Hi do you mean from scratch like a chemist?

Simple Green or Super Clean are some of the popular concentrates here that people dilute to the recommended ratios.

From scratch like using sodium hydroxide in different strengths

Seems like a lot of work when you could get some Optimum Power Clean here on autogeek and call it a day. But if you enjoy that kind of thing go for it- maybe there are others that have done this and will chime in.

APCs and degreasers are probably the most inexpensive detailing products available. I can understand trying to make your own wax or mix up a QD but unless you are trying to get into the wholesale/retail arena stick to buying and diluting your detailing supplies.

Yeah good idea it was just a general question to see if anyone has ever tried or done it before and if they saved a Sssshh load of cash doing it :)
