    Favorite APC

    Im really thinking about maybe starting my own mobile detailing business. Im not fortunate enough to own a machine yet so it would just be ECOfriendly scratchproof washes and light swirl mark removal by hand polishing. Mainly to the people who like their car clean but dont want to scratch it uo at the car wash down the street. I really dont want to tote around or purchase a big water tank, so waterless would be my best option.

    Since thats not always going to work without first removing serious dirt build up I might need a good APC to help remove or desolve as much heavy particle as possible before hitting it with some WW or rinseless wash spray. I was wondering what your favorite APC? Or is APC even what I should be looking for?

    only APC I would use on my paint is Blackfire. But if the paint is really thrashed and needs a full correction I have used Megs APC+. But with the Blackfire you cant go wrong, I have used it on paint, leather, vinyl, tires, and even in the kitchen

    I was checking them out. Seems like a good deal for the 1gal. Since for business reason in bulk would be the best way to go with all my products. I cant really find any other APC for cars. I use Simple green, but that stuff is too strong and will strip your wax. I only use it when I plan on applying more wax. Looking for a better, safer option.

    An APC isn`t what you need. Just use a pressure washer and blast all the big dirt particles off. If they don`t come off, then use an APC.

    My favorite APC is OPC (optimum power clean)

    Poorboys APC, to me it`s perfect, plus it`s eco friendly and biodegradable...

    If I can get the client to meet me at certain locations I can use a pressure washer. but for the most part I wont be able to purchase one to carry with me.

    Optimum Power Clean or Meguiar`s All Purpose Cleaner Plus for me. I haven`t compared them side by side but they seem pretty close. So I guess the Meg`s gets the nod over OPC on cost. For bulk use it`s also nice that Meg`s comes in a 5 gallon size or get crazy and go all out with 55 gallon. lol

    55 gallons, lol if diluted every time that would never go out. I really dont want to carry a 55 gallon drum up stairs to get to my condo though... That would totally suck.

    I have APC+ and Blackfire. I have been using APC+ for a while and I like it a lot. I`ve only used Blackfire a few times but it`s really a good cleaner. If its for a business I would go with the most cost effective. You can`t go wrong with either one
