    Re: Is this a joke? BF Pro APC is $70/gallon?!?!?!

    I would like to see a side by side review with other brands (MK37, Optimum, etc).

The fact that the recommended dilution is full strength for exterior cleaning and 4:1 for interior cleaning makes it terrible value. I'm pretty certainly curious to see what ingredients were added to the old formula to justify the $15 price jump. Or if it's an entirely new formula all together? Also, while it's still pretty unreal, the list price for the new Blackfire APC is actually $64.99 not $70.
    I have one excellent neutral apc that is 32 oz highly concentrated and it makes 64 gallons, yes 64 gallons!!! I sell it for $20.00, and at that sell cost it is a huge mark up too. That's $3.20 in use cost per gallon, .80 per 32oz. trigger spray quart.

    Negative opinions are fine IMO but you kind of answered your own question. you break the rules on a forum youre subject to moderation. Its really that simple. Its rude to sign up voluntarily for a forum and then disregard codes of conduct. Thats all.

    More on topic - this apc definitely would need to show me something extra to grab it. Im sure it works well if you wanted to use all blackfire products for "product synergy"
    But ill have to stick with my remaining power clean and mk37 apcs.

    Ok, I want this one!

    But to the original post, I'm sure some will buy this APC at 70 bucks. It just won't be me.
    It is no coincidence that man's best friend cannot talk.

    So it will jump to 70.98..
    The sale price for 1 gallon of Blackfire APC is $54.99 with a retail price of $64.99. The prices you are referring too are for the combo of 1 gal. of APC and the 36oz. Detail bottle. I just wanted to clarify the actual price of 1 gallon of APC which is still completely unreasonable especially for an APC that is recommended to be used undiluted for exterior cleaning/degreasing.

    Doesn't look right - I think you're 10x too high. Should be $0.31 per gallon and $0.08 per quart. To get cost per gallon divide cost ($20) by total number of gallons (60).

    Seriously, a gallon of APC that is recommended dilution of 4:1, for $70?

    Megs is $20/gallon
    McKees is $30
    Optimum is $40
    Blackfire AIO APC is $40.

    This feels like outright gouging!

    It's not gouging if you don't buy it. If the stuff doesn't sell at that price then they'll have to lower the price to make it sell.

    True... I remember being similarly shocked the 1st time I found out the price of a gallon of Wolfgang Auto Bathe. I thought to myself, "what the heck can it possibly do, and who in the heck would buy it"?
    But obviously there's people who buy it...

    Btw, It's spelled Bathe, right? Seems like that would be the fancy way to say bath, so I went with it. Lol.
