All Purpose Cleaner (APC)?

**Gran Torino** · 03-22-2013, 10:01 AM

What`s the best APC out there?

Optimum Power Clean?

Top of the Line - Top Shot?

Any of the 3D products?

Or something else?

P.S. - By "best" I mean the most effective cleaner, regardless of quantity per dollar, or availability.

Well, when cost is no object, I`d vote for the Optimum product.

If you are on a budget, I`d attempt to purchase Meg`s excellent APC+ locally and dilute per their prescribed ratios.

Same here, though the HD "green" stuff is very good too, and the P21s Total Auto Wash is really something for a citrus-based APC.

HD TOTAL. It`s what I reach for al the time now. Safe on leather, cleans wheels, degreases engines and works excellent on fabric & all other interior components.

Hi everyone,

How does APC or APC+ differ from an all purpose cleaner like fabuloso or simple green or 409 that you can buy from Walmart?

APC+ is safe enough to use on leather, great on carpets, but good enough to cut through serious grease and even BMW brake dust. Very underrated product.

Thanks Dan

Don`t rule out LA Awesome as a good APC.

Awesome is a staple cleaner in my garage as well as around the house

I`ve been using the 3D Orange Degreaser for the past few months--strong when you need it at 4:1for wheels/wells and safe on paint and leather at 10:1 and you can`t beat the price.
