Description

ADBL APC is a concentrated all-purpose cleaner for tackling dirt and grime across a wide range of interior and exterior vehicle surfaces.

Its versatile formula penetrates contamination and separates it from the surface, while special additives help keep loosened dirt suspended in the cleaning solution so that it can be more easily wiped or rinsed away.

Because ADBL APC is concentrated, you can also adjust its cleaning strength according to the job at hand – from stronger solutions for stubborn contamination to highly diluted mixtures for lighter cleaning.

Perfect if…

• You don’t want a separate cleaner for every detailing job – ADBL APC can tackle a wide range of interior and exterior cleaning tasks.
• Some areas of your car need considerably more cleaning power than others – simply adjust the dilution according to the level of contamination.
• Your exterior plastics, engine-bay components or other detailing areas have accumulated stubborn grime – stronger APC solutions give you additional cleaning power when required.
• You want an economical product for regular detailing – because it’s concentrated, one bottle can produce considerably more ready-to-use cleaning solution.
• You regularly clean more than one vehicle – adjustable dilution makes APC particularly useful for enthusiasts and professional detailers who encounter different levels of contamination.
• You want a general-purpose cleaner to keep in your detailing arsenal – APC is one of those products that can cover numerous cleaning jobs without unnecessarily complicating your product collection.

Why choose ADBL APC?

• Highly versatile – designed for cleaning surfaces both inside and outside the vehicle.
• Concentrated formula – dilute according to the cleaning power required.
• Wide dilution range – ADBL recommends anything from 1:4 for heavy dirt to 1:80 for light soiling.
• 1:10 general-purpose dilution – ADBL identifies this as a useful standard mixture capable of handling most contamination.
• Effective dirt suspension – special additives help keep loosened contamination suspended so it can be removed more easily.
• Works with detailing tools – the solution can be worked using a brush or sponge depending on the surface.
• Flexible removal – dissolved contamination can be removed using a cloth or rinsed away with water as appropriate.
• Cost effective – adjustable dilution allows you to use only the concentration necessary for each job.

Dilution Guide

Heavy contamination – 1:4
Mix approximately 250 ml ADBL APC with 750 ml water to produce 1 litre of working solution.

General cleaning – 1:10
Mix approximately 100 ml ADBL APC with 900 ml water to produce 1 litre of working solution.

Light contamination – up to 1:80
Use a substantially weaker solution when only mild cleaning power is required.

These ratios should be treated as a guide rather than a requirement to always use the strongest possible mixture.

How to use

Prepare an appropriate working solution according to the level of contamination.

Always begin with a cool surface and test the solution on a small, inconspicuous area before proceeding.

Apply the diluted APC to the area being cleaned.

Work the solution into the surface using an appropriate detailing brush, sponge or cleaning accessory.

Allow the product to loosen the contamination, but do not allow it to dry on the surface.

Remove the dissolved dirt using a clean cloth or rinse thoroughly with water, depending on the surface and application.

Repeat if necessary.

When cleaning sensitive surfaces, begin with a weaker dilution and increase the concentration only when additional cleaning power is genuinely required.

Prestige Detailing Tip

Don’t automatically reach for the strongest dilution.

One of the main advantages of a concentrated APC is that you can match the strength of the solution to the job.

For most general cleaning, ADBL recommends 1:10 as a useful starting point.

If you’re dealing with relatively light contamination, dilute the product further. For stubborn dirt, gradually increase the concentration towards ADBL’s recommended 1:4 heavy-cleaning ratio.

This gives you a simple rule:

Start mild → inspect the result → increase strength only when necessary.

This is particularly important when you’re working on unfamiliar or more sensitive materials.

We’d also distinguish ADBL APC from ADBL APC Typhoon.

Standard ADBL APC is the versatile general-purpose option for a broad range of interior and exterior cleaning jobs.

APC Typhoon is the more specialised, heavy-duty product when you’re dealing with particularly stubborn contamination and need stronger cleaning and degreasing performance.

For many routine detailing jobs, you don’t necessarily need to reach for the more aggressive option.
