looking for alternative to my favorite APC

[builthatch]

i have been using OPC (Power Clean) for years, but, it's pretty expensive. but awesome. i tried an orange degreaser from another detailing brand and it was useless.

for those who have tried OPC - is there an alternative out there that is more affordable? I am looking for something that I can safely use to clean painted stuff, tires and tar/greasy type stuff but also dilute for use elsewhere, like leather.

i was looking a Meguiar's, but Megs has an APC and a Super Degreaser, whereas OPC does both w/ one product.

i found someone on here who recommended the McKee's Hi-Intensity APC but in the same sentence they also recommended the other orange stuff i used and hated. but i am taking a hard look at the McKee's anyway.

thanks.

La awesome is pretty good for a otc product.The megs stuff is pretty good,when I can't meet up with my vendor I use the green apc from megs.The super degreaser is pretty strong and you can cut it 50/50.stick with the green it's versatile on everything.

haha yeah i know TA has been recommended for a while but it appears to be the same active ingredient as the other orange stuff i tried so i'm good there. nice to see two votes for the megs though. thanks.

OPC costs a few more bucks for a reason. I use it on interior leather without fear of it staining or pulling dye out. You have some nice rides so I don't know why you'd want to risk a product that is probably inferior to save literally a few dollars. If I was you, I'd order a few gallons while AG has this 20% off sale goin on.

thanks. i agree that it's awesome and flexible but i end up using it everywhere, not just for detailing, and i mow through it. i use it in the house, in the garage - everywhere. if i could find something close to it and then cut my OPC use back to situations where i really need that specific product, i'd feel better about things.

+1 For Megs 101. I use this stuff on everything from my dirt on my kids sneakers to tar and tree sap on my truck.

Gotcha. If you're going to use for other things then I'd agree with D101.
