@JoseRodriguez-ob2ge]

@@wilsonautodetailing i have a 98 civic and i tried using super clean to clean the dashboard but it did cause some discoloration and i had it diluted a lot i would say 10 to 1 and still caused that !!!! Used detailing brushes and microfiber towels and after i wiped down i could see that light damage, catched that right away and stoped. Any thoughts on what I did wrong??? Or should I use a pH balanced product from a brand name such as chemical guys or something

[@Joopsmann]

Super Clean is caustic. It WILL attack aluminum, paint, etc. Be safe with this as it will also attack your skin. I use it to clean my stove. If you use it as a degreaser, you will notice the odor of soap. This is because it is saponifying the grease and oil and turning it into soap.

[@midnightmystery544]

Yeah. That's what APC does. Gotta ne careful with the residue.

[@beambreaker]

Oh really I noticed this!! Wow. Yeah I used it to clean my shower and the stainless turned brown

[@eds1990sporty]

[@frank2217]

When I first used Super Clean, I used it full strength to clean my tires. My wheels on my Lexus are clear coated. Super Clean etched the clear coat, but I should have been more careful. I was just learning to detail my car. I'm a lot more careful now with the products I use on my car.

[@infiniti_chik1225]

Hi there. You have great videos and amazing enthusiasm! However, there is one thing I would have done differently in comparing these 2 obviously fantastic products. I would have put a piece of tape down the middle, and I would have used 2 different brushes (the exact same brush) to avoid a possibility of cross-contamination of the products. When you scrub the Power Clean side, there is still Power Clean product on that brush. You then scrub the Super Clean side, but it still has some of the Power Clean 'residuals' on it and vice versa. But, that's just my thought. Either way, you are phenomenal at what you do, and may GOD continue to bless you!

[@wilsonautodetailing]

Infiniti Chik ya I totally understand what you mean, definitely great advice, I think I was just going with a general comparison rather than being quite that exact because there are so many variables even with the floorboard itself, but thank you for the encouragement and appreciation!!!! I love it!

[@geologic740]

I thought the same thing. But if you consider it, it's fair enough because both sides ended up close to equal dilution, yet one side turned out better than the other.

[@Dundertaker1]

Can you run these through the TORNADOR??? To clean fabrics? Do you find the product make the carpet "sticky" and attract more dirt (like some carpet shampoos do?)?

[@wilsonautodetailing]

Dan Garner yes you can absolutely put them through the tornador, just make sure and dilute them. Regarding the second question, detailers for years have claimed that carpet shampoo makes things sticky and attract more dirt but I think this is a misnomer. A carpet doesn't attract more dirt at all because it's been shampooed. It doesn't become a magnet for dirt, the logic is that since it is a little sticky, the dirt that falls just stays on the carpet better, and therefore the carpet becomes dirtier. When detailers make those sort of claims I just think the conversation is irrelevant only because, if shampooing carpets do make the carpet sticky, is anyone going to stop shampooing carpets? Definitely not, and I just haven not ever found it to be the case that anything makes a carpet "sticky." I hope that helps

I know some of you guys see this video and the points he’s making about these 2 products but keep in mind we’re all different meaning purple power may be your go to. But, with that being said get it and try it out for yourself before you go off of someone else opinion. JS. I have both but to be honest I mix a little bit of Dawn soap with mines to give that extra push. But, both of them are good products.
