Anyone using a blacklight (UV light)? I think it would be great for interior details to make sure it was 100% clean.
 
I saw this mentioned in another thread a few days ago. IMO it would be kinda useless. Reason i say this is you would need to work in the dark to be able to utilize the black light. On top of that if youre extracting the seats and carpets already it should matter as your going to suck up the odor causing enzymes as it is. At least thats how i look at it. I could be wrong though since ive never used a black light for this.
 
A black light would show areas that are missed. You wouldn't "work" in the dark, only inspect.
 
Monk use one once in a hotel room in one of his episodes, it was hilarious!
 
Imagine using it before, do you really want to know how bad it is? LOL.

Does a blacklight really show it's perfectly cleaned anyways? I'm not sure what kind of chemicals/fluids react to it.

Body Fluids
Many body fluids contain fluorescent molecules. Forensic scientists use ultraviolet lights at crime scenes to find blood, urine, or s***n (all fluorescent). EECCHHHHH!!!

In this case what you don't know or see might be the best course, so I'll skip the black light inspection.
 
A black light is great for illuminating little specs of debris that can go unnoticed.

I think you need a chemical to make blood show up, luminol, I think.

I want my customers car to be perfectly clean, and adding a black light inspection would set myself apart from other people.
 
Pet stores sell small handheld Blacklight's for urine detection. Also, auto stores sell them near their ac leak detection devices/products.

Or, it could have you doing work that goes unnoticed.

I'm with Allen, I'm curious to see what you come up with, especially light vs dark interiors with the before/after pics.
