    David,



    Very nice work on a car that looks like it was way overdue for a good cleaning. I`m sure the owner was/will be very pleased.



    In regards to the questions/comments about HD in bulk, my job in October is to revamp the HD Pro line. Everything in HD Pro now is a v1 chemical. Everything in HD Consumer is v2 or v2.5.



    Now, a comment was made regarding eco-friendly packaging. This will continue into the HD Pro line by making HD TOTAL available in 64oz concentrate for 10:1 to 20:1 mixture.



    While the HD Pro line is currently lagging, it will be flipped soon and the Pro line will soon lead the way so that the Pro line is where all new developments are started. For example, a new "safe acid" cleaner has been developed that is 100% skin and respiratory safe, yet it clean on contact like nothing you`ve ever seem.



    In a moment I will post a quick iPhone video we took today showing HD UNO with what looks to be the best wool blend pad that we will add to the HD Pro line. Watch the open time with the polish/pad combo, as well as how fast it cut and how well it finishes down.



    David, thanks again for the great feedback and posting up another fine interior detail.

    Version 1, 2, 3...



    Most products go through a development life cycle that includes initial launch, improvements, maturity and the end of life.

    Have not set a schedule yet. The #1 focus is the HD Pro polishing system.

    Hmm what is the shine level on the protect? I`m currently using 303 Aerospace for my dash, I like a matte finish. Might have to add HD into my lineup

    I have yet to test out the HD UNO, but the TOTAL & PROTECT items are top notch.

    Thanks Slickery. I don`t see why these products couldn`t be used by anyone from High End Pro to High Volume Pro to complete Novice. When it comes to cleaning products, I(coming from a bulk/volume background) looked for the best, most versatile product. Cost was far from the deciding factor.



    On this interior I used a full bottle of the already premixed solution and about 1/8 of the bottle of the concentrate. Once I play with some dilutions a little, I`m sure usage could be adjusted for light & heavy soiling. There`s no doubt I would have used 2 full bottles of my go to cleaner.

    Thanks Scott. They sure do. This car`s rubberized pieces were definately deteriorating. (super sticky too) I was warned ahead of time about these conditions and was told that nothing but a wet towel should be used due its delicateness. At 1st I covered these areas but the whole time I couldn`t resist testing my curiousity. I spot cleaned a small area real lightly with the TOTAL cleaner and nothing happened so I then tried using more cleaner applied to a soft towel and still came out great. At the end, I did the same thing with PROTECT and had equal results. I have no doubt that my go-to cleaner would have destroyed this coating.
