What happens when I use an acid wheel cleaner on the interior?

APC and get yourself a good enzyme cleaner to try to kill the smell.
 
I think you both got what you deserved for making your poor dog wait so long to go dooky






















:D
 
^^I don't appreciate your comment.

My dog knows better than to crap all over the back. My wife should know better than to throw up all over the front seat. I'm going to hire a detailer to detail my ride even though I'm a detailer. I am not touching that sh**

I know we have to be positive and respectful toward fellow ag members. Im confused though. You a detailer but used acid wheel cleaner to clean after the dogs problem. I think you're probably like me, just polished my whole car out for the first time lol. Whoever details your car, best of luck to the detailer(the real one) and of course best of luck to you.

ASAP, after the acid-wheel-cleaning session, it's always advisable to follow-up
with an alkyline-cleaning/neutralizing(?) session.


So...For your scenario...
I'll suggest an highly alkyline product from a subsidiary of Ashland Oil Co:

-CarBrite's™ SELECT EXTERIOR/INTERIOR CLEANER/DEGREASER

This product's ph ranges from 13.0-14.0...(Lye and Sodium Hydroxide)


This product should: "Finish-Up" your interior!!

Whilst we might muse at the prospect, you must remember that there is a lot of confusion about chemicals and terminology. Just last week I read several threads on the big UK forum (detailing world) where the general concensus was that citrus solvent had an acidic pH so citrus based products will be acidic. Anyone with a sliver of chemical knowledge will know that this is not only wrong but so wrong that they might as well have been talking about how frequently blokes ovulate. So a newbie could easily make mistakes in the belief that a wheel cleaner, as one of the strongest cleaners, could be used on the interior.

FYI, fabric cleaning is almost an industry on its own. I do not know what is available in the US but most of the UK detailing products for interior cleaning are no closer to ideal than washing up liquid is for exterior washing. It will do the job but is far from the best. In fact, it is very common for specialised fabric cleaning to be multi component. The basic cleaning is done by alkaline products but alkalinity will cause serious long term harm to many fabric types so it is crucial that you will neutralise it before returning the fabric to the customer. As a result, it is quite normal to use an acidic rinse product as one of your final steps. So an acid on the interior is not entirely nuts!

i cant tell you what an acid wheel cleaner will do to an interior of a vehicle, but i can tell you what it will do to an exterior. i mistakenly used it instead of degreaser on a black tahoe, and it turned the the clear coat milky colored and would not buff out. be careful with it.
