    What do you use to *clean* interior panels?

    I currently use optimum power clean diluted at 3:1, but I'm wondering if I should get an interior specific cleaner like DP or 1Z? Would that be better?

    1Z is nice, but any APC cut will do for cleaning. I use a white cotton towel to see if there is any grime left. Then I wipe again with another white cotton towel with just plain water to get any residue off before applying a dressing.

    Hey Mark,

    I use Meguiar's APC+ reduced 6:1 and for cleaning it does a great gob. Buying it by the gallon and reducing it for specific applications makes all the sense in the world to me.

    You're right Ron, no need for me to spend more money on a seperate cleaner. Power Clean cut a 3:1 works just fine. I like your idea of wiping with plain water after to remove any residue before applying a dressing, I do the same thing.

    You can always dilute Optimum more.

    At 3:1, it is overkill for an interior in nice condition. You only need as much as it needs to clean. ONR can be used as an interior cleaner.
