When to use (and NOT use) an All Purpose Cleaner for Detailing | DIY Detail Podcast #56 

I envy these new detailers starting out...my advice is buy the DIY product line and listen to these two...Nick asks the right questions and is always willing to learn..Yvan is a master...I've been detailing for probably 25yrs and like so many detailers I have so many products...always wanting to try new products...I wish I was just starting out so I could only use the DIY line...LOL

Next topic-explanation of ph levels in soap and other cleaning chemicals 🤓

Great video. I am a convert and now use clean & protect on most of my interiors. Use rinseless on interior stuff as well. Love all clean for wheels, grimy door jams and stuff like that. Gonna use it on my really caked up grill!

Great video! All clean at 15:1 is an amazing cleaner and at that dilution is a great value. DIY Rinseless is amazing for everything! Makes quick work of interiors!

Haven't seen Nick in a video in a bit, glad he's back!!

Boom 💥 finally some say it again..... I say it all the time tell people I don't use degreaser on interior, it's not ment for interior, even they use it on leather.... on paint I hope some of those same people see this video and learn great video guys 💙

Great informative video. I’ve done a few complete interior cleanings using just rinseless. I can’t get over how effective both in efficiency and cleaning ability. It just works! It’s saving me so much time. I definitely notice the cleaning ability of your rinseless compared to the blue rinseless I had been using. Keep up the great work guys!

Great info using or not all clean, thanks.

I use rinsless on all my interiors. I grab an apc in some cases especially on foot peddles and in some cup holders depending on condition. Rinsless on a towel + a dry towel to wipe up and a brush to knock down some corners. Works great.

Love from India 🇮🇳 We love your videos

Mostly, I drink coffee in my car. I went to A & W as a kid, 1970s, and got car window service. That was fun! Root beer floats! Thank you for all your tips and wisdom. I use rinseless only on the outside and have started using it in my interior too.

There is a reason why I bought gallon sizes of All Clean, Rinseless, and Interior clean and protect. Rinseless does accomplish about 95% of what I do. All Clean always cleans wheels very well and it can be good for maintenance on coatings every three to six months. When I got back into detailing there was a ton of confusion between a degreaser and apc. Many detailers were using APC diluted 10:1 and them blaming everyone else when the interior plastics got destroyed and gauge clusters became so cloudy. Nick has not seen the movie Vacation where Clark puts the tray of food on the window at the drive in.

Love your products and content! Any plans for DIY DETAIL shirts and hoodies in the near future?

I got your all clean product gonna try it tomorrow,smells like extra tough cleaner to me

For leather seats, will clean and protect be enough to keep them protected or do you recommend a stronger protectant? Enjoy the videos.

Great explanation of an APC! Could you also address if you ever need to use de-ionized water to wash your car? Seems like there is a lot of hype out there about it.

Awesome knowledge great video.... Hey guys is Interior & Protect in a gallon size "Dilutable" ??

Just bought a gallon of allclean and wish I would have bought - interior clean and protect for inside. Hope all-clean has a long shelf life. Still love these videos. Keep up the great work!

With current cold weather and salt grit on the roads, is it safe to use APC 1:15 on weekly basis as prewash ? Or best every other wash ? Car is coated and well looked after 😃 🙏🏻

When you clean your LC pad washer, do you use all clean at 15:1 or 30:1? I've typically just cleaned mine with a bit of rinseless wash, but it probably wouldn't hurt to do a deeper cleaning of it every once in a while. I believe I've heard you mention that you use all clean to clean it.

I don't use a ton of APC, but I'm definitely planning to pick up some All Clean. Only problem is that I still have a gallon of Optimum Power Clean to go though. Question for Yvan: What dilution of Power Clean is equivalent to All Clean at 15:1? And how do the two products compare?

Great video! Please let me know what the difference is between a dedicated tire cleaner and a dedicated wheel cleaner compared to All Clean.

How well does the apc work on a dirty chassis? And what dilution would you recommend?

