I am looking for a good all around cleaner for engines, fender wells, inside on the dash/doors, etc... Basically everything. I was thinking about getting a gallon of the All Purpose Cleaner Plus with the spray bottle and sprayer.. Would this stuff do what Im wanting?



If I get the All Purpose Cleaner Plus bottle, which sprayer should I get? There is a white one(Standard Sprayer) and a gray one(Chemical Resistant Sprayer)..



Thanks a bunch. :)



Edit: Whats the best ratio for everything? Engine, carpet, fender wells. Can you use this stuff on the rims?
 
I use only Meg's APC (not plus). Plus, I believe, is designed for extractors. I love it. Really versatile stuff and very concentrated making it an extremely good deal.



Ratio:

10:1

General cleaning. Vinyl, leather, and carpets. I also use it on convertible tops. Plastic door sills are easily cleaned with this ratio as well.



Note:

Has optical brighteners that really make the carpets soft, clean, and smell great.



4:1

Tires, engines, and wells at this ratio. I use it too for bug pretreatment along with the lower panels. Has never damages any paint or clear.
 
Thanks a bunch justin.. Im ordering it ask we speak.. :xyxthumbs



You say the plus is good in an extractor. Wonder how it would work in a little green machine?



Also, whats the best way to figure up ratios?

I'm on my laptop too.......gotta love wireless internet!!!!



Well, if you get the Meguiar's Detailers Line bottles, they will have the ratios on the bottle.



Here is where you can get really good deals on this line.......

Auto Detailing Supplies



They have bottles to match all of their cleaners as well as all the Meguiar's products in the universe!
 
Yup, thats where I ordered them from!



I got two APC plus bottles and one Chemical resistant sprayer. Ive got a cap that fits one of those bottles that came with my ASD bottle when I got it. That way I can have one that is always 4:1 and one that is 10:1.. :woohoo:

yup... Ive never seen any complaints about it.. Is there something I dont know? :confused:



I didnt really see a difference between the two.. The plus seems to be more versatile too.. :)
 
I just went through the APC vs. APC+ myself. I wound up grabbing a gallon of each actually, haha.



Originally I grabbed a gallon of APC+ with a gift card from Christmas to ADS...I planned on using it at 10:1 for carpets with my little green machine, and for general interior cleaning, like the dash, door panels, etc. And at 4:1 for wheels, tires, wheel wells, and engine cleaning.



I wound up selling my original car after my products were picked out, and my Matrix XRS was gone, and my new 02 Mustang GT was here...with leather. So I did another order from ADS, grabbing a gallon of Meg's Leather Cleaner/Conditioner, and at the recomendation of the owner, grabbed a gallon of regular APC for cleaning the leather first. He said as a general rule of thumb, APC for interior, APC+ for exterior.



A lot of people use APC+ for extractors because it's low foaming. I don't actually use the cleaner in the LGM, but spray it on the carpets, work it in with a Meguiar's interior brush, and extract it with the LGM and go over it with water. If you were actually using the cleaner in the extractor, APC+ would be the way to go, but I think normal APC is better for spraying on, since it foams and brings the dirt to the top for easy extraction.



So, that's my two cents on the topic, haha...grab both ;) If you already grabbed the APC+, it'll be absolutly fine, it just doesn't foam.
 
Thanks for the replies guys..



I just noticed that I put this in the detailing section and not the products section.. I was wondering why I couldnt find it in the products section. Sry about that. :xyxthumbs
 
I use the foaming sprayer for APC+ that I cut to 10:1 for interior. I usually find myself spraying it onto my microfiber and then wiping, otherwise if I spray it directly I'll not only get a bunch of overspray, but if I spray it onto something leather, the material becomes "blotchy". So for me, I've found it to be easier and the surfaces look cleaner more evenly when I just wipe it down instead of spraying it on. The foaming sprayer never worked as well as I hoped it would. It seems to "dribble" a lot. I wish I had just gotten a regular-type sprayer.
 
i have had no problem cleaning the entire interior of cars with APC+ mixed 4:1, 5:1....no blotchy spots, just really clean and effortless cleaning! Spray it one, wipe it off right away, all the dirt comes off with it! I used it on spots where I thought I was only going to remove the stain 1/2 way and after I was doen, it was 95% gone, just the middle darkness was left...



I LOVE THIS APC+
