    how to clean Plastic trim and Rubber seals?

    Hi,

    I've been reading some post and everyone has a different answer..

    and i am sure i will too..

    but before I coat my my trim dlux carpro.. what is the best way to clean the rubber and plastic trim?

    Some people say APC? I was going to get Optimum Power Clean All Purpose Cleaner 17 oz...

    Is this pre-diluted ? or do I have to dilute it further for the plastic and rubber trim?

    On my hand though I have griots paint pre and pre wax bottles can I use those?

    What is a good APC to buy?

    I normally use Power Clean then wipe it with IPA 25% before applying DLux, Ultima Trim Guard also works good with good durability for a dressing.

    I'll go with Meguiars APC, it's cheap and can be diluted to most type of cleaning
