    Hoping to Switch APC

    I am looking for a new APC. I have been using Optimum Power Clean, but find that I do not like the smell that it leaves. The smell does remind me of something that is not very pleasant. Smell is very subjective, so I will refrain from stating it here. I must add that I am very pleased with OPC cleaning power.
    So my question is, is there an APC that can compete with OPC and leave a pleasant (??) after smell?

    I too use OPC and do not like the smell at all just like you. The only other APC i've used and have a lot of experience with is Adams. It does smell considerably better and is a pretty good performing APC.

    I have never used 1Z Einszett Blitz; however, all if their products that I have used so far have a similar smell that just smells clean. I know that is not a lot of help but maybe it will at least give you another product to consider.

    I've been happy with Blackfire APC and it smells decent too.

    I assume you'd like to use APC on the interior as well?

    Chemical Guys All Clean + does a great job inside 20:1 and outside 10:1. It has a nice citrus smell

    My favorite is Pinnacle Signature All Purpose Cleaner Concentrate.

    Cleans well, can be diluted depending on the application, and can be used on virtually any surface - inside or out.

    Oh, and it has a pleasant citrus fragrance.

    Thanks for all the replies. I am looking to use it on the interior for the cloth seats (when extracting), dash and doors. I guess my next step would be to check the suggested products reviews.

    D101 is irritating to the nose and throat if I use it for something like tires. However for interiors it smells like a generic cleaning product. It is also very good on interiors and extremely cost effective.
