Product Review: Pinnacle Signature All Purpose Cleaner




Product Description / Claims:
Pinnacle Signature All Purpose Cleaner is safe and effective in real-world applications. Pinnacle Signature All Purpose Cleaner is concentrated so it can be diluted accordingly for any cleaning task at hand. Simply match the dilution strength you mix to the project you’re working on, spray, wipe and enjoy the results.
Pinnacle Signature All Purpose Cleaner is 100% safe on all surfaces when used at the correct dilution levels. Proprietary high-tech cleaning agents emulsify grease, oil, grime, dirt and other contaminants that are inhibiting the underlying surface from showing its true color or shine. Pinnacle Signature All Purpose Cleaner effectively cleans a multitude of different surfaces without staining or discoloring.
Pinnacle Signature All Purpose Cleaner can be mixed to your desired cleaning strength. For heavily soiled surfaces, use Pinnacle Signature All Purpose Cleaner at full strength. Dilute as necessary for other cleaning jobs, such as leather and upholstery.​

Directions:

Full strength – no dilution
You can use Pinnacle Signature All Purpose Cleaner straight out of the bottle without any diluting for your greasiest, grimiest jobs like engine cleaning. Mist product onto surface and allow to dwell for 30 to 45 seconds. Agitate with a brush to work cleaner into grime and dirt affected areas. Rinse area with a strong jet of water and repeat if needed.​

Diluted 1:5 = Heavy Duty Cleaning
Mix one part Pinnacle APC to 5 parts water for a powerful cleaning solution capable of tackling dirty, grimy projects. This is the ideal dilution ratio for safely cleaning wheels and tires. Mist the 1:5 dilution of Pinnacle Signature All Purpose Cleaner on to grime and dirt affected area and allow to penetrate for 30 to 45 seconds. Agitate with a brush to work cleaner into affected areas. Rinse away with a strong spray of water.​

Diluted 1:10 = Light Cleaning
When diluted at a 1:10 product-to-water ratio, Pinnacle Signature All Purpose Cleaner is perfect for light cleaning. The 1:10 solution cleans fender wells, door jambs, fuel doors, etc. At this dilution ratio, Pinnacle Signature All Purpose Cleaner even tackles food and pet stains on carpet and upholstery. It is even safe for use on leather and vinyl!​



Warnings or Precautions:
  • Keep out of reach of Children

  • Tires were rinsed off and dried.

Pros:
1. Cleans well
2. Decent Scent
3. Interior Safe



Cons:
1. Price is a little steep compared to other APC’s.



Questions:
1. What makes this APC better than some of the other cheaper APC’s like Meg’s D103?



Final Thought / Summary:
Pinnacle Signature All Purpose Cleaner effectively cleaned my tires @ a 5:1 dilution ratio. It has a nice orange scent that made working with it pleasant. I plan on doing some future testing side by side with my other current APC’s to see if the price difference can be justified.
 
Very interesting review...

I am looking forward to your future addition to this post when you compare it with other APC's.
 
Though I haven't done a formal head to head comparison, I prefer the Pinnacle and as it can be diluted a bit more and still perform. And I'm not sure the Optimum would clean carpets and leather as well - that I would like to compare. Also the smell of the Pinnacle (if that's important to you) is much less harsh. Both are excellent products & paint safe. With that said, if the Power Wash was on BOGO I would buy that.
 

Thanks guys.



Also, there is some good info posted above and I am in agreement with. Something to look at is the cleaning ability and dilution ratios needed to accomplish the level of cleaning. Based on that you may be surprised at the true cost per use of a product.
