Keep all your surfaces cleaned!

Wolfgang All-Surface Cleaner is a welcome addition to the Wolfgang line. Designed to safely clean virtually all surfaces, Wolfgang All-Surface Cleaner uses advanced cleaners to gently remove oil, grease, dirt, insects, brake dust, tar, and more from leather, paint, fabric, carpets, plastic, and vinyl. With Wolfgang All-Surface Cleaner, you’ll be hard-pressed to find a surface that CAN’T be cleaned with this revolutionary formula!


From me: With so many uses, and on so many surfaces to use it on, I must admit I was really curious about this product. I pushed myself to test it on different surfaces. Within short time, I was convinced this was a good product, and one that CAN be used on many surface types

On interior panels - 1996 Jeep Cherokee XJ (244k Miles)

Before shots, different angles. Underground parking garage









First up, I diluted at 4:1 for the vinyl panel on the Jeep.


That is looking better, and here is a close up of how grimey it was.


Looking much better. Still at 4:1. Not much pressure while rubbing.


You can start to see the improvement










Now trying it straight from the bottle. Full strength


I was surprised. This looks even better! Made the "clean" side look dirty now. Whuuuuut


Yeah. It makes the other side look darker/dirty






Gross. I'm sorry that I've been driving this dirty Jeep. :(


Going full strength on the whole panel


 
2008 Toyota Yaris - Interior

Some BEFORE of the interior








Spraying it down (oops. Is this 4:1? Forgot!




After using detail brush to agitate the cleaner


This is what I removed from the FABRIC part of the panel!!


Looking much better






TIRES - General Grabber AT2

Was testing to see what happens if you spray it, and don't rinse off. DO NOT do this at home, kids! It has stained the tire. Might be temporary. I haven't tried to remove it for real. I'm not too concerned about this one anyway.


When used right, it makes a pretty effective tire cleaner. This was full strength. Sprayed on, let it sit, then rinsed off. Note the browning. Weeks later, the tire still looking clean




As a wheel cleaner

Hard to tell, but I feel it made a small improvement. But to be fair, I've tried some other dedicated wheel cleaners and scubbing, and iron removers, and the crud stays on there. I'll eventually get these cleaned and polished.





Observations

Here are some things I learned:

- I drive dirty cars. :( Don't judge me! I spend most of my detailing time looking out for the wife's car. Her interior is far better. Okay, it's a bit neglected. (Note: Blackfire Leather Complete Review coming soon!)
- Scent. It doesn't smell bad. Or strong. Can't recall what it smells like, but it's not bad. That's a good thing
- Sticky. No. It is not sticky. I half expected my Jeep's panel to be sticky after wiping off the residue/dirt. I was glad I didn't have to go after that with some mild soap and water. Nope. Just Wolfgang, and MF towel. DONE. Sweet.
- Multi surface. INDEED it is. I didn't bother with glass, since I have various cleaners for that. I'm sure it would have done well with that too, though. It seemed to work on vinyl, fabric, plastic (Yaris hard plastics), tire rubber
- Do NOT let it dry. I'm not sure how it would have behaved if it dried on the various surfaces I used it on, but don't let it dry on the tires. I still haven't gone back to see if I can remove that stain from the tires. I will....some day.

Conclusion: If you can't tell, I liked this product. Wolfgang All-Surface Cleaner does seem to do well on all surfaces I used it on. No stinky and no sticky is a plus. Wolfgang has a nice product with this.

Thankgs Meghan / Autogeek for the chance to experience this nice product. Thank you all for reading.
 
Nice write up. It worked really well cleaning up those areas.
 
Great review, but now I want to see pictures of the 96 Jeep. Love the Cherokees. Especially the last few years.
