Luke, I started my detailing business four years ago off of your videos. I’ve been subscribed this whole time and I just want to say thank you because if it wasn’t for you and your very detailed mindset, I wouldn’t be successful and out of the the trenches, you may not know who I am, but you changed my life and I wouldn’t be where I am if it wasn’t for your videos
I love Dark Fury. I diluted it about 15:1 and used it on our shower. There was mineral stains and soap scum that wouldn’t not come off, no matter what I tried. I sprayed the diluted dark fury on and rinsed it off, it took off 70-80% just by rinsing. I lightly scrubbed the remaining off and now it looks like new. I have several of their products and I’m impressed with all of it. Very economical too.
I just detail my own cars love your channel and am starting to use the Superior Products to save my time and effort in cleaning my cars. Thank you for helping me learn better ways of getting it done.
Did a nasty white Frontier work truck yesterday this same process was done in 1.5 inside and out with Spray 4 in a foam cannon and hp rinse and it looked like I hand waxed that truck all the tar and bugs and grease no scrubbing truck looked new and waxed again!
Superior has a great line of products ! Dark fury has increased my profitability while detailing . No more endless scrubbing of bugs and wheels . They truly make life easier for me a mobile detailer here in Texas heat .
Used Dark Fury for the first time yesterday after watching one of your earlier videos for removing bugs. My wife's SUV is white and the front end was caked. Unbelievably good stuff! Over 75% came off touchless with a 30-sec to 1 min dwell time with just a garden hose spray. HIGHLY recommended stuff! Thank you for doing these detailed reviews and thank to Superior for making these awesome detailing products at such good prices. I just ordered Formula 4 for spotless drying.
I would be very careful with Dark Fury. I used it as a pre-wash to loosen surface dirt and bugs at a 10:1 ratio. After a few minutes I noticed the grey colored trim around my windows becoming oxidized and splotchy (2022 Kia Sorento). While I love the product and how well it works... be VERY CAREFUL with where you apply it. Always spot test first! That being said, great video as always, Luke. Keep up the great work!
Thanks for that....definitely won't be using it now...that's a big deal if a customer's car gets damaged like this, very expensive very quickly to fix things like this sometimes
I have found the dilution ratio more 5:1 on Dark Fury to be effective in my area on Maui. Additionally, Superior has a great bundle package in 1/2 gallon sizes to try a lot of their products. Interesting, one by one , I’ve been replacing my go to products with this brand for the bulk of my work. Still keep other products for occasional use.
My mobile detailing business is chemical free. I only do interiors. I use steam and products from the Eco-Sense line by Melaleuca, those being Tough & Tender all purpose, Clear Power for glass and Rustic Touch for conditioning leather. Customers love it and so do my hands (I simply can't wear gloves).
Caustic sodas going bite y’all in the butt if y’all use dark fury on your car every single wash. Remember when every detailer was using super clean now you never hear about it? Dark fury and super clean both have Sodium hydroxide, sodium metasilicate …both are bad for you and the car. It will cause headlights to fail and wheel damage.
Sorry, but Dark Fury does NOT remove caked on brake dust with little effort. I love Dark Fury, but caked on brake dust absolutely needs LOTS of agitation and product and incredibly difficult to get off.
Great video! Ill have to look for these products. I have been using Maguire's Ultimate wheel cleaner, as im a big fan of their Ultimate line if products. It does seem pretty strong, and maybe bot something i need to use all the time, so maybe something like Dark Fury could be used on regular maintenance washes. Again, great video, and i hust realized i wasnt subscribed, so i remedied that
Acid based eheel cleaners have always been superior to alkaline cleaners...but you just have to be careful with application and not leave it on too long, etc. You can even cut them down a but to make more of the cleaner because most are far stronger than they need to be.
I’ve used Dark Fury for about a year and it’s a real time saver especially on large truck/SUV tires and wheels. Never used for bugs but will try it this week. Thanks
Man as much as I love your videos for the experience and know how. It's so difficult to watch the whole video with the constant talking that really starts to hurt the ears. Man.
I appreciate the videos on Superior Products. I started using them about 13 years ago as an enthusiast with detailing and paint correction, and I have always loved their stuff.
After watching your earlier video about Dark Fury, I went and bought some and love it! Thank you for your awesome videos. I have been watching them for a very long time.
