I was thinking about picking up some PRC,Hyper Dressing and a few others from the Meg's Detailer Line.

I don't know what apc would be best.
APC or APC+?

What car wash?

Wheel Brightener?


anything else you guys might recommend?

Hyper Dressing rocks!

PRC works well but has a learning curve. I personally like M66 better since it's so easy to use.

APC+ is what Mike Phillips seemed to suggest going with between the two. (APC+ is low foaming...APC is not)

Wheel brightener works well, just use caution with it.

Last Touch is a great detail spray and clay lube.

The D120 glass cleaner is by far the best I've ever used....and I've tried a lot of them.

what apc would be used for what? I most often use it for lower exterior panels, wheels, whels, quick shots in door jams, so really for paint, wheels, plastic. I sometimes use it for bad carpet areas.

I have too try PRC because I think it's more abrasive then 66? I think it would finish better on most beaters.

Wheel Brightener isn't safe on all wheels?

I have last touch and I love the stuff, S&W and LT are my fave spray products.

D120 how does it smell? Dilution ratios? I was going to try the nxt glass cleaner but can't find it locally? any ideas? I have been using IG and 20/20 for a while now.

I use APC on interior vinyl and some leather. I will use APC+ on carpet since it won't foam up. I also use it on tires, wheel wells, jambs, and engines.

If you have to pick just one to start with for your arsenal of detailing supplies, APC+ is going to be a better choice as long as you don't want or need the foaming characteristic.

I feel PRC is more effective at removing defects than M66 and it has the same SMAT abrasives as M105/M205. Pad choice and amount of pressure will vary the aggressiveness...M66 is just much easier to use. I have and still use both though.

Wheel Brightener is not safe for all wheels.

D120 smells like grape Kool-Aid and mixes 10:1. It cuts fast and evaporates quickly, which is great if you live in a humid area. I have yet to hear someone not like D120 once they've tried it.
 
I've been wavering on the D120 vs the Zep. The longer I waver the lower my supply gets. I'm going to have to make a move one way or the other soon.

Both products have their fans and neither seem to have any detractors.

I used Zep back around '96...can't really recall how well it worked though. I do know it didn't smell like grape Kool-Aid! :drool:
 
Ha! So I add to the balance scales...smell vs. drive time. HD is closer than the paint store or the Meg's distributor. Hmmm... What an enviable situation to find myself. :)

Almost forgot, the paint store also has the AutoMagic glass cleaner.
 
Mr. Clean, I am surprised why no one uses auto magic stuff on the boards. I used a few on there products, they work pretty well.


Is the PRC, like 205, with carnauba?


Could you go from 105, to PRC?

Some do, they just aren't talked about all that much. I've used their car wash soaps, and the 777 APC. IIRC, the Dress-It line used to get talked about a fair amount. And then there are lots of ClayMagic users.

The cut of PRC will be similar, but don't expect much it terms of durability. I believe it has a blended wax in it.

You should be able to follow up M105 with PRC just fine, but it will depend on the pad used with M105. I'd say as long as you didn't use anything more aggressive than an orange LC pad you will be fine.
