Recently I won the sample kit of EcoTouch Eco Touch Interior Car Care Kit, Eco Touch Sample Kit. I had a detail this weekend of a disgusting 2002 Dodge Ram interior to try it out on. Unfortunately I wasn't able to try out all of the interior sample kit or the waterless wash that I won. Those will come at a later date.
Note: Weather - Sunny, 48 degrees. Sorry I don't have a temp/humidity gauge like CEE DOG (and this write up won't be as good as his either, sorry to disappoint), so no humidity reading.
I tried the following:
Eco Touch All Purpose Cleaner
Eco Touch Carpet + Upholstery
Eco Touch Window Clear
First up here are a couple pics of the interior I was dealing with. The truck was heavily smoked in and I don't think it had been cleaned since it was purchased.
This one is blurry sorry
All Purpose Cleaner:
Overall opinion is that it's a great general purpose cleaner. It tackled the door panel of this truck fairly well. It didn't get everything though and I had to end up using a stronger APC to cut the grime. But I believe that this is due to the heavily soiled area. Over all I think it would be great on your every day grocery getter that didn't see the history that this truck had.
Few pics:
Before
Pic didn't come out all that good but that is the APC
After: As you can see there is actually a divider in the pocket. In the first pic it's hard to see because of all the dirt and grime build up.
Next was the Carpet & Upholstery Cleaner:
I was very impressed with this cleaner. It made very quick work of the stains in the carpet. You spray it on and let it sit for a minute or two, then blot it with a MF. According to the directions. I sprayed it on, let it sit, then scrubbed it with a MF, which worked awesome.
After vacuuming the rug twice, hitting it with my PC and a brush attachment, then vacuuming again I was able to see some of the stains in the carpet.

Sorry after shot came out dark
Finally the Window Cleaner:
I was pretty impressed with the window cleaner as well. It made very quick work of the nasty windows in this truck. It also left limited streaking. A little bit but I think it had to do with how dirty these windows were.
Before: Mind you this is all on the inside! I hadn't washed the outside yet but the outside wasn't bad.
Product: MF is after using the product on that one window panel behind the drivers seat.
After: Once again I apologize for the blurry pic, but you get the point of how clean the glass got.
Over all I was pretty impressed with the three products I tried. And would recommend them to anyone. They may not be for a very heavily soiled interior as what I was dealing with, but they certainly held their own.
This truck was beyond the norm I think of your every day detail. At least for me it was. I get some dirty cars but this truck was one of the worst that I've dealt with in a long time.
It took me 4 hours just for the interior (mind you a 2 door cab truck!). I ended up vacuuming 5 times in all, not including the extraction I did.
Couple pics of after: again sorry for my awful photography!
Note: The speaker holes were hit again after I snapped this pic. With a stiff brush and some APC.
The passenger door panel was just as bad as the drivers side.
Thanks for reading!
