Multi-Purpose Cleaner

Re: Multi-Purpose Cleaner

I can't vouch for it personally, as I've obviously never used it yet, but if it is truly a direct replacement for APC, then yes it should work for both of these applications. I usually use APC+ diluted at 7:1 to get wax off of trim that someone has left on there for long periods of time. If the wax has been freshly applied and you are taking care of the wax on the trim in a timely manner, then this should be able to get rid of it quite easily (again, assuming that it works in the same manner as APC).

Thanks! This has always been an issue when working on cars. Especially since they have discontinued #39.

Re: Multi-Purpose Cleaner

Can this product be used for dried dog drool (yuck) on the plastic trim around the windows of a Ford Focus? As Michael pointed out, I'm one of those who doesn't want to buy a large container of APC.


Thanks.

Re: Multi-Purpose Cleaner

I am thinking this cleaner may be good to use to remove white wax residue on exterior plastic & rubber trim parts. Also, to remove the slippery silicone residue from interior areas like dash and arm rests?

Your thoughts and input always welcomed.

Re: Multi-Purpose Cleaner

Understand... And you are right about "correct application" Bottom line, I guess the rule is don't go crazy with it or any other cleaner. Thanks MIke!!!

Re: Multi-Purpose Cleaner

Which dilution is it closely related to? 4:1 or 10:1?

10:1

Is this new cleaner product safe for use on leather and/or vinyl upholstry?

While the product is safe, the biggest mistake people make with any cleaner on leather is that they spray it on and then scrub like crazy with a terry towel, to the point where they literally wear away the coating on the leather. They then blame the product. So, while this product is perfectly safe to use on leather and leather, how you use it (or any other cleaner from any other manufacturer, for that matter) is as important, if not more so.

Re: Multi-Purpose Cleaner

Yeah, the APC's are safe on the leather seats and vinyl.

However, this is great for consumers and something that I can refer a customer to when they're amazed from the results of APC+ and want to keep up there car between more extensive details.

Spot on, Jarred - we like the way your mind works!

Re: Multi-Purpose Cleaner

Seems like a great product, wish I had need for it but APC+ is more than adequate. Plus the cost effectiveness of APC is amazing and I love how different dilutions can be used for so many different things.

Re: Multi-Purpose Cleaner

This is derived from APC in the Detailer Line but is packed as ready to use here. Strife, you pretty much nailed it - you guys who are forum regulars tend to be so far ahead of the "average consumer" that you've been using this for years.

But the "average consumer" population is staggering compared to those of you who frequent detailing forums, and offering a product that addresses their needs is important to us since there's so much volume to be had in that market. We certainly aren't forgetting about you guys because you exhibit the passion we love so much - which is a big part of the reason why M101 is now available in the US.

But even forum members who are starting out in this hobby want to get their hands on products like APC but they don't always want to order online, and they don't always want a gallon of something that they then have to dilute. This gives them a ready to use option of essentially the same great product.

Re: Multi-Purpose Cleaner

I think this item was targeted at the occasional car guy/gal browsing the automotive aisles in Walmart or Target?
I love my gallon of APC+ and cannot see a need for this RTU item in my arsenal....but the bottle looks nice though...

Re: Multi-Purpose Cleaner

Any difference from the APC's, or just based on them?
