    APC+, it is also low foaming which is important when using an extractor

    I once put swirls in my paint just to see what it looked like.
    I don't always detail cars, but when I do, I prefer Meguiar's.
    Remove swirls my friends.

        APC has fabric softeners and optical brighteners per the ADS ad copy.
        If you aren't using an extractor, the foam is not a bad thing,

        Meguiar's All Purpose Cleaner is ideal for reconditioning all interior surfaces. The superior foaming action gently lifts the dirt away while its unique blend of fabric softeners and optical brighteners enhance the look and feel of carpet, upholstery, vinyl and even leather.
        The ADS ad copy doesn't say a thing about fabric softeners and optical brighteners in the APC+. They do comment on the low foam ratio.

It provides mixtures for heavy cleaning of engines and tires, fast interior cleaning, as well as low foam ratio for use in carpet and upholstery extraction machines. Leaves carpet clean, smelling pleasant, and the fibers soft with no sticky residue. Safe for clear plastic, glass and leather.
        I have been using what is today referred to as APC for years and really like the stuff.
        I have never used today's APC+, but would probably be happy with it as well.

        Since I don't use an extractor, I have never seen any reason to change from the APC.

            Is the old, non-compliant formula of APC+ save for Kenmore carpet steamers?

            If it is, what dilution should I use?

              Is the old, non-compliant VOC formula of APC+ safe for Kenmore carpet steamers?

                It's funny that Andrew C. says APC+ has fabric brighteners, and yet the other guy says that APC has fabric brigtheners. I have both. Let me check.

                *Looking through closet to check labels on gallon jugs*...

                Ok, as far as what the labels say, only regular, green APC has fabric softeners and optical brighteners.

                  I like the APC + because of it being low foaming. Saves time when doing the interiors.
                  quality creates its own demand
