What is an APC?

An all-purpose cleaner (often referred to as APC) is a multipurpose cleaner that can be used on several types of surfaces.

It is one of the most common products used by Valeters & Detailers due to it's versatility.

The ingredients in them vary, but in general, they are mild to medium strength degreasers. They are not as strong as or effective as dedicated surface cleaners but they are stronger than shampoo, partly because of the way they work.

An APC is designed to remove the most common types of dirt as best it can, even if it has an effect on the protective layer. Depending on if it's Ready To Use or concentrated formula, APC's can be used on both paintwork, all exterior surfaces as well as interior - with that said make sure to follow recommended dilution and guidelines of the manufacturer before use
