Clean any mess off any surface!
IGL Ecoclean Multi is a powerful, all-purpose cleaner that provides you with the perfect answer to many different difficult messes that collect on your various vehicle surfaces. IGL Ecoclean Multi uses a soy base and effective citrus cleaner agents that are safe for nearly every surface on your car. IGL Ecoclean Multi is created using all-natural ingredients to provide powerful cleaning in the greenest way possible. IGL Ecoclean Multi will effectively break up any oil, grease, dust, and dirt, making it fast and easy to wipe clean.
Each and every car comes with anywhere from five to five hundred different types of surfaces. Each of these surfaces has different characteristics that makes it unique to the way it needs to be cared for. It is for this reason that for every surface you can find on the surface of a vehicle, there is a dedicated cleaner created specifically to address that type of surface. If you are trying to clean every surface on your car and bought 50 different cleaners to do so, you would no longer be able to store your car in your garage. That is why you absolutely need product like IGL Ecoclean Multi!
IGL Ecoclean Multi condenses all the hundreds of dedicated cleaners into one simple and easy product. Need to get light soil off your leather, use IGL Ecoclean Multi. Tough grime build-up on your engine bay, use IGL Ecoclean Multi. Did you spot some tar collecting on your rocker panels? You guessed it, IGL Ecoclean Multi! There is no reason to store hundreds of cleaners in your garage or shed when you can simply use IGL Ecoclean Multi to do the same cleaning at a much lower cost!
Use IGL Ecoclean Multi to clean virtually any surface that needs a good cleaning!
A large concern that many car detailing enthusiasts carry with them when reading about all-purpose cleaners like IGL Ecoclean Multi is the potential to harm the various surfaces on which it is used. Typically, those concerns would be completely warranted as a large portion of APCs on the market today use extremely aggressive and dangerous ingredients that can corrode the more delicate surfaces of your car. IGL Ecoclean Multi doesn’t use those harmful and often acidic ingredients. IGL Ecoclean Multi is formulated using all-natural, citrus cleaners to provide its powerful cleaning capabilities. The soy base of IGL Ecoclean Multi means that it won’t leave behind harmful residue on your interior surfaces.
The natural base of IGL Ecoclean Multi doesn’t hinder the cleaning capacity of IGL Ecoclean Multi either! IGL Ecoclean Multi will be able to tackle everything from dust on your dashboard to the brake dust on your wheels!
DIRECTIONS
1. If using on delicate surfaces, dilute IGL Ecoclean Multi 1:5 with water. For all other applications, dilute IGL Ecoclean Multi 1:1 with water. Always use on an inconspicuous area first to check colorfastness.
2. Shake IGL Ecoclean Multi well prior to use. Spray IGL Ecoclean Multi directly onto the surface and wipe it off with a dry microfiber towel.
Test car - 1969 Buick GS Convertible
For the 2021 season of My Classic Car, we shot all our TV segments in-house. Because this TV show caters to classic cars, muscle cars and streetrods, we try to bring in and use cars that fit this theme. My friend Jack owns a beautiful classic car but also a muscle car and because it's a convertible - this makes it easy to film interior detailing.
When Jack first arrived we took a good look at his car's beautiful pearl white vinyl interior and we all thought it looked pretty good. Closer inspection found dirt and grime build-up in places commonly "touched" by skin. When filming this type of TV segment or TV commercial, the power for selling the product comes from the before and after shots of not just the "thing" you're working on - but also the thing you're applying the product with - in our case a clean, white microfiber towel.
As we worked through shooting the video we also stopped long enough to capture still shots that you'll see below. This was my first time using IGL Multi but I have to say, I was impressed with how well it worked. Jack the owner was also impressed with how well it worked and I dare say a tick surprised to see how much dirt and grime came off the interior. The the casual observer, the interior probably looked good and also clean. But the wipe-off towel tells a different story.
First we're going to tackle the seats... they looked clean?
They looked clean but the white microfiber towel tells a different story.
Next up - the passenger side door panel.
This is ground-in dirt or grime. Probably from years of having someone rub the back of their hand against this area as they reach for the door handle.
Eeww...
The convertible top boot looks clean?
Nope. In fact I think we pulled the most dirt and grime from the vinyl boot.
Dirty towel on clean towel really shows the before and after difference.
It looked good when it arrived but it's leaving a lighter, brighter and whiter interior.
Review
Having never used this product and knowing it's made using both soy bean oil as well as citrus fruit oils, I kind of figured it would work really well and I was not dissapointed. More important - it's safe for any surface. I can't count how many times I've seen someone in the online world share how they used a conventional all-purpose-cleaner on the interior of their car and it's damaged or discolored the surface it was used on. In some instances people have shared how the APC they used removed the white lettering on the control arms and buttons in their car. How annoying would that be.
Nope... we sprayed it on, allowed it to dwell for a few seconds and the agitated and wiped-off with a clean microfiber towel and nothing went wrong and ever better - everything went right - as in everything came out clean.
IGL makes great products. I have yet to find a dog in their line. If you're looking for a safe and effective all-purpose-cleaner that's different from all the me-too products on the market then give this product a try.
