    Just got some of this stuff. At what dilution rates do you guys use this? I've read using it at 10:1 for all interior jobs, and 4:1 for engine and wheel wells.

    I even use it 20:1 on interiors sometime when it's a light duty clean up. Never used it on anything other than interiors sorry.

    Do you guys use 10:1 for the door jambs as well?

    10:1 for door jambs, 10:1 for engine too. 20:1 for interior, 10:1 for carpets.

    20:1 for interior sounds better.

    I use it 20:1 on leather, and 20:1 on all other interior surfaces. I always apply a good conditioner on the hides afterwards (Lexol, Mink Oil). I love the clean smell of this product.

    Not that Meguiars APC isn't a good product but would you consider Zep citrus to be a product that is a little superior to the Meguiars or should Meguiars APC keep its place in my supplies? I am always looking for a way to save a few bucks.

    been using that Megs APC for a while the green version anyways. Love the foaming action.

    I run it 10:1 most the time but you can try different ratios to see which one works best for you and the stuff you encounter. I'm guessing 15:1 or so.

    I'm in the same boat as you but i'll probably keep them both, I haven't picked up the Zep yet but i like MEgs APC it works great and it isn't super expensive in the mainland for you guys.

    I just hate having so many Gallon bottles in my garage, it is small enough as it is and with my little collection starting to build it is becoming a little overwhelming...maybe I need to build some type of rack for them and get them off the floor.
