    Optimum power clean APC dilution ratios

    I picked up a large jug of optimum power clean with my first order with AGO and I was wondering what the proper ratios would be for the following

    Wheels
    Tires
    Interior carpet
    Interior upholstery
    Interior dash and panels
    Engine bay

    Thanks!

    Re: Optimum power clean APC dilution ratios

    I usually use 10:1 interior
    4:1 or 3:1 for really bad interior
    3:1 wheels or straight.. don't use for wheels much any more because expensive
    10:1 for bugs

    Re: Optimum power clean APC dilution ratios

    I dont use OPC specifically but I use Meguiars APC+ at 10:1 inside and 4:1 outside. Seems to be a good general ratio for the better quality All Purpose Cleaners.

    Oh and I use Chemical Guys All Clean+ at 15:1 for most jobs too (bugs, wheel wells, interior)

    For engine detailing I use 8:1 but my engine bay is well maintained.

    Is OPC ok to use on top of OC2.0 at those exterior dilutions?