Keep in mind the aluminum brighter has HF as the active ingredient. It absorbs through your skin very easily and will leach the calcium from your bones. I personally wouldn’t use it outside, only inside of a controlled environment with a proper mask, and all of my skin covered.
Not as bad as ammonium bifluoride which is in many acidic cleaners. With HF acid you should feel the burn on the skin. Aluminum bifluoride is the silent killer.
@Wilson Auto Detailing is this an ad for Superior Products? Seems like a you’ve got a partnership with them, given the amount of videos featuring their products. I’m perfectly fine with that, but you don’t specifically mention that to be the case. Do these two products remove waxes or sealants? Finally, can you use it the same way (i.e., in the sun, letting it dwell, etc.) on PPF?
I used Dark Fury diluted at 10:1 on a silver hood to remove black residue from sitting under trees. It also did great on removing tar from the rocker panels and black carbon from chrome tailpipes. All I used was my pressure washer! Thank you!
I was using Meguiars D143 for years, but prices went way up. Tried Dark Fury a couple weeks ago and I’m really impressed!!! Locally it’s half the price of Megs too. Dark Fury also works really well on rubber/all weather floor mats.
Dark Fury is a fantastic wheel cleaner. I'm going to try it as an exterior pre-soak now thanks to this video. I have also had good luck with Nanoskin Non-Acid Wheel Cleaner which is also very economical. Suds Lab XA appears to be the same formula as Dark Fury, on the shelf at Wal-Mart, but not nearly as economical.
Just used dark fury for the first time today and holy crap is it an amazing product! My wheels are normally the part of my car I loathe cleaning but DF made it insanely simple.
Always been a big fan of acid wheel cleaners like Meguiar's Wheel Brightener. I have tight spoke wheels. So, using Wheel Brightener makes it so much easier to remove brake dust from the tight spots.
I have been using Dary Fury for quite a while. I really love the way it cleans wheels and that I can use it for other things. One place it does really well is the area around the gas cap. That area under the little door is just a dirt trap. Dark Fury busts through that dirt like nothing else. I also like to use it on the truck and hood sills which collect tons of dirt as well. Makes really short work of things. I really need to try it on the front of the car now to get rid of bugs and road grime. Seems like I should have tried this already but you learn something new every day.
@@wilsonautodetailing Thanks man been detailing 20 plus years I am thankful for your channel we are going to start our own channel posting more frequently thanks for all the hard work you put into giving us solid information I saw this company on Fb before you started mentioning them and once you did I took the plunge and I am going to use all their products other then cermaics and other special items. This makes it much easier to be profit!
@@wilsonautodetailingI can try to help on this Luke!! Wire Wheel Cleaner is composed of Hydrofluoric Acid, Phosphoric Acid, 2-Butoxyethanol and a detergent. F-30 is just Phosphoric Acid and Hydrofluric Acid. Both will do a similar job when it comes to cleaning mineral based deposits on your paint and wheels however Wire Wheel Cleaner will do a better job at not only cleaning but brightening the appearance because of the added surfactants. Both products can be used at full strength however it would be overkill for the typical amount of contamination on a vehicle. You would normally only do this on extremely dirty vehicles such as in the fleet detailing world on bare unpolished metal. Something like a heavily corroded excavator or dump truck. Even then that would be rare. (Great news because you get more for your money diluting it down) Normal dilution ratios for both products are are as follows: Wheel Cleaning - 4:1 Removal of Oxidation - 3:1 Water Spot Removal - 8:1 Removal of Brake Dust - 10:1 *side note for Luke… you can download a little book from my website that has all my dilution ratios and even some off label use cases for the products I use for my business. Also I am in your DPM and Ceramic Coating Master Classes thanks for the opportunity 💪😊
Are all aluminum brightners created equal is the question? I work At Napa and we sell a Mac branded product that I wonder if would work like this. Usually Mac wash and wax is junk but wonder if this one might be ok.
Technically you can, but you CAN NOT let it sit too long nor dry completely on the painted wheels. I still wouldn't chance it though. You could try a higher dilution to make it less of a risk. I would not use it as wheel maintenance, only if the wheel is hammered.
i will like to try some of the superior products. but i want to know if they are safe to use on plasti dip. i use my car to experiment, and i plastidip dash, rims, mirrors and embrems.
