    Thank you for the chart! . Does it have to be accurate though? I always thought that if you added more chemical product with water, it would strengthen it.

    If the product is not diluted sufficiently, it can have detrimental effects on the surface you're using it on - in detailing, the small details matter .

    Does it have to be accurate. Not really, but I like it to be.

    if the product is to weak or to strong it won't perform the way you expect it too. to weak can take forever to clean. to strong can remove color from plastic, vinyl and leather. full strength apc would damage these materials, lose the color, streaking, white stains. really just bad things. diluting the product makes it weaker and more predictable.

    also it saves money. I know my window cleaner, IPA cost me about $1.15 with distilled water. My APC cost me just $0.08 per 32 oz because its diluted 1:15. for a car detailing business these numbers are important.

    Lcean Wheel Lug Nut Brush
    303 Aerospace Protectant 16oz --I can use to for exterior trimming right?
    Griot's Garage Heavy Duty Wheel Cleaner 35oz
    Griot's Garage Finest Sprayer
    The Grit Guard Insert


    The only thing I probably need left is interior cleaning product. Not a big fan of those greasy looks though. I want a product that actually lifts off stains and whatnot from fabric, vinyl, plastic trims, leather. What do you guy's suggest? Also, feel free to recommend other products that i may need since i'm still inexperienced.
    For cleaning I use Megs APC+ at 10 to 1, does a great job and is cheap.

    For tough carpet stains, Folex.

    For a nice matte finish, Megs QID same as 1z cockpit premium only cheaper

    For a semi-glossy finish, Megs WBD diluted 1 to 1

    For a satin finish, Mothers VLR

    Looks like the majority votes win. Meg APC+ is the one I am going to settled down with (: . Also, does anyone know when they will stock "Carrand 2 in 1 Electrostatic Detail Brush"? It says that it's on "back order".
