Fels Naptha

[Austin Willoughby]

Is fels naptha bar soap still being used by anyone on here as a spotter? Seems it used to be the miracle spotter back in the day. I never really used it but was just curious if having 1 or so on the truck is worth it?

It still has it place yes

What stains specifically does it treat?

What stains specifically does it treat?

Grease, oil, high traffic lanes, extra omf on a multitude of spots… boosts peroxide spotters, because it’s a ‘hard’ bar, acts dual purpose, agitates and spots @ the same time…

Very useful on oily spots on upholstered fabric…

Useful? Yes, it has a place on my person daily….

Just make sure to rinse well.

That's what I was wondering. Sounds like it can be used as a primary spotter for most stuff.

 

[SamIam]

I primarily use power gel, but I use fels when that fails, and on upholstery too.

Read the description and it sounds a lot like d limonene to me

I still use it on occasion. I keep a bottle of it (liquid) for those random black spots that need a little help. It actually rinses out better than power gel and works just as good.
To liquify it just grate it up and mix with warm water … about half a cup in a 32 oz bottle.

(Bear in mind that Mikey can’t make any money off of Fels, so TopsSpot must be better.)

When I was making my own prespray I used it that way mixed in. Never really got a chance to use it. Wondered how well it would work.

Just buy a case off Amazon, and use it.

Lol I still have some from when I was making my own pre spray but just keep forgetting to try it as a stand alone spotter.

Get yourself a pouch from Homedepot, put a bar of it in there, and get a little squirt bottle, fill with diluted TOPS spot, clip it on your belt, and everybody will be happy, including your customers….

Oh, and throw a gum getter in there for good measure…

Good idea. Thanks for the tip

Using the bar is inconvenient
Plus you look like a real GOOBER with a pouch on

I'm a world class goober a class above the rest. Suits me right down to the core lol. Not inconvenient for a helper to use while they're standing around looking lol

They won’t be standing
They’ll be bending over rubbing a bar of soap on the carpet

We all have developed a system that works for us…

My ‘system’ has made me 500K this year off of ONE truck.

You are running 2 trucks, are you there yet???

Another thing you’ll notice is the “my dick is bigger than yours” response is always a lie.
