Best all purpose cleaners?
I use a variety of all purpose cleaners but looking other people's favorites. I like the simple green purple hd but the price continues to increase. The adam's product works well too but again isn't cheap. I use it all full strength for wheels, tires and under carriage so I go through it quickly.
Anyone found a great product for an economical price? Also do you dilute or use full strength. |

I am also a big fan of simple green. I don't use it much on my car, but I use it on everything around the house.

I use Adam's APC and have found cutting it 50/50 with water works just fine for tires and inner fenders.

Under the hood and exterior BH Surfex HD. There is no better APC out their.
Interior depends, Gtechniq W5, Nanolex Interior, Meg's 101, Polish Angel. I hate the smell of most APCs, the last thing I want is the cabin smelling like cleaner. If it needs something stronger then I'll use steam. |

Shine Supply Solution. 1-1 for engines/tires. $28 per gallon, so cost is 1/2 that after dilution.
For interior, CarPro inside. For a really dirty job, use full strength, dilute 1-1 for normal cleaning. I do also use a little Lusso Auto Bathe on the door plastics, this is more for the scent though! Both are biodegradable.

Adam's APC FTW. Not too harsh and works really well. ...I need to start diluting lol. I go through it fast, as well as the detail spray.

That's my issue with the Adams. It's not cheap and using full strength I burn through it fast. Maybe diluting is the answer I just don't want to lose the stellar cleaning ability.

ZEP 505 at your local Home Depot works fine and reasonably priced. The Adam's army in this forum is borderline sick...they make some good products...but not everything!
