Poorboy`s APC

Steve -

First and foremost thanks!

Secondly, I was hoping to get some common dilution rates and their uses for the APC&D.

Thanks.

I`ve been using it for a few years now..

For general cleaning I mix it 1 part APC to 10 parts water.

Wheel wells and such where I need real cleaning power. 1 part to 4 parts water.

To date I`ve never had to use it straight.

Hope that helps!

You are welcome Jared ... dilution rates should be on the back of the label I usually use it at 15:1 for most applications.

Maybe I am missing something, but I didn`t see anything about dilution rates.

I was going to try it out for the following areas:

1) Tires
2) Wheel wells & Undercarriage
3) Leather (cleaning)
4) Engine bay

Anyone with experience/tips/suggestions please feel free to chime in.

For Tires, engines and wheel wells its great, for those areas I use the stronger mixture. I tend to not like using any APC on leather. I`ve had some bad results in the passed. Maybe Steve can lend a note here.

I also use my dilution ratios much stronger than Steve, I guess this is something that you have to play with to find what works best for you

I guess there are still a few bottles circulating with the old label

Here`s a picture from my bottle

Yes, there is not exact dilution that is right

[JaredPointer]

I must have the old label. Thanks for posting that photograph, sir.

no problem, the factory was told to use up the older labels

How does it smell? (for the purposes of using it on the interior)

Its not the chemical smell more of soap than anything to me. I would not spray any APC in a small area, but its not like 409 or anything like those.

Doesn`t really have a smell of note IMO. Definitely not strong - maybe a faint aroma of something citrusy...

126:2 for windows??? Why not say 63:1? Ya think people would be more likely to mix up a gallon of solution than a half gallon? (seeing as how you`ve got it at a pretty handy ratio for ounces to make a gallon)

I have more empty gallon bottles around than 1/2 gallons

btw what comes in 1/2 gallon sizes other than milk or juice

Well, people may well have just such jugs in their very own home/recycling bin. Would be handy, no?

And a gallon of glass cleaner goes a loooong way, unless you`ve got a business or OCD.

Anyway, teachers and students that paid attention in class should know that you reduce ratios/fractions to their lowest terms. Right, sir?
