What All Purpose Cleaners do you guys like to use and what dilutions do you make for each purpose?



I'm curious what you folks use for various tasks.
 
I like a 3:1 for Poorboys and EF Hi Intensity for all around work. Same for Sonus.



I haven't really experimented with too many different dilution ratios.
 
I recently started using Charlie's APC. Full strength for tough stuff and diluted 10:1 for others. Haven't used it enough to get a good feel for when is appropriate to use each strength, but overall I really like the soap.
 
Around here we have Dollar General Stores. They carry a APC called Mean Green. $5 gallon. (This stuff is mean!) I use a couple oz. in the wash with Microfiber Towels. Probably shouldn't. But this stuff will cut through wax and sealants like butter. I use it to clean Foam pads and then give them a VERY good rinsing.
 
HI-Temp Xtreme Clean. For most task such as tires, rocker panels, and wells, I dillute it 10 to 1. For interior surfaces, I dillute it 20 to 1.
 
my poorboy's APC gets diluted 3:1 for engine's, wheel wells, and undercarriage cleaning. 10:1 for interior carpeting. I use a 5:1 dilution for pads and bad towels. When I run out, my meguiar's APC will have the same dilution ratios.
 
Simple Green or Castrol Super Clean. I don't accurately dilute, but I guess it would be around 1:1 for most applications. But then again I only find myself using it to clean wheelwells and engine bay plastic, both which get dressed after drying anyways.
 
I use AutoMagic Triple Seven at the moment. 4:1 for wheels, wells, tires, tar and bugs, and tough grime on the interior and 10:1 for light interior cleaning and other light uses.

How do you like it? I got a gallon for $4.



The video on their site says you can use it on paint but doesn't give a dilution :furious:
