Is there some reason WHY? I would want to use the Total Interior Cleaner instead of the High Intensity APC for interior cleaning duties? It looks like if I dilute the APC it is safe for, and will work well for the interior while still offering the ability for a heavier APC for other uses sounds like a win win to me What says the experts.
McKees 37 High Intensity APC or McKees 37 Total Interior Cleaner?

While I do like McKees Interior Cleaner you get a lot more bang for your buck and honestly better cleaning with Meguiar's APC diluted or that McKees APC if you want. I truly have been very very impressed with Meguiar's APC and Meguiar's Quick Detailer for my interior detailing needs.

You nailed it. Hi-Intensity APC+ at 10:1 can clean everything including carpet, leather, and clear plastic gauges. Honestly, although not the best option, you could probably even use that dilution to get streak free windows. I use 10:1 paired with a magic eraser on painted surfaces to remove paint transfer prior to polishing. I also use it to clean wheels. All at the 10:1 dilution. I stopped mixing it at stronger dilutions because I use D108 Super Degreaser at 4:1 for Tires, wheel wells, and engine bays.
If you are looking for a cleaner for your personal vehicle that is truly safer than McKee's High Intensity APC+ then I'd HIGHLY recommend Blackfires Interior Cleaner. It is expensive but you could probably use it to wash your hands without it ever burning or drying them out. I could never justify having Mckee's Interior Cleaner as well as APC+ but Blackfire's interior cleaner is truly the safest/highest quality interior cleaner on the market and if I was an enthusiast it would be the only cleaner that would touch my interior.

Thanks for the advice guys, I included some Blackfire Interior Cleaner in my order this evening, is it a proper product for clear plastic gauges and display screen surfaces too? I am kind of a specific tool, or solution for a problem type of Guy not an AIO does it all type.
So mwoywod the McKee's high intensity would be good for many things but just could be a little harsh on the interior I take it? What you reccomend that I could use to prep exterior plastics ( grill, bed rail top, spoiler, headlights etc.) prior to application of DLux on my brand new Chevrolet Colorado an IPA dilution wipe down?

37 High Intensity APC is what I mainly use for all interior surfaces but only at 10:1. I aways start with the speedo cluster and radio/nav center and a soft microfiber, flipping to a new side often. I used to use ONR for them.
It doesn't leave streaks on glossy plastics and does work well on glass. It does foam a little much, even at 10:1.
If I need a stronger cleaner for the rest of the areas, I'll use my citrus solvent cleaner which does streak if I don't follow it up with a wipe on glossy plastic.

I only use the McKee's total interior cleaner. I like the idea of a product that I know is truly safe for all interior surfaces. Not to say APC can't be but if it too strong of a dilution I hate to find out the hard way. I will use APC on stubborn areas when needed but the total interior has served me great all season long this year.
