Send us Fan Mail We have instructions for a reason...but in this episode, Yvan and Nick break down their favorite "off label" uses for the DIY…
A recent short I did, I showed how you could use it in the rare instance, full strength, which is not in the instructions.
And you use it in a painter's tray or at the bottom of a LaCroix Cruiser, of which there are like three in existence.
And if your tire shine, if your wheel and body brush looks like a tire shine brush because of all the crappy dealership tire shine, no offense to dealerships.
it stains the wheel and body brush you can use all clean at full strength work it against the painter's tray and then rinse it and it becomes green again so the the black at the end it stains it goes away and that kind of inspired me i was like a lot of people liked that video what else can we use off label because you're very big on instructions read the instructions follow the standard operating procedure and you will get great results right then that's that's our foundation of our business and yet it's fun to like go off label sometimes
While we're talking about Alclean, another one that isn't on the label that I use a lot, and this, if you're listening from, you know, southern part of the world where you don't get salt on the roads, this one doesn't apply, but we have a lot more coming for you, so don't worry about that.
But if you have that salt ring on your carpet, that crust that just accumulates over the winter, spray Alclean diluted 15 to 1 on it and literally put the nozzle like right up against that salt.
It's almost like, well, you already promised it would be an all purpose cleaner, right? Bug guts, right? Wheels and tires, engine bays, like pre-treating an incredibly dirty vehicle, floor mats, like the list goes on and on.
