I'm sure this has been asked/answered before, but doing a quick search didn't get me anything.

Here's something else I wrote on this topic,

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.

D10101 All Purpose Cleaner

• More foaming which helps visually when cleaning carpets by hand and brush. It's important to note that in the detailing industry this is an important factor so a person can tell where they're working on a segment of carpet or upholstery.
• Fabric softeners and brighteners.
• Not as strong as APC+
• Higher cost per ounce compared to APC+

Hmm, if you had to use one or the other by hand, no ectractor, is normal Apc better, or will apc+ clean more? I want to order one or the other, at first I though APC+ was better in general and did all the cleaning, vinyl, upholstery, etcc a bit better than apc, am I wrong?

APC+ all the way.... I use it for everything from fender wells, tires, door panels and carpet! I use a 4 to 1 and a 10 to 1 ratio pretty much covers all my needs!!
