Other uses for APC

[detailthis]

I just picked up the APC off the detailer line. Just wondering if there were some other uses for it. Like Wheels or wheel wells.

If not... could Safe-D degreaser be safe enough to use on wheels. I'm trying not to buy any products i don't have to. Thanks for any help.

APC can be used both for tire and wheel wells at the correct dilution level.

Would it be advisable to use a foaming trigger like this one



for using APC, instead of using a normal spray trigger .

I tried APC in a normal spray trigger, but that did did not seem to produce any foam and did not give the cleaning result I expected on engine bay and carpet cleaning.

When I shake bottle with the dilluted APC, a lot of foam is forming inside the bottle, thus gives me reason to believe, the foam would do the trick.

Please advise

[SiriusRIMZ]

For carpet cleaning, I like to use the widest angle possible on my sprayer and then agaitate the APC with a scrub brush, then rinse, then wet-vac as much water as you can out.

I use something with a bit more kick to it for engine bay cleaning. Safe D-Greaser or Super Degreaser are the products of choice, I still use my reliable ol Simple Grenn, and agitate it with either a toothbrush, or an ultra safe wheel spoke brush and the dress with Hyper Dressing.

Here's a good example, there were some spots I could not reach without bending some lines, so I left them be. This is HD at 3:1

Without trying to hijack this thread, i've found APC is also good at cleaning the shower curtain, bath tub & sink

And Super De-greaser is great for cleaning the cooker( especially when you pull it out from the wall and it looks like the people that lived there before you hadnt heard of soap)