In the UK we use a lot of citrus pre cleaners in the similar way you use All Clean when the car is very dirty on the lower panels and for bugs. Are they more powerful than an APC or just different chemistry for same results?

Own a 2015 Lexus RX 350 in Safire Pearl. Have been using Meguiars Hybrid Ceramic & Wax. I’m wanting to give a new base coat. The paint still looks good so I wasn’t planning on claying the surface. Looking at doing an APC spray & rinse off, followed by Adam’s Iron remover. Finishing with Meguiars Gold Class contact wash, before reapplying the hybrid coating. Am I over thinking this & is it necessary to strip back the existing coating? What are your thoughts.

Yes

Thanks for all the information. Will it be an issue if I foamed the whole exterior and it starts to dry on the paint surface after a certain amount of time?

Hi Nick and Yvan. I watched a video where someone sprayed down leather seats with plant based all purpose cleaner followed by wiping with ONR dilluted according to manufacturer specs. Is this a safe method on 12 year old unripped leather seats? Thanks.

I love A&W, there is one in my state.

Hello, is the DIY Detail 16oz bottle we buy, already diluted at 1:15 and ready to pour in IK foamer? Or we have to dilute the content of the bottle at 1:15 and pour it inside IK foamer? How about the gallon size? Thanks

All clean is out of stock! Looking forward to getting this when it is available.

I get work trucks and ranch vehicles that are nasty with dirt and grease. Would interior clean and protect cut it?. I feel like I have to use a strong apc and even degreaser on some of those kinds of interiors

If I add the 16oz 15:1 ratio to my foam cannon for wheels/tires how much product do I add to the cannon? How much water? Want a good foam that cleans well with all clean. Thanks!

Ivan, do you have a mix ratio chart for your products that can be diluted?

Would you use some thing to protect leather after cleaning with rinseless or interior and protect if at all?

What about traffic film removers? Are they a different category? Any suggesions?

How do I dilute the 1 gallon of All Clean to be used in a IK Foam Sprayer? How many Cap fulls of 1 Gallon All Clean do I add to the IK Foam Sprayer and how much water?

hmmmm seems like I will have to try interior clean & protect ;)

1. Is it ok to keep All Clean kept in a big IK Foamer in the long term without cleaning it out after each car wash? If so, how long will All clean last stored like that?

Great video and information as always. Any plans to release any hats or more shirts? I wear your shirt all the time to help promote you guys and would love more options. Also, how about a cool looking bucket for sale?

Can you use All Clean with drill brush to clean dirty cloth seats? If so what dilution ratio?

When are you guys stocking up with all purpose interior towels im delaying my order to save on shipping

hello sir I need your advise on what to do .i did a ceramic coating for one of my customers after about twelve hrs he took the car home and one a daily basis he comes back with muddy car since I can't use any chemical on the newly coated paint I have been used only water to clean up the car .i hope that will not reduce the power of the coating before it fully cured

APC same 15:1 dilution safe on clear coat and tires/engine bays?

Is it okay to use a degreaser on wheels and tires? I’ve been using superclean and love it.

Also quick question when stripping wax or old protection for a new protection i read somewhere incredible suds with AC? Is there any dilutions for that thanks.

What dilution would you recommend of all clean on a foam cannon? I want to use it for wheels and tires and have a foam cannon set aside just for this and this will be so efficient

What do you guys use for tar ?

can the All Purpose Clean able to remove overspray paint on to side mirrors? thanks in advance, and more power to your channel

Is all clean safe on car paint amd ceramic coatings? If yes what the dilution ration

So i purchased the 16oz bottle and my question is, do I dilute it or it’s just ready to use?

Hi Guy does your all clean come pre diluted in different sizes for DIY?

Any plans to offer other sizes for the of version that can be diluted? Maybe a 32oz bottle?

Interesting. So the 16oz sprayer you sell is 100% cleaner? Not diluted 15-1?

How long will the All Clean keep? I have the small bottle, but just thinking it would be better to get the larger one considering it's not a mix between water and the All Clean.

