    It`s a decent APC. I found that Megs APC seems to work better for me. I have it mixed at 10:1 and 4:1 for dirty work.

    I use it. I use it for wheel wells primarily. I don`t want to stir up a whole debate wether APC is safe on paint, but CG says GR is not. So, I don`t use it on tires, because I don`t want it near my wheels. I`ve never tried it on tires, but it seems like a pretty strong APC. I buy it by the gallon. It does stain towels and the fumes will knock you off your feet if your messing with it indoors. It reminds me a bit of LA Awesome.

    Spot on post bud. I currently use GR the same way with a foaming sprayer. I use CG All Clean in a foaming sprayer to clean my tires.

    I purchased CG Grime Reaper for the same purpose. In my experience BF APC & OPC cleaned a lot better than Grime Reaper.

    I have been using CG signature series orange degreaser and it works very well, better IMO than signature series wheel cleaner.

    I use the orange degreaser for tires/wheels, and just a general APC always 1:5. I have not tried grime reaper.

    The orange degreaser is definitely stronger that CG all-clean. I like all-clean for interior use.

    I agree, it works good but the best APC an I swear by are these... (I have used alot of Apc`s, these do take the cake). These are all purpose for their environments.

    1Z Blitz Interior - Excellent interior cleaner, amazing smell an made for hypoallergenic skin.
    1Z W99 Exterior - Insanely powerful when mixed to 1:5. It`s my winter wheel cleaner. ~ Clean an engine with this an pair it with CG black on black... Customers go crazy EVERY time!

    Re: Cg grime reaper

    Iv`e used it but only in small proportions. Iv`e never used it on a vehicle, but mainly to soak/clean up dirty brushes, pads, applicators & such. With that being said it does a great job at what i`m using it for, other than that it really doesn`t have a spot in my vehicle detailing arsenal.

    My favorite APC`s tend to be the most expensive here lately. Had a bottle of Auto Finesse Citrus Power and it was pretty freaking awesome. Now I can`t find a 5L available anywhere . Also just got to try out P21S TAW and Optimum PC and loved both of them as well. I have become an APC junky lol.
