APC+ good for interior?

Re: APC+ good for interior?

Received my 1 gallon of all purpose cleaner plus today. In one of the bottles I did 4:1 for heavy strength. I had a lot of grease on an optima battery that I removed from my previous vehicle. A few sprays, and about 10 seconds later I wiped it down with an ADS MF towel, and it was very clean. If I would have used a brush to get in the cracks I would say it looks as clean as a new one! Very little effort involved it cut through the grime easily.

7:1 seems to work great for me right now and haven't looked back. I use it for everything. I also mix my super degreaser and APC and Wheel Brightner 7:1. Haven't used Wheel Brightner yet (just got it) and the Super Degreaser may be mixed not as strong as 4:1 but it works or I just do another application if needed. I don't like SD on my paint for very long (from overspray if you will).

Cool. How do you make 7:1 with a Meguiar's bottle? I only see markings for 10:1 and 4:1.

Re: APC+ good for interior?

I bought two empty APC+ bottles. I figure I'd try out two different ratio's. One regular and one heavy duty.

If it is real heavy duty I will just use the super degreaser bottle instead.

Re: APC+ good for interior?

While on this subject, what dilution ratios do you use with APC? I mixed mine 10:1 because that's what I heard is good as a general cleaner. Nappers, what do you use your 7:1 for? What ratio is best for removing stains from clothing? Thanks.

Re: APC+ good for interior?

I mix about 7-8:1 for everything.

APC = Exterior cleaning (tires, wheels, etc.) as it foams and gives good scrubbing/working time.
APC+= Interior (low foam) and works quickly to remove stains, dirt, etc..
Both work great

Re: APC+ good for interior?

At least similar.

We dont have that here, but used to have a similar product that worked well.

Its just a matter of how much you will use. Even mail ordering, APC may end up a lot cheaper if you will use a lot of product.

Re: APC+ good for interior?

Is APC the same stuff that's in the Cloth & Trim Cleaner? I can find this in my local auto supplies store, whereas APC I need to mail order.

Re: APC+ good for interior?

I just purchased a gallon of APC+ from ADS. (along with a bunch of other stuff, for the duffle bag) Thanks for the input!

Re: APC+ good for interior?

Since you are using both by hand and extractor. APC+ will be for you. As others have stated, you will find a million uses for it around the house.

Re: APC+ good for interior?

Thats how I treat the APC, yeah.

Re: APC+ good for interior?

You will want to try to avoid it on the clear plastics I think, they are a bit softer and can swirl easily. I think IQD would have better lubrication.

Ok. APC has the same limitation, correct?
