One of the perks of working at Autogeek (besides having access to Max's AMG at any time), is the ability to take full advantage of the "Show Car Garage" on your day off, or for the occasional Thursday Night Extreme Makeover.

Mike spends more time in the Show Car Garage than he does his own house, and last Saturday Ray detailed a 2014 Subaru Forester using Rupes and Pinnacle Black Label.

Needless to say, we go through quite a few microfiber towels. With the recent introduction of Wolfgang Microfiber Cleaner and Rejuvenator, and what can only be described as a mound of dirty microfiber towels in the Show Car Garage, I decided this would be perfect opportunity to demonstrate the latest and greatest microfiber detergent from Wolfgang.

Wolfgang Microfiber Cleaner and Rejuvenator is the first and only microfiber detergent formulated with the HE washing machine in mind. Wolfgang Microfiber Cleaner and Rejuvenator is a specially formulated detergent that deep cleans microfiber towels and tools, effectively removing oily and greasy residues. Wolfgang Microfiber Cleaner and Rejuvenator preserves the soft texture and unique absorption qualities of microfiber towels and tools. Highly concentrated formula only requires an ounce or two depending on the size of the load!

Load one:

Didn't anyone tell Ray that Guzzlers aren't for cleaning wheel wells?

How it works
Wolfgang Microfiber Cleaner and Rejuvenator is formulated using a complex blend of surfactants, emulsifiers, and water softeners. The clean-rinsing formula was formulated to be safe for use in all washing machines, including high efficiency (HE) washing machine models. Wolfgang Microfiber Cleaner and Rejuvenator is highly concentrated, so you only need an ounce or two depending on the size of the load. The 16 ounce bottle features a cleverly designed built-in measuring cup to ensure that you use the proper amount based on the size of the load.

After determining the size of the load, set the temperature to "Hot Cold"

Set to "Heavy Cycle" and turn on machine

If you own an HE washing machine or if you're looking for a new microfiber detergent, be sure to check out Wolfgang Microfiber Cleaner and Rejuvenator.

A special thanks to Mike Phillips for his excellent photography skills. :props:

Man wish I would of got this instead of the DP cleaner that I got in mail today... I have a HE, are there any tips for using any of the older washes with a HE machine?

Will definitely be adding this to next order, great results.
 
I thought it was against federal and state laws to wash microfiber in hot water? Have the laws been repealed?

DP is safe for use in HE washing machines, but in some cases you will need to set the machine for an extra rinse. Wolfgang Microfiber Cleaner and Rejuvenator eliminates the need for an extra rinse cycle.

HMMMMM not sure about that one? Mike and I both wash towels on hot/cold, and they come out fine every time.

I love DP Microfiber Cleaner! I just used it an hour ago in a HE machine. Worked great.

The only tip I can think of is use the "extra rinse" function.

Do you have any problems with color transfer between towels when you use hot water?

I made the mistake one time of washing a new black MF towel with other MF towels and the Gold Plush towels are not so gold anymore. They always look like they are dirty and that was using warm water.
 
Why doesn't AG sell WG? If WG is owned by AG, it seems like if WG sold it, AG would also sell it.

We generally separate colors, but for this demonstration and to make the photo more colorful, we washed a handful of different towels together.

It is especially important to separate your towels when you wash them for the first time.

I've never had problems with color transfer after a towel has been washed.

Autogeek does sell Wolfgang, but the Wolfgang site happened to get this product a couple hours before Autogeek. :dblthumb2:

Sorry, I meant why doesn't AG sell the WG Microfiber cleaner? I did a quick search, but didn't see it on the AG site. Maybe I didn't look hard enough. If you have a link for the AG site, can you post it please? Thanks.

I use the DP in an HE washer and don't use the extra rinse. Even with using extra DP cleaner it rinses fine.

I liked the DP so much I bought a gallon. Good stuff, as is the Wolfgang I'm sure.

Found it, ordered it. Tough to beat with the DEC12 coupon. Looking forward to using the product, hopefully lives up to expectations :props:

Let us know what you think! Im the MAN
 
This stuff is the bomb. Used it on a load today in an HE washer. 1 oz. is all I used, no pre-soak. This stuff is like Fuzion for MF's. Cleaned everything out of towels, and puffs them up very nicely. Very good product.
 
How does this compare to the Blackfire microfiber cleaner? Are they similar? Any noteworthy differences between the two?
 
Hi guys... been looking into this a lot lately, and found some awesome information.

First, though, can someone please offer me some information, or maybe point me in the right direction to do some research, on what makes "microfiber wash" detergents better than regular detergents? I'd like to know if I'm missing the boat here, since I go through hundreds of mf's a year.

Alright, I found an awesome rrsource to make your own detergent that really deep cleans. Many of you already may know this, but it's new to me and definitely worth sharing... but you can easily make your own detergent with 3 simple store-bought ingredients, that will yield soft, cleansed, refreshed microfibers, for nearly 70% LESS than a Tide or other name brand.

Here is the link, one of them anyway, I read through so many sites; but just to quickly elaborate, SODA ASH or sodium carbonate is at the center of the home-made detergent 'laundry list' ha, get it? Also added in is Borax, and you can even add some non-colored bar soap if you'd like (shaved), although for our purposes as detailers I'd leave that out, and add in regular baking soda, or sodium bicarbonate, and then pour some white distilled vinegar into the rinse cycle compartment on your washing machine for soap residue removal, and softening abilities!

Link: Well, I'm on my Android and it won't let me paste in my mobile Firefox browser... so, I'll be right back: READ THE NEXT POST BELOW :)

Why would it matter if the colors ran from one color towel to another? It would affect performance would it? Just get some of us confused as to which color we use for which job, right? Feed back please