Does all clean leave any residue when diluted and used for interior use??

Hi , what is de ph of interior clean and protect ? Thx 😉

So use rinseless was in place of an interior cleaner?

Good morning! Can we add half an oz of all clean and half an oz of incredible suds in a foam cannon? It's for when the car is dirtier than usual or is really dirty. Also, to substitute a higher ph soap.

Can you buy the RTU 16oz bottle and add an addition 15 oz of water to get the 30:1 dilution recommended for interiors? I don’t use a ton of APC so not quite ready to make the leap into a lifetime gallon 😅

Please tell me what OEM stands for guys !!!

Can the all clean be sprayed using the IK ALK 9 and get same results?

Hi guys! Planning to clean engine bay with All Clean. Does it need to be rinsed with water? Or is wiping down sufficient?

Can you use all clean on the grease gas’s stoves.

Is All Clean a good substitute for other brands that have high pH soaps?

Does APC remove ceramic coating from wheels?

Does interior clean and protect have a UV protection in it?

What's the best way to remove bugs and tar??...

Rineless wash and putting allclean on areas with bugs, how long can I let it dwell on a painted surface?

Bonjour, le all clean en format 16 oz ready to use est dillué a quel ratio? 15/1 ou 30/1? Est ce que vous avez une petite bouteille concentré car le gallon est gros pour mes besoin? Merci

Is all clean in the spray botltle already diluted?

Can I use DIY Detail All Clean on my black trim?

Do you have a waterless wash yet?

do you guys endorse All Clean for bug removal?

Any estimate on when all clean will be back in stock?

Can you use All Clean on engine bays using the same dilution ratio 15:1?

So for Ceramic Coated cars, this product wouldn't be recommended on a regular basis? Just on serious situations where your car if beyond dirty needs to get get a serious deep clean, right? All clean would deteriorate the ceramic.

Does All Clean strip things like wax, quick beads, ceramic gloss

next video. .."all the degreasers you must have in your detail arsenal" 😅 degreasers breakdown organics too and many bug removers have the same ingredients. lots of products have degreasers in it people don't know about., just use proper dilution and safe practices whatever you're using. I use superclean diluted 20 to 1 on filthy interiors to clean. it cleans way better than any dedicated "interior cleaner from major detailing product mfgs and out costs 9$ a gallon diluted makes 10 20 50 gallons ..so to reach their own. do what you want that gets the job done quickly without damage. that's all that matters. great videos 👍

Would all clean damage your perforated synthetic decontamination towel

Is Super Clean an APC or degreaser or both?

Which one of your brushes is good for upholstery and one for floor mats? Also, can all clean diluted 1:30 work on car upholstery seats and leather?? Thanks.

Im taking that All Clean should do away with a dedicated tire amd mat cleaner

All clean is alkaline. When do we use acidic products?

Can I use All Clean straight in a foam cannon

super clean is a degreaser and cleaner. it says so on it though so maybe that's why so many use it . not sure.

How we can buy your products in india ?

can I use all purpose cleaner for interior cleaning

how about windows? I tend to get this residue that is impossible to see without light hitting it.. whenever I try to clean it with any window cleaner it doesn't come off it just smears and it does look clean until I drive and the sun shines the window or the street lights shine on it then its very visible.. drives me crazy cause I always think its clean but its really not

I love it, “never”, LOL

What’s worse, a touchless car wash with “ceramic” or a brush car wash?

Yes listen people! Their product they know the correct dilution ratios.

The interiors I usually do require metal scrapers, hot steam ,3/1 apc and gas mask. Bazookas all the way baby.

Why can't 30 to 1 be a good option. I was thinkin that the whole time until he said something about it

Nick seems he’s on something 😂

Hi Guys.. I recently installed your Graphene coating on my mustang, and am in love with the way it makes the car look.. I would like to know what Over the counter car wash shampoo is best to use for washes? ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-fgaJFF0K_mE.html
