I've used

Zone perfect....good
ultrapac......good
trafficslam....good
flex......good
powermax.....good
judson o2......good
biobreak......not impressed but didn't give it a chance didn't try it on residential
grime reaper........ok
axiom.....wasn't impressed....haven't used much though
Powerstrike......good
Powerbreak.....good

Upholstery
I've tried the prochem stuff. Their woolsafe stuff....not too impressed with it
avenge HD.....good
I prefer to use judson o2 the most for upholstery


Rinse
dry slurry.....ok seems like a lot of filler
fabset.......fine for acid rinse
all fiber rinse (prochem).....fine for acid rinse
Endzone......good for acid rinse
point blue.....good
heat wave.....good so far....haven't made up my mind on it I think I like it better than point blue
shatter......so so....awfull smelling
O2 rinse.....good for neutral
White lightning......good for high PH of course

Scampoo

Releasit....good
Hot Knife....good

Tile.

TOG deep clean......good but strong smelling
Viper Renew........very good acid
TOG easy etch......good but I may go back to renew...seems to etch easier
Viper venom......good
Judson O2 w hot sauce....good
powermax.......good


Going to try....prochem all fiber deep clean, master blend soap free. There may be others that I've tried but can't remember. Any chem people want me to try their stuff, I'm willing to try it out. :wink: For the most part I've found most stuff works about the same and it comes down to RTU price and ease of cleaning. I prefer to be able to spray it on and rinse it out and that be it unless it's trashed. Of course I've tried a few spot cleaners too.....

 

[bob vawter]

SuperClean wit a 1300 kicker!

Hey Jim

How about you compile a list off all the available juices and Powders and we can cut and paste it then add our comments.



Tia is away at her sisters anyways right?

 

[Jim Martin]

I don't know them all but I bet I could put together a pretty good list............

I will see what i can come up with....

 

[Mikey P]

I wonder if we could do it in Poll form.

 

[White Collar]

Rinses
Point Blue- Didnt like it
Dry Slurry- Little better
02 - Good
Endzone- Good

PS
Powermax- Very good
Bio break- Different results, definatly needs a good boost
Ultrapac- Only tried it once and didnt like it
Judsons- Pretty good

 

[AshleyMckendree]

It's hard to put things in a category of "Good" or "OK"

So I will put things on a scale of 1-10

Pre-Sprays
Grease Eraser - 9.0 = When mixed per directions.

Grease Eraser - 10.0 = When mixed 20% stronger - but insanely expensive

(Dynachem) - PowerMax - 9.5 (it gets .5 over GE just for smell)

(FiberMaxx) - PowerMaxx - 7.0 (It is a 10 on one job, then a 4 on a few others... like Im not using anything at all... I cant figure it out)

Judson O2 - 8.0 = w HotSauce @ 3oz/gallon (It gets an 11 on one job I do, that nothing else has even touched)

Matrix Grand Slam - 4.0 (Smells awful)

Formula 77 - 8.0

Detergents/Rinses

Judson o2 Rinse - 10.0

Butler Detergent - 7.0 (leaves tons of residue)

Matrix Finish first - 9.0 before they took out the STPP - 1.0 Now

High heat - 8.0

Heat Wave - 8.0

 

[Mikey P]

I am about out of my powdered Pre Spray.


I went through 3 buckets of MAXX and am now almost out of a (real) old bucket of Pre Klean.


I've tried MAX be fore but had real issues with getting it to run consistently though my HF.
I feel like I owe it to the groop here to see what all the hooplah is about.


maybe Larry will barter for a banner and if the X dont draw I'll clean grout with it.

 

[Jim Nazarian]

Bi-O- Kleen Fiber Glow= BAD

Tim,Ash, and Sween's list remind me why I'm happy to stock the O2 system, just need more to try it on Grout and Uph. for more feedback.

[attachment=0:3igafbec]QDOBA TILE.JPG[/attachment:3igafbec]

That is some NASTY urine soaked tile, Cleaned with Judson o2 3oz/gallon (No Hot sauce)

My camera really couldn't capture the pure NASTINESS of this tile.

 

[Greenie]

No Hot? that is the playground of the HotSauce....dirty grout.

 

[Mikey P]

02 works just like Oxyblaster on TnG

 

[TimP]

My list is of stuff I have tried.....I try to give everything a go to decide if I like it or not. I'm very open minded and have found that all the stuff works to some degree. However after trying all of those. I keep Powermax, and Judson O2 as my pre-sprays of choice. For price and quality of cleaning. But I really do feel that if the prespray is decent or average, I can clean just as well as a good prespray it just takes more work.

 

[wired]

Well it seems like most of you like Judson 02 and the rinse.Grease Eraser seems to be at the top of the list to. Tried Judson when it first came out worked great on white carpet really brightened it up. I did not have good luck on nasty carpets though. Had to break out the ultra pac.and sometimes alittle powerburst. Would like to try Judson again . Talked to jeff and he said they made some changes. Will call him and order some. Who makes Grease Eraser and what does it smell like. Can I get a sample?

 

[TimP]

Judson O2 by itself, or at least it's lowest dilution, isn't designed for filthy carpet. However you can increase the dilution and add their modifier to it. And it can clean about anything with some scrubbing and of course enough PS on the fibers to disolve the filth.

 

[sweendogg]

Grease Eraser is Chemeister.. and I kinda of echo what Tim says.. I like to try things and keep and open mind about different products. Seems like everything has a time and place for the products. In the coming year I plan and trying some of the Cobb Powermax and will need to order more O2 system as I'm about out. But Its also nice to know that there are other products that work desent to very well and I can get them from our main distributer in a days notice.

Grease Eraser is a Chemeister product. You will have to take it up with your distributer for the free sample.

 

[ascrubabove]

Prespray
Grand Slam good
Ultra TLC good
(both are better with a citrus boost like Hy-Speed Orange Burst)

Rinse
Last Step good (cut my wicking issues in half, and makes the colors pop out like new)
