Which APC to buy?

[d33p]

Im really looking to simplify my detailing supplies instead of job specific products.

I bought BF interior cleaner cause it works fantastic and works on EVERYTHING on the interior of the car.

Kinda looking for an APC to do the same. Id like it paint, rubber, plastic, vinyl safe. Would like it to clean engine bay, brake dust, tires and wheels too if possible.

I already have megs d101 (leaves unwanted sheen on leather) but dont use it on paint so I was leaning towards OPC (optimum power clean) as it can also be used on paint and tougher stains on the interior if need be.


Any other suggestions? I dont mind spending the money (within reason) if it will speed up my process.

thanks!

I like the performance of Optimum Power Clean. Its a little pricey and the smell kills me!

Im probably going to try the new DP APC next.

Meguiar's APC from the Detailer line is my fav. But I havent tried any of the above mentioned.

What would you say it smells like ?

Becareful using OPC on paint. I've personally seen it cause damage to paint and fading of plastics. I still use it but not on paint

I have used this for awhile now but am getting ready to switch to Megs because of the people that swear by it and also the price point. I also use Chemical Guys CLD104 Grime Reaper Extremely Strong Degreaser http://amzn.to/1NH5ZAN I use it for engine bays and carpets but will be switching to Megs super degreaser due to price point.

For the exterior you really can't beat Meguiras X Wax. I use it almost everyday for one reason or another. Works great on Windows, Trim, headlights, paint, interiors, and chrome. Can't beat the price either.

How would you say Total compares to OPC? Like the OP, I'm wanting to keep things simple.
