Uses for APC??

[buddy89]

Hey everyone

Just reading up about APC and some of its uses...

Whats your favourite use for it?? Tires, wheels, interior??

Just bought some today and would like to know the best uses and dilutions for it??

Oh and i think i know this question but will ask to make sure... Does Last Touch replace what spray detailer does (lube for clay bar?) ??

Re: Uses for APC??

I use APC and APC+ for cleaning 90%+ of the interior- ranging from plastics, to rubber, to cup holders, to carpet, to leather. I keep one bottle at 10:1 and one at 4:1. I start with the 10:1 and bump it up to 4:1 when needed.

I honestly can't fathom doing an interior detail without APC(+).

I also use it from time to time on wheels, or stubborn exterior plastic/rubber stains. It also works well on most engines, and can work to clean tires as well.

If you can't tell by what I am saying, it truly is an ALL purpose cleaner.

I'll have to agree!

Re: Uses for APC??

Thats just the uses for the car as well...

I tend to mix my bottle around 7-8:1, and just use it for everything.

Re: Uses for APC??

I used APC+ (10:1) on my tires for the first time this weekend. We had a little break in the temperatures so I did a quick wash outside, pulled the car into the garage to dry it and forgot about it until this morning. I actually did a double-take when I glanced at the tires as I got in the car today to go to work. Short of using a dressing, I couldn't believe how good they looked. It's good stuff.

Yes, you can use Last Touch as a clay lube. The recommended dilution ratio is 1:1 as a lube and it is typically used full strength as mist and wipe detailer. (Also good stuff.)

Yea Mark pretty much knocked it out. I use to loosen up bugs and tough dirt when washing too. And when it comes to the interior, magical.

Peace

I use it in my kitchen, bathrooms, garage, etc. It's a fantastic product. Just picked up a gallon of APC+, had been using APC before.

Good call on that one- I do that occasionally as well if I know I am going to be re-waxing it anyway

APC/APC+ are not intended for cleaning paint, but many use it *with caution* at proper LOW concentration levels without ill effect.

I never let it dwell on dry paint (always after a rinse, so still wet), and never for more than a minute or two. I have never had any problems with it.

I also use it to wipe down door jambs and never had problems there either.

Use common sense, and caution...don't let it sit in the sun, or for extended periods of time.

Now, just to be clear, using APC or APC+ on paint is not something I believe isrecommended by Meguiar's...Maybe Mike Phillips can chime in

this is simply from my own, personal, meandering experience.

What are the uses for all purpose cleaner?

Its the ALL Purpose Cleaner!!!

I use it on Door Jambs which are painted but I would never actually use it to clean the paint.
