Difference between APC and APC+ ?

[jooccord]

Hi all,

I can't seem to find any comparison with the search button, so I'm posting a topic.

APC and APC+ seem to have the same suggested dilution ratio of 1:4~1:10
And with almost identical names, I can't seem to separate them in terms of functionality.

Anybody pls help!
thank you!

i believe APC Plus is better for cleaning carpets and/or upholstery because its less foaming, But they both are pretty similar products


perhaps someone else can explain this a little better than i can

That's basically it.

The original APC is a fantastic all purpose cleaner, but it foams up a little bit (sometimes it helps) and when you use it with a hot water extractor it created issues.

APC+ is the answer to that issue. I use them both on every detail I do. They are pretty interchangeable when you aren't using an extractor IMO.

Meguiar's All Purpose Cleaners in our Professional Detailer Line



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.

Limited Distribution








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+

32 ounces




If you have to pick just one to start with for your arsenal of detailing supplies, APC+ is going to be a better choice as long as you don't want or need the foaming characteristic.

Be sure that when you're ordering either of these to all purpose cleaners to also order the matching OSHA approved pre-labeled spray bottles and the appropriate spray heads.

A good general purpose spray head is our chemical resistant spray head as it will resist wear and breakdown associated with most cleaning solutions and degreasers. It's still a good idea to remove these and run some water through them, working the spray to flush out the internal components after use if you don't plan on using them immediately the next day or so just as a good practice.
