    Re: Best APC comparison

    Well for interiors I use P&S Xpress Interior Cleaner but Pan The Organizer & Scott from Dallas Paint Correction both recommend Super Clean for Interiors

    Re: Best APC comparison

    I used to not neutralize after using APC's and degreasers but after using on black interiors and seeing how it dries on chrome door handles and sill plates I realized that high alkaline cleaners are definitely leaving behind some sort of residue. I don't know the long term impact but I know (at least on the cars I'm working on) and my own personal vehicles I'd rather be safe not sorry.

    D101 is definitely better on Fabric and Carpet than Mckee's Hi-Intensity APC+ IME. Must be those optical brighteners

    I have gone back and forth with this but also use a damp microfiber cloth.

    So it's simply:

    1. Spray D101 on mf towel or surface ( depending on if I need to be cautious w/ overspray )
    2. Clean surface.
    3. Run a separate wet/damp mf towel over the surface.
    4. Run a 3rd mf towel over surface to dry it.

    To me it's almost too many steps... but it seems to works best.

    Would appreciate, as always, other opinions/successes/etc.

    All APC will be higher pH. All will need to be neutralized/rinse afterwards if used on carpet or upholstery. You would have better results using a dedicated carpet cleaning product and rinse

    I respect what you’re saying... As a matter of fact I myself had a similar eye opening experience after polishing a windshield 1 day. Even after having used my very best microfiber towels for polish removal there were traces of polish, dust, and polishing oils that were later visible proving that an IPA or similar wipedown would’ve made the difference between that and a perfect final result.

    Not only did it make me realize the issue at hand, but it also made me think of what must be taking place whenever we polish paint and the stuff the naked eye might not always catch. The “polishing oils”.

    Eye opening yes, but not quite enough to make me change my ways on paint unless I’m ever set to go extreme OCD on a detail. But I understand what you’re saying.

    As far as interiors, I do follow up with a secondary wipedown with something like Quik Interior Detailer whenever I use Magic Eraser on vinyl door panels or anywhere I’ve cleaned with it.

    Yes, those two are the channel where I heard great stuff about Super Clean. Seems to be a well liked product.

    Hi mwoywod,

    For fabric and carpet stains, how is OPC compared to D101?

    Any recommendations please? Something easy to use for newbie and broad uses (so I don't have too many products).

    OPC isn't recommended for carpet or fabric. I've used it to spot remove grease/oil stains but not for actually cleaning seats or carpets.

    Re: Best APC comparison

    Your best option would be either OPC and a dedicated Interior Cleaner (I personally like Griot's Interior Cleaner and Ultima Interior Shampoo)

    OR

    Just an APC like D101 or Mckee's APC+

    If you are trying to just get one product I'd go with just an APC
