Here's something else I wrote on this topic,

D10301 All Purpose Cleaner Plus

Designed to be low foaming for use in carpet and upholstery extraction machines.
Diluted at the same levels it's stronger than APC.
Lower cost per ounce compared to APC.




D10101 All Purpose Cleaner

More foaming which helps visually when cleaning carpets by hand and brush. It's important to note that in the detailing industry this is an important factor so a person can tell where they're working on a segment of carpet or upholstery.
Fabric softeners and brighteners.
Not as strong as APC+
Higher cost per ounce compared to APC+

Hmm, if you had to use one or the other by hand, no ectractor, is normal Apc better, or will apc+ clean more? I want to order one or the other, at first I though APC+ was better in general and did all the cleaning, vinyl, upholstery, etcc a bit better than apc, am I wrong?

APC+ all the way.... I use it for everything from fender wells, tires, door panels and carpet! I use a 4 to 1 and a 10 to 1 ratio pretty much covers all my needs!!
