What is a good OTC APC? I seem to read that Megs D103 is great, but can't get it anymore. So...what are people using now?
 
Meguiars d101, ZEP Citrus Heavy-Duty Degreaser, and lastly purple power
 
I guess we can scratch this question, my local Orileys called me back and said Megs D10301 is available for them to still get. $19.00 and $1.25 shipping. They have to get 6 so they will have 5 more on the shelf at the same price. They said it will take a couple weeks to get though, but seeing I didn't need it before then anyway I should be good.
 
Without question, the best most effective all purpose cleaner I've purchased locally, Lowe's, is Greased Lightening

Dollar tree or Dollar General. You can dilute it down too.

Have you ever tried the Grease Lightning in the white bottle since the formula has change and if so is there any noticeable different?
 
+1 on Purple Power. Use it for everything, cars, laundry, scrubbing out the litter boxes. Stuff just works. $13 for 2.5 gallons at Advanced Auto Parts
 
Very interesting..local OTC APC
then question is if there's any advantages to buy boutique APC like Einszett APC or Optimum APC or Wolfgang APC?

Honestly I haven't and didn't know there was another flavor. As far as I know, Lowe's carries only the yellow bottle so it's what we've been using around the house...

Most of the all purpose cleaners offered through Autogeek are in a concentrated form, which means in most cases they can / should be diluted before using.

By diluting the product it "tames" its aggressiveness allowing it to be used on interiors and other areas that could be damaged by a product full strength. Diluting also increases the amount of usable product thus reducing the cost making it very attractive price wise. :props:

Greased Lightening is meant to me used directly from the bottle..

Yep, no need in spending tons on those small bottles miracle wander cleaners.
 
How does Greased Lightening work under the hood compared to Spray Nine? Spray Nine just seems to break up just about anything. I will even use it in interiors because of it's disinfecting powers.

Hey Kevin,

I'm not sure because I haven't compared the two. I for one would be very interested if you'd be kind enough to evaluate! :props:

Where do you buy Spray Nine?
 
Spray Nine is available in most stores that offer cleaning supplies up here in Canada. I am interested in comparison between these two and a product called TKO Orange. At this time it is -35 degrees Celsius where I live so will look into this closer to spring/ summer. I am getting quite tired of extended winter this year.
 
I like the Simple Green HD which is colored purple BTW. Cleans my wheel wells better than all else I've used.
For interiors nothing beats Ultima Interior Shampoo Gel IME. I wont try anything else on interiors.
 
Why did Meguiar's get rid of the D103 APC?

From what I have seen they didn't they just did in the gallon size. Call around to places you may just find it. I don't have it yet so can't be 100%, but my local ORilieys said they can get it for me. I was wrong on the price I posted earlier. They are charging me $14.00 and $1.25 for shipping for a gallon of the Megs
