    Re: D107 Citrus APC+ release date?

    The MSDS on Meguiars D107 has a publish date of 10/31/2017 so it is a very recent product. In concentrate, the pH is between 12-13 which seems pretty good for a degreaser. If you plan on using it for interiors, I would suggest diluting it at least 20:1. That will knock the pH down to 11.178.

    Sorry, I disagree with this advice. 20:1 would render this product all but useless except for the lightest of cleaning needs except if used in an extractor solution, as designated by Meg's own directions on the label.


    Suggested Dilution Ratios (Water:Product):
    Heavy Duty Strength: 4:1
    Medium Duty Strength: 10:1
    General Cleaning (Cold Water Extractors): 20:1
    General Cleaning (Hot Water Extractors) 64:1

    PH Rating: 12-13

    Machine Cleaning Tip: For stronger cleaning and long-term extractor machine performance, it is best to apply Citrus Power Cleaner Plus directly to carpet and upholstery. Use the machine for rinsing and extraction only. By running only water through the machine, the pump will last longer.

    It definitely has the properties of a degreaser and works quite well in that task, as evidenced by the years of built up junk on the engine I did.


    I have it diluted 10:1 for lighter jobs and at 5:1 for tougher stuff like engines and tires. FWIW, it works very very well as a tire cleaner also. I suppose for very light interior needs you could go to 15:1 or so.

    I was merely pointing out that a cleaner with high alkalinity may be too harsh for interiors. I always go with the least aggressive method first. There was a discussion on another thread where a member was afraid that he ruined an interior with Megs D103. A pH of 11.178 is safe enough for light cleaning on delicate interiors. At 15:1, the dilution is still safe enough at a pH of 11.3. At 10:1, the pH is 11.46 and at 5:1 the pH is 11.72. This is assuming that the concentrate starts at 12.5.
    At 4:1 it should be a great degreaser for engine bays and a great non-acidic tire and wheel cleaner.
