Default Whats a good APC (dumb question)

Keep seeing APC (worked out it means all purpose cleaner) mentioned on engine threads and for doing door shuts.

Going to detail the car next weekend to correct all the micro marring that got put in it by the dealer and when someone used my car as a seat..

Might as well do a proper job on this 1 as its 7 weeks old.



Hoping it doesn't mean another order to Clark and Rob. I've had the car 7 weeks, and already put 3 orders in to them Blackfire does look good though

Depens what you want to use it for?

For arches,seals etc I use Tesco "DAISY" to a 10:1 ratio. If I need to do anything on the doors or paints work I use Mega APC.

Having said that I cannot recall the last time I washed my car? lol

Meguiars APC is a good all rounder and very cost effective too; see here...

Meguiars All Purpose Cleaner - Meguiars Car Care and Detailing Products

Meguiars will tell you it's an interior only product, but the fact is it works well for all sorts of general cleaning tasks, including arches, wheels, engine bay, etc, and when we launch our new website the description will be amended to reflect this.
