Costco APC

Joshua312 · 05-25-06, 07:54

Hello, I always read in the click and brag that many of you use the Costco APC on the interior to clean vinyl, etc... I want to try it out but I just dont want to go to costco and buy a membership yet just to try it out (I know there are many other things I could probably get at costco, I just want to try this out before I take the leap)

If anyone could either order me some online and have it sent to my house or pick up some at their local costco and ship it...I would be willing to pay product price + shipping + some extra for your gas/time. Thanks to anyone who replies! I really appreciate the help!

have you tried to see if its online..if it is order it ...it doesnt require you to have a membership online at least they may add $ since your not a member....i dont have membership but i did order a steamer online from there website and it was okay....unless you want to walk in....also this is a suggestion i went to pepboys and they have simoz apc on sale for 6.99(i think) i tried it ....it work just as advertised but i cant compare it to costco ....my main apc is megs apc...im not sure if there is a diff.. at least in apc...but i only used simoz for some brake dust caked on rims it cleaned itbut i think i will try wheel bright .....

For some reason I cant find the APC or any cleaners online for some reason - Thanks for the heads up though that you can purchase online without a membership...I will keep looking to see if I find it

They will typically add 5% to the order for nonmembers (at least that is how it works in store). If you have one nearby, ask them for a guest pass, they will sometimes waive the fee for one day (or subtract it from the cost of the membership should you decide to join).

I didnt even know it was possible to add that 5% if Im not a member or have a guest pass - - I thought it was more like Sams where you have to have an ID - Im going near Costco tonight so I'll stop by and see if I can get in

thanks!

Alright, I went to Cosco last night and they let me in for free to just look around but I couldnt purchase anything unless I became a member..I seen the huge gold class wash, 2 armor all for $10...but couldnt find the APC everyone talks about - The only thing I seen was Oil Eater - Could someone take a picture of the bottle or tell me the name of it - Thanks! Looks like I'll be buying a membership next time around!

It is in the cleaning supplies section, not the automotive section. It is a squarish, clear gallon bottle, with bright green liquid in it with a Kirkland label. (Kirkland makes stuff for Costco).

Looks like neon colored Simple Green.

To be honest, most APC's 10:1 will work for you and aren't very expensive.

I would invest in a gallon of Meguiar's new APC. When cut 10:1 or 5:1 for interiors, it'll last a long time. I think it is excellent and use it all the time, even on leather.

Dilute 10:1 to gently clean all interior carpet, vinyl, leather & wood surfaces.

Wow, that is a great price for making 5-10 gallons...Im going to keep browsing the site and probably purchase some other things too - thank you very much! Costco will still get my business for Oxy-Clean...Armor All...Gold Class..and other things Im sure to find

No sweat Josh.

Just be sure to do the math with your Costco membership! Is it worth the $45 fee to join just to buy, on occasion, Armor All and Gold Class at good prices? Or, will your family use Costco on a regular basis making it worthwhile?

My family uses Costco all the time (for many staple goods), so I volunteer to go and somehow a few gallons of Gold Class or 10 pack of Eurow MF's make it in the basket at checkout!

wow...our Cosco must suck - It cost $50 to join ours haha - We'll definately use it for many purposes...I walked around the whole store yesterday...From cleaning products, car stuff, storage...food, Im going to volunteer to go as well! Seeing such good prices on things just makes you want to buy everything
