So APC or Degreaser all around safe versatile cleaner?

[TrustJesus]

I know APC can be used in interior. Degreaser more for engine bays.

Does one have more cleaning ability then the other and be safe at the same time.

For example I was cleaning a truck the other day and the wheel wells would not clean.

I used APC 10:1 and nothing. I should of tried 4:1.

Maybe the degreaser could of got them clean?

You might try Optimum Power Clean. Can dilute for multiple uses. I typically use at 3:1 for exterior or engine bays and 6:1 for interior. Straight for really grimy stuff. Safe for all automotive surfaces. I've really enjoyed this product; I think the only thing I use my APC is for cleaning pads anymore.

Been using Optimum power clean aka Alien Kleen since joining AG. The 3:1 ratio has worked on everything I've thrown at it

I personally use APC @10:1 for wheel wells and if they don’t come perfectly clean then oh well... Unless it’s a full on full detail, but otherwise I’m content with them getting a whole lot cleaner than before if they were That dirty.

But yes, definitely, some people use Super Degreaser for example for both tires and wheel wells.
I personally don’t because I’ve found that while the Super Degreaser is effective at cleaning wheel wells, there’s times where it’ll leave the plastic/rubber chalky white once it dries, and that’s the main reason I use APC @10:1.

+ I’ve long switched to Megs D143 for general tire cleaning which has all but phased Super Degreaser out of my rotation.

I just switched to that as well for light wheel/tire cleaning. What dilution(s) do you use?

2:1 [2 parts water, 1 part concentrate] works perfectly, dare I say even better than 1:1 for some strange reason.

I use it strictly for wheels & tires, never for wheel wells. I tried it once or twice on wells and didn’t like the results.

Ah ok thanks guys.
By the way is super degreaser safe inside plastics and vinyl?

This is the wheel well that wouldn’t get clean with APC 10:1.

So it’s normal that wheel wells don’t stay clean? The white film was still visible after drying. I had to use 303 protectant to give it that black look.

Can someone please answer if wheel wells stay clean with degreaser? I couldn’t get them clean 2018 Suburban.

They stayed with some white film, looking same basically.
