Favorite APC

[spewking]

Use of APCs are all over this board for a variety of tasks. I only have limited experience thus far.

What is your favorite APC? Why? For what uses?

Thanks.

On wheel wells and anything not paint sensitive I like CG's Grime Reaper. I always use it with a foaming sprayer and it seems to foam up, cling, and clean better than most. It doesn't hurt it's only like $20 a gallon and is like neon purple. For these areas LA's Totally Awesome also works just as well and is a $1 a bottle.

For paint stick with P21S TAW or Sonus All in 1.

For heavy cleaning, my go to is marine Spray 9. If I don't use that I go with Simple Green.

Like Simple Green , Zep , I have some BF that I need to use more often .

P21S Total Auto Wash for most everything pertaining to the painted surfaces. For wheels I stick with Sonax Full effect, but that is a dedicated wheel cleaner. I have also had great results with Roll-Off. I also like Megs APC.

I'm becoming a BIG fan of "LA Awesome" (Dollar Store stuff), especially on tires.

ALL-Clean is all I have used so far and it appears to work fine. I have heard OPC is good as well but haven't used it. Probably try that next.

Chemical Guys All Clean+: great all-around APC that can be used on any painted surface, plastic, carpet, upholstery, etc. It's dilution ratios are very high so even the 16 oz bottle will last a long time. I've used to clean my tires, wheel wells, bugs, int/ext plastic, and carpet/upholstery.

Honorable Mention: LA Totally Awesome; use with good ventilation if applying heavy though.

Blackfire or CG All Clean + is what I use

Have used APC, APC+, OPC, All Clean+ and 1z blitz

I like opc for exterior cleaning and 1z Blitz is by far my favorite for interiors.

How would you compare the cleaning ability of Meg's APC to OPC? I use OPC currently, but as you know it is relatively expensive, I am looking for a cheaper alternative for tires, wheel wells, and the engine bay so I can stretch my current stash of OPC longer.

Agree on 1Z Blitz for the smell