Dude...nicely but very seriously....it is not fun to listen to you since you talk way way too fast like a lot of pent up anxiety just blurting out things in a stress release when no such verbal velocity is needed or warranted....it sounds like you're reporting a crime to 911 and not just calmly and efficiently sharing helpful info. You also don't need to make the same point over and over.....and you don't need to use so many words for a single point....intelligent adults already know the obvious stuff....you're not presenting. legal case for crying out loud where every detail has to explicitly be linearly built and articulated.....just freaking say the most simple point with very few simple words knowing we already are as intelligent as you are so don't need the obvious explained.....
I love both types of products. I'm a bigger fan of RCP Copperhead instead of Dark Fury. It's cheaper and dilutes the same and imo, is stronger. Nonetheless, Dark Fury full strength can be used as a touchless solution. Acids are tremendous and I used to use them exclusively. With this acid, does it stain the tires like acids tend to do?
Also mention you cant put aluminum bright on all rims some wheels work with no touch some don’t. We been in mobile detailing for over 50 years and its a lot of chemicals that would be safe for all rims. Aluminum bright will damage powder coated rims and is very harmful to to rims in the summer time.we have 32 mobile vans and cover 45% of sc but keep up the good work
@@KennyKern1 I tried DF as a pre-soak on single stage today, diluted 4:1. I wouldn’t recommend it, it seems to seep into the single stage pores and leaves a stain. I’ll have to polish it out. Other off label uses: 10:1 in a foam cannon as pre-soak on clear coat, I can get away with touchless, especially when the vehicle has a sealant or coating. We use 3D bead it up and it doesn’t strip.

Ammonia is a cheap base with pH of 11-12. Vinegar is a cheap acid with pH of 2-3. Dish soap is cheap degreaser with pH around 8-9. You can use these diluted with warm water to safely clean anything. No expensive chemical concoctions needed.
I use Turtle Wax Hybrid line Wheel and Tire cleaner, 3D Wheel and Tire cleaner diluted 20:1 or 10:1 depending on severity. And lastly DIY APC ALL CLEAN. Never used Superior products. As always informative videos Luke Wilson. You passion is appreciated always 🤜🏽🫡👌👀
I got the dark fury but I diluted it 4:1 idk I was able to dlt 10:1. Also I got BugzGone bc idk I could use DarkFury. Ty for the suggestions Luke. What’s the pump sprayer you use I don’t want to damage my IK sprayer😊
I use Brown Royal from Flash detailing for wheels. It looks like dark fury, but it has been out for over 10 years. I believe the dark fury is a rip-off of Brown Royal
I bought some Turtle wax iron remover last weekend and used some on my wheels. It did every bit as good a job as the stuff you showed did. Not a bit of scrubbing and wheel was shiny clean, iron free also. The car I tested it on just had a 2,500 mile trip to Colorado including a run up Pikes Peak (14,115 feet). I have ferro carbon pads which are also a bit dirtier than the normal ceramics. First time I've found anything that can really clean wheels.
Would Dark Fury strip ceramic coating or damage ppf? I want to try it as a bug remover and also to clean rocker panels, but I'm paranoid it would damage my ceramic coated ppf. Also, @ 13:23, isn't the pressure gun dangerously close to the paint? I've heard you gotta keep it 6 inches away from the paint and 12 inches away from the trim to avoid damage. I actually damaged the clear coat on my old car before I knew any better. I was trying to pressure wash some bird droppings from my car by getting in super close with the pressure washer. It took less than a month for those spots to show bubbling on the clear coat.
I love Superior Tire Dressing. It's easy to use, doesn't fling off. Last long and looks great,! What's your favorite tire dressing,? I used to use tire black until it was outlawed or discontinued for some reason
I used it at the recommended dilution rate on a cold bike out of air conditioned garage. Fury discolored my powder coated front wheel. Bike was in sun while applied but was rim was still cool to touch. I definitely wouldn't apply it to any painted surfaces.
I'm excited about trying the dark fury. I'm able to get to some parts of the barrel of the wheel but but not the whole thing . i hope this helps...THX!
Recently bought a new Audi Q7 and just learning about detailing. Was buying all these other products that everyone recommends, came across your channel a few months ago and having been replacing all my stuff with Superior Products (so far dark fury, road warrior, cherry foam, dirt buster and formula 4). Love the info on the doomsday scenarios - what if I flub up and leave on too long or in direct sunlight.
