    CarPro Multi X might be an option if you are looking to try something different. Seems to check most of the boxes as an APC. Optimum Power Clean could be another one.

    I know Optimum Power Clean is safe on leather. But the last time I bought CARPRO Multi X, I thought the label said it is not recommended on leather.

    Tho never mentioned, I am going thru a gallon of Duragloss #403 APC. I find no issues with it at all. Currently using it on tires at 1:1. Safe and no strong odor.

    wheels and if need paint. Suggestions?

    Looks like D101 has optical brighteners,
    but Im not into that.

    Just looking for a straight APC.
    The following products aren’t part of the
    overly crowded: ‘what’s new out there’
    APCs; just a couple of products that work.


    Either:
    1.) “Go Orange” with P21S Total Auto
    Wash (TAW)


    Or:
    2.) Go with Meguiar’s D101


    •RE: “Optical Brighteners” (“OBs”):
    -Unless you plan on drinking a potion made
    from D101...(or potions from other products
    containing “OBs”)...Optical Brighteners, in and
    of themselves, are not dreadful ingredients to be
    included in cleaners—automotive, or otherwise.

    -And IMO: they’re way better at making surfaces
    appear cleaner, than the old-school blueing-agents
    used to do—or at least tried to do.

    Good call. I just checked my bottle. I use Inside at 1:1 or Meguiar’s D181 for leather and Multi X for exterior.

    Sandro from Car Craft Detailing used Multi X on leather in one of his videos. Seemed to work fine.

    Meguiar’s is still hard to bear for the price.l and Power Clean does work well in interior and exterior.
