I have a regular bar and grill account that I clean about every 3 months. This past week was my 4th time cleaning it. CGD, blueish with some white and gray, about 2000 sq ft.
First time cleaned 3-07 I used Powdered Power boosted with Nitro (oxy) and Citra Pure. The Nitro was very difficult to dissolve. Some areas the grease was so thick the prespray floated on top. Pre vac then presprayed about 500 sq ft at a time then agitated with Rotovac with the black brush heads. HWE at about 160 degrees temps. Took about 6 hours and did not come out very good at all. Barely cut the grease. I only charged half because I was so disappointed with the results.
Second time cleaned 7-07 I used Trashed 2 boosted with Nitro. Same method as above but this time I tapped into custy's hot water and had 180 to 190 degrees at the wand. Did the grill side one night and the bar side the next night. Basically cleaned each area twice to get better results than the previous cleaning. Total time 10 hours. It did cut the grease but was still not as clean as I thought it could be. Looked blotchy.
Third time cleaned 11-07 I used the Judson Juice with the hot sauce. Same method as above, prevac, prespray agitate and HWE. Results were much better than previous cleanings. Grease and grime pretty much gone and in less time. 4.5 hours start to finish. The customer was very happy with the results. Traffic lanes still slightly blotchy but overall "best it has looked in years". Easiest cleaning so far for me.
Fourth time cleaned this past week. I used the free sample of Clean Streak from Duane. Same method as above except this time I brought along a helper who presprayed and agitated in front of me as I was doing the HWE. Probably got a little more agitation but less dwell time than any of the previous cleanings. Best results of all 4 cleanings. Total time 2.25 hours. Carpet almost looked new. Custy was thrilled.
In conclusion I would have to say the results from the Clean Streak looked the best. This could be partially due to the fact that the previous cleaning removed much of the "old " grease and grime and we were cleaning up only 4 months of accumulation. And we agitated a little more than previous. In any event, I believe it is a damn good product, and, like the Judson Juice, made my job very easy and the custy very happy. I did not use the rinse agent with either product as I do not have that capability on my unit.
Next cleaning scheduled for June. This time I will bring my digital camera and do a side by side comparison with the juice and the streak.
Thanks Duane and Leslie for making my job easier.
Take Care,

PS. Did a residential the other day where the tenant had been working on their wave runner inside the house. Oil spots everywhere. 50 to 60 total. I was asked to come in and try to get the spots out...the yellow truck had been there the week before. I used the juice, mixed 50/50 in a spray bottle as spotter, then presprayed and HWE as usual. All the oil spots gone. Went back 3 days later to follow up and still no spots.
