So APC or Degreaser all around safe versatile cleaner?
I know APC can be used in interior. Degreaser more for engine bays.
Does one have more cleaning ability then the other and be safe at the same time.
For example I was cleaning a truck the other day and the wheel wells would not clean.
I used APC 10:1 and nothing. I should of tried 4:1.
Maybe the degreaser could of got them clean?

You might try Optimum Power Clean. Can dilute for multiple uses. I typically use at 3:1 for exterior or engine bays and 6:1 for interior. Straight for really grimy stuff. Safe for all automotive surfaces. I've really enjoyed this product; I think the only thing I use my APC is for cleaning pads anymore.

Been using Optimum power clean aka Alien Kleen since joining AG. The 3:1 ratio has worked on everything I've thrown at it

I personally use APC @10:1 for wheel wells and if they don’t come perfectly clean then oh well... Unless it’s a full on full detail, but otherwise I’m content with them getting a whole lot cleaner than before if they were That dirty.
But yes, definitely, some people use Super Degreaser for example for both tires and wheel wells.
I personally don’t because I’ve found that while the Super Degreaser is effective at cleaning wheel wells, there’s times where it’ll leave the plastic/rubber chalky white once it dries, and that’s the main reason I use APC @10:1.
+ I’ve long switched to Megs D143 for general tire cleaning which has all but phased Super Degreaser out of my rotation.

I just switched to that as well for light wheel/tire cleaning. What dilution(s) do you use?

2:1 [2 parts water, 1 part concentrate] works perfectly, dare I say even better than 1:1 for some strange reason.
I use it strictly for wheels & tires, never for wheel wells. I tried it once or twice on wells and didn’t like the results.

This is the wheel well that wouldn’t get clean with APC 10:1.

So it’s normal that wheel wells don’t stay clean? The white film was still visible after drying. I had to use 303 protectant to give it that black look.
