Hey Mike,

I want to try Meguiar's APC+, I've heard nothing but good stuff about it. However, I have searched and searched and cannot seem to find the answer I am looking for. It says it's safe for interior surfaces (vinyl, plastic and such), is there a dilution rate at which it does not need to be followed with a rinse? Kind of like a "Spray & Wipe" application? I want to keep a bottle diluted for general interior cleaning.

Thanks,

I've never had any trouble with it on surfaces for cleaning the inside I use it 1/10. As far as a spray & wipe, it doesn't leave any protection behind so I wouldn't even begin to use it as a spray & wipe. I mean if your looking for a magic number for diluting it I don't know of one for your application just experiment with it when you get it and see what you like.

Thanks, I guess what I meant by spray & wipe was just to be able to spray it on, and wipe it off without a follow-up rinse. I know I'll have to apply a protectant afterwards. I was looking to be able to use it like the DP Interior Cleaner, for example.
 
Gotcha, Im sure it could be used for that purpose. I just don't know that exact magical number to give you. I've used it 1/20 ratio before and it worked great on the inside so start there. :xyxthumbs:
 
D10301 All Purpose Cleaner Plus
  • Designed to be low foaming for use in carpet and upholstery extraction machines.
  • Diluted at the same levels it's stronger than APC.
  • Lower cost per ounce compared to APC.

If you apply a dressing afterwards and wipe off the excess dressing, you will in effect wipe-off most of any leftover residue from the APC+ or any cleaner for that matter.

I keep APC+ in three concentrations.

20:1
10:1
4:1

Anything I can't get clean inside gets 20:1. If that doesn't work I move to 4:1. In only ONE detail have I ever used 4:1 inside. And that was for a very limited application. At 20:1 it's spray & wipe. At 10:1 it's perhaps a bit dicey as a spray & wipe, and I certainly wouldn't push my luck beyond that.
