All Multi Purpose Cleaner?

[Christophe]

Cant decide which to get.

Meguiars apc or G101? One better than the other?

 

[Gally]

Don't knock it till you've tried it!

G101 is my fave tbh mate. Much less expensive compared with Megs.

 

[richy22]

Daisy baby

Still think Megs APC is good though. G101?? Where can I get that from? I4? CYC?

 

[koi]

I got some Daisy apc as well after everyone on dw started raving on about it

 

[Ali]

G101, direct from Autosmart franchise! Ignore the middle men in this case.

Bear in mind 101 is a good bit stronger than APC.

 

[Gally]

Yeah needs well diluted but lasts longer and a lot more for your money!

Love using it on engine bays!

It's cheaper for me and Ali as we buy straight from the man himself.

If you can find your local distibutor i'm sure he'll hook you up.

Hi!

 

[JD]

Lol Rich. I need some APC, but thinking I might just give this stuff a go :S

Is the daisy crap from any local super marche?

 

[richy22]

Tesco Jamie down the bog roll isle (in mine anyway)

 

[Curley]

Tesco Jamie down the bog roll isle (in mine anyway)

Kitchen supplies isle for me. (if that makes sense)

 

[JD]

Cheers boys.

 

[richy22]

Kitchen supplies/bog roll crap... they seem to change the aisle's at mine every funking week! Maybe its a game? I like games . But not ones that make me walk around the shop 3 times to find what im looking for.

Oh and on a side note I hate shopping in a store I dont go to much..say Ipswich...everything is in a different place and we spend a weekend looking for stuff Bad Tesco/Sainsbury's etc

 

[Tay]

What ratio do you guys dilute your supermarche products down to ? and its main uses? arches, wheels & lower panels ?

Cheers

 

[richy22]

I did mine at 4-1 I think (top mark on the APC bottle) and used it on arches and wheels.

 

[Ali]

Hi!

LOL!! Love it! TBH it's probably the same s**t! Can't see the swissvax boys using it. OR maybe they do and just put another lable on it! ha!

Re. Above - E-mail Autosmart and get the contact details for your local rep! There will be one for sure.

 

[Coby.]

I am in desperate need of some APC so may just pop in to Tesco's Today..... Safe enough to use on paintwork isn't it? Got a fair amount of grime around the Badges on the boot

 

[richy22]

Daisy is safe yeah.. just be carefull of the dilution rates. I went for a weaker one as I didnt know how strong it would be

 

[Coby.]

Yeah I need to buy some more Spray Bottles I think for all the different products I have that need diluting

 

[Ali]

It's not acid! You could apply it neat and still not damage the paint! It's remove all the wax tho!

 

[Coby.]

Yeah thought as much but just double checking...... Need to get one of those Brushes you used for your Bonnet Shuts etc. Ali, What brush was it again?

 

[ChemGuyUK]

if it make u feel any better.....

 

[JD]

Haha, nice edit Stephen!

Andy, I use one of the Megs Side Lock brushes for shuts etc.

 

[Coby.]

Ah that was it... Looks like very handy Brush to own.... Another for my Growing list again

 

[JD]

Yeah it is very useful fella. It is great when dry to get rid of polishing dust in cracks as well. I must confess to owning two, one dry, one for liquids etc.

 

[Ali]

LOL @ the swissvax logo!

Brush was the Megz sidelock. Paintbrush would suffice.

 

[Coby.]

I have a Couple of Cheap Detailing Brushes but they are quite Short Bristled and the Sidelock looks like a handy brush to have around.

 

[JD]

As Ali has said, Andy, you might find that somewhere like B&Q will have something that is just as good. Think Halfrauds also sell the Megs brush.

 

[Coby.]

I'll take a look around when I'm in the mood for Buying Car Cleaning Gear

 

[Coby.]

Picked myself up some daisy while I was in Tesco's so will give it a whirl next time I clean the car

Tried this yet fella?

 

[Darren]

bought the daisy one in tesco last night. will try it out at the weekend.

 

[richy22]

Tis very good stuff actually Might not foam up as much as the Megs stuff though.

 

[shadowsun]

will daisy (LOL) work on my shitty seatbelts?

 

[richy22]

Should do. I used it on my rear ones and it got some weird wet stain out of them

 

[shadowsun]

Cool dude, I'll go sharrrrrrpan and get some. My seatbelts look like someone wiped their ass on them lol

 

[Ex-User (19928)]

Brake cleaner. It's good for anything.

 

[richy22]

Cool dude, I'll go sharrrrrrpan and get some. My seatbelts look like someone wiped their ass on them lol

Thats the stain I had... I think someone may have actually done that!

I stumbled upon this thread while searching for some detailing advice. I'm a bit of a relative novice when it comes to serious detailing. I've just stuck with Autoglym SRP all my motoring life.

With the nice weather coming up this week, I'm about to embark on a lengthy session minting the car up. I've just bought the Meguiars 3 stage solution jobby. Never used it before so going to give it a try.

Never, ever thought about using multi purpose cleaner on the car until I saw this thread. To be honest I wouldn't know what to use it on. Although, as already mentioned above, my grey seatbelts on my 182 are a right mess!
