i tried ordering a gallon of OPC but it is on back order so i was looking for some opinions on what would be a good replacement for OPC. looking for something that works just as good and can be used on everything like OPC.

Meg's APC+ is a good alternative. However, Meg's does not suggest using it even close to as strong on paint as you can OPC. Generally speaking, you can use OPC un-diluted on anything, but the strongest you'll want to use APC+ is 4:1(64:1 or something like that on paint).

thanks. i was thinking the same product but was hoping i would have gotten more options or atleast more suggestion for APC+. oh well it is ordered now. lol
Although I've never used Megs APC to strip paint (if I use an APC type cleaner on paint I use P21S TAW), but according to Mike Phillips and Jason Rose it is safe to do so. Here is an excerpt from an email from Mike about a year or two ago. This is a quote from Mike;
I don't know the dilution levels for other APC's only Meguiar's as I had to get this from Jason Rose accuracy reasons... You can use either APC or APC+ to remove or strip car waxes and paint sealants from your car's paint. This is technically for what's called de-waxing but the same principals apply to removing any unwanted film or residual polishing oils off the surface for inspection.
64:1 for a regular car wax type products 20:1 for hi-tech polymer type products
It's also recommended to chemically strip paint before damp-sanding to insure not chemicals sand off and load-up or contaminate your paper or discs.
It's a good idea to test any product on any coating if you've never worked on it before and you're unfamiliar with it.
Maybe this will help to clear up some of the confusion of; "Is megs paint safe or not"? Hope this helps someone...BTW Megs APC+ has never not let me down, or not performed what I've asked of it...and yes I do have a couple gallons of OPC too , and yes OPC also works very well and has never let me down either...
