I originally got this in a 16oz. size but I loved it so much, that now I have the gallon!

Anyways, let's get to it! This is by far and away my favorite APC. I use it for everything from cleaning shoes to engines to tools! I even use it on pads, especially ones with glaze, sealant or wax in them. For the sake of this review I will focus on engines to simplify it and keep it from being overly long.
Example#1:
My personal 2004 Milano Red Acura TSX(My first car too since I'm only 17)
It had about 75,000 miles on it at this point(it was about march-ish of this year) and was rather gross for only 75,000 miles.
Before:

After(This was after dressing, but you get the point):

As you can see it did a fantastic job of cleaning everything! It had oil, road grime, dust, dirt, and a plethora of other junk, but not after! I used the AllClean+ at 10:1 as recommended by CG for heavy duty cleaning for this job(just like I always do since I use it exclusively for heavy duty exterior cleaning). I sprayed it on rather liberally, agitated with a few brushes, rinsed with garden hose, and then dried with landscaping blower and a few old towels. It left the surface perfectly prepped for dressing!
Example #2:
My dad's 2012 Chevy Avalanche
It had about 45,000 miles on it at the time, but a lot of them are highway miles so there is a lot of junk on it, or more accurately, there was a lot of junk on it. That's thanks to the awesome AllClean+!

That weird area is just where I messed up with the dressing^^

I was very impressed with this product overall. It does a great job of prepping tires for dressing, cleaning trim, engines, really nasty door jambs, etc... It is a great value(40X 32oz. bottles at the ratio I use from the gallon)at about $30, and it smells great. It's a citrus smell because it is a citrus based cleaner.
I highly recommend it to anyone:dblthumb2:
 
I still have my 16 oz bottle (that's almost out) from 2 years ago--this is a great APC!
 
Great review. I agree... it's one of the few CG products that works great, IMO. It's my go to APC! Can't beat the price either for a gallon.
 
I have been using it for over a year now and I like it very much. When the 16oz bottle is gone I am going to start using my Megs gallon and hopefully I am not sorry.

Thanks! I am a fan of CG personally and have had good experiences with their products and customer service. I'd like to step it up to some higher level stuff, but being 17 years old my budget is rather limited haha

Wow that's impressive! I used it so much my bottle only lasted about 8 months
 
Thanks for the write up. I have a few other CG products, but I was debating on pulling the trigger on some of this.
 
Is it better than the regular all clean which I like, did I get it right that 10:1 is for heavy cleaning? I use the other at 4:1 for heavy exterior stuff.

I have not tried the regular AllClean, but I would imagine AllClean+ is better since it's a newer formulation

Yes it is; I've used both. It dilutes further/is stronger (10:1 for exterior and 20:1 for interior).

WOW. Must be one heck of a APC. How does it fair on tires?

I've only used at 10:1 on tires--I just used it this past weekend on my wife's Firestones--it does a pretty good job if the tires aren't super filthy. Just note that it's not a dedicated tire cleaner, so it won't do quite as well as a Tuff Shiner/Mothers/etc. I'd place it a step below those products.
