  • All Purpose Cleaner Plus - Grease Removal

    Well, I have had All Purpose Cleaner Plus for about a year now and really have found many good uses for it. I just had the gallon pay for itself in one use!

    To make a short story long I found some grease on the interior of my 3 day old truck(I missed it on the delivery inspection), I bought the truck in Minnesota and was now back at home in Iowa. Needless to say I was a little up set, so I called the dealer and they offered to pay to get it removed locally - as I really didn't want to try and remove it for fear of making it look worse. After I got off the phone with the dealer I thought about it and pulled Quik Interior Detailer out, it wasn't up to the task of grease. I searched the product collection and reached for the APC+....

    Before:


    The Mess:


    After:


    As you can see it cleaned up very nice but it did take a little scrubbing and the Triple Duty Detail Brush to get in the grooves. This part of the vehicle is a plasticy, textured something or another. I also found some grease on the steering wheel and drivers door panel and again the APC+ removed it with ease. After looking at it in the sun there might be just a hint of grease left to clean up on the gray area in the photos.

    I then called the dealer and told them the I was able to remove the grease on my own, they were very nice about it and did offer to pay for dinner out one night for the trouble but I declined as it really didn't take long to remove with the right product.

    APC+ rocks!

            Bought and Avalanche, I have been looking for a few months. I did have an S-10 prior to the L, I really didn't have any good luck with the S10. But after riding in a the new Tahoe and Avalanche I found the Avalanche to be exactly what I wanted, a 4 door pickup with a comfortable ride. Chevy has really stepped up to the plate with their new full size trucks and SUVs.

              I know this thread is a little dated, but had an occasion to use APC+ cleaning my stainless steel BBQ last weekend. Baked on grease wouldn't budge with the special SS BBQ cleaner I had in stock so I figured why not look into my Meguairs stash....APC+ cut through the crud that nothing else would touch. At 10:1 dilution it did OK but I mixed up a special bottle at 7 or 8:1 and you could watch the grease drip down the sides. Spray on, let it sit a short while and wiped off with (many) paper towels. Awesome.

                    APC+ rides again. My wife uses some kind of sonic jewelry cleaner for her diamond rings and such. Last weekend she ran out of the juice (which is pretty expensive for a really small bottle) and I told her to give my 7:1 dilution of APC+ a try. The stuff came out better than ever and in much less time. It actually looks better than when it's professionally cleaned at a jewelers. Not sure I'd try it with softer stones (opals, emeralds etc) but with gold and diamonds it's a winner.

                      Mort - interesting, I have found tons of uses since I started this thread and couldn't be happier with either APC or APC+ both get a big thumbs up in my book!

                        I couldn't agree more. Being that I use APC+ for all kinds of stuff, I probably go through more APC+ than any other Meguiar's product. Been thinking about stepping up to the five gallon monster.

                          Huh - never thought of that, I kind of try to conserve it so I don't run out all of the sudden. I used 'Greased Lightning' prior to the APC products now use APC or APC+ in place of the GL. Seems that it will clean just about anything!

                            I use a lot of APC, but I was looking at APC+. Can I use APC+ on everything I used APC on? If so, I need to order some from ADS before the November sale runs out.
                            Thanks.

                              Yup.

                              I believe the main difference is that APC+ is a lower "sudsing" formula so it can be used in hot water extractors/carpet cleaning.
