Re: Megs APC & APC Plus dilution ratio's
What are you looking to do?
I have a 7:1 bottle thats "safe" for paint (even 10:1 since I hear people having spots/tear drop issues with APC on paint), then I also have a 4:1 for the more heavy duty stuff.
I've heard people use it anywhere from 10~4:1 on interiors for leather and everything else.
I however switched to OPC before actually trying out APC+ so sorry that I don't have hands on experience.

APC/APC+
APC+ is the better of the two for interior/extraction jobs on carpets, leather and upholstery as it is low foaming and has a more "friendly" scent.
Main uses: wheels, tires, engines, interior surfaces and upholstery, exterior trim...
4:1 for heavy duty cleaning
7:1 for medium duty cleaning
10:1 for light duty cleaning
Super Degreaser
Main uses: tires, engines...
4:1 for heavy duty degreasing
7:1 for medium duty degreasing
10:1 for light duty degreasing
Glass Cleaner Concentrate
Main uses: windows...
10:1

Can APC be mixed in a car wash solution to strip old wax?

Re: Megs APC & APC Plus dilution ratio's
Like I said in my 1st post, I would be vary wary about using it. If you do some search on google some had it leave marks/tear drop paint runs. But I'm sure if you use it at a very very low concentration it would be okay (I have not tried it so don't take my word as gospel).

I think it's safe on paint with a dilution of 1:64 or 1:128. There are better products to strip away your LSP though such as Optimum Power Clean.

Re: Megs APC & APC Plus dilution ratio's
I see the ratio above at 10:1 and Maximus has his 1:64. I have often wondered with APC is the first number is water and the second is the cleaner? I use OPC at 3:1 with three parts water and 1 part OPC. What is the correct was to interpet dilution ratios? The first number water or is the forst number product?

USUALLY the smaller of the two is product.

No, for light duty it's 10:1. For paint it's either 64:1 or 128:1..I can't remember. Don't use it on paint unless it's extremely diluted. The 10:1 would be for interiors and such.
I mistyped last time. Every auto product I can think of has more water than product unless it's 1:1. I'm sure there are some though.
