    Are RTU spray bottles the diluted solution? It removed paint from interior switchgear when I tried it and left the black plastics looking a little gray too.

    I do use an RTU type spray bottle to measure the dilution ratios. I add 2 oz of concentrate and fill the rest with water up to the neck of the bottle. I have never had a problem with Simple Green damaging plastics or removing paint. Perhaps the dilution was not enough. 2:1 or 4:1 may be too strong.
    I also use Megs D101 diluted 10:1 or even 20:1. If you really want to safely clean an interior, I would recommend Ultima Interior Shampoo Gel.
    I believe in treating everybody with respect, and clean cars. That’s what I believe in.

    Re: Zep vs simple green

    Would you say p&s express diluted 1:1 to have the same cleaning power as full strength ? How does it compare to car pro inside at 2:1 ?

    Haven’t used Inside. Got Xpress 1st and no need to try anything else. I use mostly at a 60/40 split (60% being water)
