303's Fabric/Vinyl Cleaner as an APC

[Waxmax]

Wanted to get some feedback on 303's Fabric/Vinyl Cleaner (aka All Purpose Cleaner).

I read that full strength it has a pH of 8.5 so it is very safe (just slightly caustic) and can be diluted and used to clean engines, tires, wheels, carpet, vinyl, leather.....has anyone used it?

Thanks for any commets.

I used it to clean up some plastic exterior trim on my car since I didn't have anything else at the time and it stripped the previous dressing nicely and left a clean surface to reapply to. I can't comment on interior use, however.

Christian,

Thanks for the reply. Doesn't look like many use it. I just ordered a bottle to try....it sounds super safe and very versatile and that's what I'm looking for.

I have used it for my convertible top and if it is safe enough to do that (very well) then I would trust it on pretty much everything. You could dilute it and be even safer, although I am not sure how that would impact the cleaning power.

I like it. 303 recommends some pretty wild dilutions, like 30:1 or more, but I like it diluted between 5:1 and 20:1 depending on the job. It's not a real good grease cutter on the engine, though. I usually go for something stronger if working on baked on engine oil.

Well, if it works at those dilutions then that would definately increase your bang for the buck quite a ways! I used it at 2:1 which is probably overkill but it cleans quickly and completely so I don't really mind.

I used it a lot, great cleaning power even when heavily diluted. It works as advertised and have had many successes with cleaning exterior and interior plastic, vinyl, rubber, and cloth.

Excellent product! My go to for the nasty scuff marks and carpet stains.
