  • Wipedown w/ mf needed after APC+ 10:1?

    After wiping down the hard plastic and door panels with apc+ 10:1, do you usually follow with a damp clean mf to remove any residue or is it insignificant to the point a protectant will take care of it?

    Well, If I was using a lot of APC, I would be sure to dry off excess.

    Usualy I dont need to much, so I just apply then just use the protectant.

      My guess is most people don't, hey go right to the protectant/dressing.

      If you like, you could wipe down with a light cleaner and this will insure any residue is removed.

      Try either Quik Interior Detailer Spray or Quik Interior Detailer Wipes.

        ok I usually do use something afterwards, the mf I used with the apc+ left the surface just damp, so I'll probably just hit with some protectant then. I would imagine if I was using 4:1 then I'd want to wipe down then.

          I use APC then go straight to dressing, if i see any residue i either re apply APC or use QID like Mike suggested

            Seems like I must be the only one that does go over the areas with a damp towel after using an APC on vinyl. plastic or leather.
            Takes very little time and I then feel like I have done a better job of cleaning.
            Seems to be another case of "Whatever works for you".

              what your doing is fine and is probably good. I just never really seen APC leave a residue.

                I always rinse when using cleaners. Just habit I guess.

                Nothing wrong with it. Today I was working on leather seats and APC+, agitate, rinse, rinse wipe down. When it was dry, I liberaly sprayed GC leather cleaner/conditioner on to treat them

                  What you you mean by "rinse, rinse wipe down"? Damp microfiber to get off the residue?
