Best All-Purpose Cleaner (APC)

All-purpose cleaner is the workhorse of detailing — diluted weak, it cleans door jambs, dashboards, and floor mats; diluted strong, it cuts through engine bay grease and stubborn wheel-well grime. Reach for one any time you need more than a quick detailer but less than a dedicated degreaser. Buy a concentrate and dilute it yourself (a 10:1 ratio for interiors, 4:1 for engine bays, 1:1 for tires) — pre-mixed APC is paying for water. Pair with a few labeled spray bottles, an upholstery brush, and a stack of microfibers.
