Uses of All Purpose Cleaner?

Re: Uses of All Purpose Cleaner?

Another thing worth pointing out is the scent. APC smells like a chemical cleaner APC+ has a citrus scent.

Auto Detailing Solutions has both APC and APC+ available in 32 oz. sampler sizes.
APC - $5.99
APC+ - $6.49
Both are concentrates and will make a lot of end product.
You could order both and than decide which you wanted to use regularly.

ADS, Meguiar's
Scroll down about 1/3 to find the APC/APC+.

APC+ has a degreaser and is low foaming.

APC is foaming.

Right. If you use a hot water extractor APC+ is made to work in those machines without creating too much sudsing action.

I use APC+ in mine and LOVE LOVE LOVE the results.

You can get a Bissell Little Green Cleaning Machine (LGCM) at Wal-Mart for under $100.

Like others mentioned, the list of uses for APC/APC+ is almost infinite... I use that for cleaning every interior on every car, and then follow with M40 and/or IQD for my final pass.

APC+ also ROCKS at working on wheels, tires, carpets, and engines.

APC+ gets my vote over APC if your going to pick up a gallon.

What is the difference between the two? Are there things that APC can be used for that APC+ should not be used for--and vice versa?

What can't you use APC to clean might be the better question.

Good list Murr, there's a few on there I haven't yet tried.

Re: Uses of All Purpose Cleaner?

Oh my.... where does the list start...

Wheel wells, tires, seats, carpets, headliner, engine bay, steering wheels, shoes, suitcases, household carpets, sinks, showers, bathtubs, tables, outdoor furniture, yard statues/decorations, hard floors, lawn mower, snow blower, inside refrigerator, exercise equipment...

I am sure I have forgotten a few things I have used it for cleaning...

I tend to just wipe around the engine bay, and works fine for that. I really don't use it on the painted parts of the door jambs, because I don't know how much lubrication it provides.

I am wondering if I should get myself a gallon of APC, but I honestly don't know if I would ever use it much. I am not a professional. I only have two cars to take care of. I don't need it to clean the interior vinyl, plastic, or leather: I have M40, IQD, and Gold Class Leather Cleaner/Conditioner for those purposes. I don't have a carpet cleaner. So what else might I use it for?

I can envision using it to clean the door and trunk jambs (painted surfaces). I haven't yet gotten up the nerve to try to clean the engine bay, but is it strong enough for that?

Does it have any uses around the household?

TIA.

Cheers,

BTW, when folks refer to the "door jambs" or "trunk jambs," am I right in interpreting these phrases as referring to the painted surfaces inside the doors or trunk? Is "door jamb" synonymous with "door shut"?
