Best APC?

OPC here. I have it in 3:1 and also 10:1. I find that 10:1 performs very well too for interiors. Any tough spots get the 3:1 treatment.
 
I have been using 3D Orange 88 Citrus Degreaser and OPC.

I bought a gallon of both at the same time and just got another gallon of the 3D because I love using it so much. I reserve the OPC for for fairly clean interiors where I know I won't use as much of it.

Orange 88 has the same price per gallon a D101 and the same dilution ratios. It's almost half the cost of DP High Intensity APC, and more so for OPC.

I use it just about everywhere in one dilution or another. Basically 3:1 on exterior surfaces, and 10:1 on interiors. 3:1 for spot treating heavily soiled areas on interiors. On interiors, I do follow it up with a water wipe down. It's a great tire, wheel, and wheel well cleaner. Light tar remover. Excellent degreaser. Bug remover. Use it full strength to remove pen, marker, or make up. If it looks obviously dirty, it gets Orange 88.

I do not use it on or around dashes, speedo clusters, and center consoles/infotainment pieces just to be safe. Mostly use ONR for those.
 
Thanks everyone! Missed the sale this week so I am waiting for the next! But I think I am going to try the Megs. Cheaper and great reviews. Will let you know how it turns out!

I find that Meg's Super Degreaser works better for me, even at 4:1 or 5:1 on tires. Also use it on inner fenders, engines, and rather dirty interiors.

Really?

I find this product almost useless. I'd rather use LA Totally Awesome. Of course, if I'm stripping a tire I'll use Tuff Shine Tire Cleaner - which beats them all.
 
Industrial cleaners and APCs at high concentrations should never be used on tires. Do they clean? Oh yeah. Are they harming the tire? Oh yeah.
 
All I've been doing lately is spraying 114 on the tires and wiping them off. They might not be clean but they look good
 
Have you tried Adam's APC? That's what I use and I really like it. I've also used the HD brand, but Adam's seems to work better for me.
