As title states, I'm trying to decide on an APC and am considering D101 or OPC. I would like to use the product for my engine bays, tires, undercarriage and probably interior occasionally.

Is one better than the other? I know Meg's is cheaper but if OPC is a safer all around product then it may be worth the price to me as I'm only using on personal vehicles.


Thanks,

Rick

I have both. Optimum PowerClean without a doubt. Vastly better. If you are in the Boston area, I'll give you ½gl of the Megs if you want. I won't be using it much. As a matter of fact, I just cleaned a wooden railing (after 20y of crud), OPC 1:3 took it all right off. the Megs didn't touch it.
 
If I was still working on my project in Waltham, I'd take you up on your offer.

It sounds like OPC works like a degreaser without being quite as harsh.

This should probably go in the 'samples' thread but the offer stands to most any Boston MetroWest AG freaks. Including samples of a wide range of product that I will never really use.
 
No, sorry. Opti Tire Gel, GTechniq T1, 303 tire balm (on sale @ AG right now for a smokin' price)

opc is good, i just started using the new wolfgang product thats pretty good also. Especially if you want saftey
 
I have both and idk why I bothered to purchase megs when I already had opc. Opc works great on so many different areas of the vehicle. Maybe my favorite product.

Which areas are “unsafe” to use D101 on? Where can you safely use OPC but not D101?

I used it once, very shortly during a tag team detail to scrub a black Mercedes Benz floormatt that had somekind of spill that needed to be scrubbed & cleaned.
I didn’t bring my APC and my partner only had OPC. I didn’t see anything special, in fact I felt like D101 @10:1 would’ve cleaned the matt faster.

1:10 and 1:4 (and I *may* have tried 1:1)
It also sorta got sudsy a bit at 1:4 and I didn't really care for the smell

OPC at 1:3

I only ever use D101 @10:1. I use it for all kind of stuff from carpet matts to wheel wells. I’m impressed by how effective it is at just 10:1.
I’ve tried mixing it @4:1 and IMO it just doesn’t feel right or work all that much better at that dilution + the smell gets to be unpleasant. I don’t ask D101 to work like a heavy duty degreaser or wheel cleaner, but it’s no slouch at heavy duty stuff even @10:1.
 
Well, I wouldn't have bought OPC if I was happy w/ D101 ;)

I now have more than enough of each to last me a loooong time.

Use what you like.

Maybe I'm wrong but by "safer all around" I thought the op was talking about the chemical being safer all around. As in less toxic. idk
