APC Omigod

[Heatgain]

I've never used APC thinking...well, I have plenty of detailing products plus household cleaners that I use, why spend more money on APC?
I received 1/2 gallon of APC the other week in a trade of some products with another forum guy and used it yesterday on a detailing for an '02 Explorer.
The grey cladding on the exterior of the Explorer was dirty and dull and had white blotches of old wax from the owner's attempt to wax a year or so ago. The wheels were filthy and the tires were red clay "dyed" in spots even after pressure washing.
I filled a 2 gallon bucket with water, added 2 small glugs of APC and threw my brushes in the bucket. Omigod! It cleaned the wheels, the tires, and the roof rack. I used a small toothbrush-type grout brush on the white wax residue with APC.....gone! I cleaned all exterior plastic with the APC and a rag. There's a black rubber piece running along the bottom of both side of this Explorer and it too had red clay "dye." Gone!
I ended up using the APC on most of the non-metal parts of the car, interior AND interior.
I'm hooked. GREAT stuff.

I've seen what it can do on here, and it'll be in my next major purchase, along with an extractor

APC really lives up to its name. A very versatile product. Glad you like it.

Re: APC Omigod

I agree with you guys. APC is a great cleaner. It's on my list for when I place another order. I'll definitely have to pick up the gallon.

And when the detail was over, I threw all my applicators in the leftover APC mixture in the bucket to soak. I put away all my tools, equipment and supplies, then rinsed out the applicators and the bucket. I LOVE that APC! What took me so long to get some? I'm SO stubborn.

Re: APC Omigod

nice one Heatgain! I having some misgivings about using APC beyond the interiors- but from your experience I guess I will be using it too on cleaning my rims.

Re: APC Omigod

Definitely my most used Meguiar's product and probably my most used product, period.
It is the one product I seem to use every time I clean my vehicles.
A 10:1 mix works for carpet, upholstery and vinyl.
4:1 mix works good for engine cleaning and wheel wells. I don't happen to use it on my tires, but I have read where it works good on them as well.

Re: APC Omigod

Is APC+ just like APC but stronger...?

APC Plus has a hint of degreaser in it. APC Plus is also lower foaming.

Re: APC Omigod

Both APC & APC+ are great (been through a few gallons of each and am currently on my 3rd with APC+). For the price, performance and dilution, it's easily one of the best values ever, and it's not limited to just auto related tasks (I use it around the house too). I've used the "other" guy(s) APC's that cost twice as much, with no better/equal results and not to mention it couldn't be diluted. If I had to list one of my top five products by Megs, this would be one of them.
