Whether you're dealing with stubborn stains on your car's upholstery or grime on your kitchen countertops, this all-purpose cleaner is up to the task. It's designed to clean, dissolve, and emulsify virtually any surface or material, making it an invaluable tool for both car enthusiasts and homeowners alike.

It's biodegradable, VOC-free, and part of 3D's Green Technology pledge, which ensures that all their products are safe for you, the surfaces you're cleaning, and the environment.

In this article, we'll delve into the many uses of the 3D Car Care All-Purpose Cleaner, exploring how it can transform your cleaning routine and why it stands head and shoulders above the competition. So, whether you're a car care veteran or a cleaning novice, buckle up and prepare to be impressed by the versatility of this all-purpose cleaner.

Does 3D Car Care’s All-Purpose Cleaner Need to Be Diluted?

It depends on what you're using the APC for. Our all-purpose cleaner can be used straight from the bottle or diluted to best fit the job at hand. The exact ratio depends on the severity of the task.

For light-duty cleaning, such as interior detailing, we recommend diluting the cleaner at a ratio of 1:10 parts water. This means for every one part of the cleaner, you should be adding ten parts of water.

For pre-treating stains or dealing with heavily soiled areas, a stronger solution may be required. For these situations, the cleaner can be diluted at a ratio of 1:4, or even 1:1 for more stubborn stains.

It's important to note that the cleaner's effectiveness is not compromised when diluted. Even at a dilution ratio of up to 10:1, the cleaner remains highly effective at removing tough soiling from various surfaces.

This makes the 3D Car Care All-Purpose Cleaner extremely versatile in its usage. By adjusting the concentration of the cleaner, you can manipulate the formulation to handle cleaning jobs, big or small.

When the 3D All-Purpose Cleaner Should be Used in Detailing

Our all-purpose cleaner is a versatile product that can be used in a variety of detailing scenarios. Its ability to clean, dissolve, and emulsify virtually any surface or material makes it a go-to solution for both interior and exterior cleaning.

So what exactly can you use the 3D APC on? Well, pretty much everything.

Tires

Our APC is a highly effective solution for cleaning tires. Its powerful and concentrated formula is capable of breaking down dirt, grime and brake dust that accumulates on tire surfaces. It's safe to use on all types of tires, ensuring that the rubber is not compromised during the cleaning process.

Remember, before applying any tire dressing or shine product, it's crucial to thoroughly clean the tires. This ensures that all previous tire dressing, dirt, and oily road grime are removed, allowing the dressing to adhere properly and provide a long-lasting, high-gloss shine.

We suggest using a 1:4 dilution ratio, meaning one part cleaner to four parts water. This ratio provides a balance between effectiveness and economy, making it suitable for regular tire maintenance.

Pre-Washing

Another well-kept secret is that our APC can be used as a pre-wash. A dilution ratio of 1:2 to 1:5, depending on how dirty the car is to begin with, is a great way to really clean heavily soiled vehicles. You can even run it through a foamer for a deeper clean.

Our APC is perfect for deep-cleaning during full-scale detailing projects, especially if you plan on applying protection afterwards.

That said, please keep in mind that our all-purpose cleaner is very concentrated. So if you have a sealant or wax on the car, we recommend staying away from using an APC to wash your car.

Leather

The 3D All-Purpose Cleaner is an excellent choice for cleaning leather surfaces. Its organic formula is safe for modern coated leather, ensuring that the material is not damaged during the cleaning process. The cleaner contains an enzyme that effectively removes both biological and organic stains, making it particularly useful for tackling stubborn dirt and grime that can accumulate on leather surfaces.

Remember, after cleaning, it's crucial to condition the leather to maintain its suppleness and prevent cracking or fading over time.

Carpets & Fabrics

The 3D APC is also a highly effective solution for cleaning carpeted and fabric surfaces. Its powerful formula is capable of dissolving and emulsifying stubborn dirt, grime, and stains that often accumulate on these surfaces. This cleaner is safe to use on all types of fabrics and carpets, ensuring that the material is not damaged during the cleaning process.

For carpet and fabric cleaning, a recommended dilution ratio is 1:10, meaning one part cleaner to ten parts water. This ratio provides a balance between effectiveness and economy, making it suitable for regular carpet and fabric maintenance.

Remember, after cleaning, it's crucial to thoroughly dry the cleaned surfaces to prevent the growth of mold and mildew.

Rubber, Vinyl & Plastic

For plastic and rubberized surfaces, our APC does a fantastic job of cleaning dust, dirt and grime from vinyl, plastic and rubber surfaces. Not only does it offer a great clean, it's perfectly safe to use as these materials won't get damaged in the process.

For rubber, vinyl, and plastic cleaning, a recommended dilution ratio is 1:10, meaning one part cleaner to ten parts water. This ratio provides a balance between effectiveness and economy, making it suitable for regular maintenance of these surfaces.

Remember, after cleaning, it's crucial to thoroughly dry the cleaned surfaces to prevent any potential damage or discoloration.

Engine Bay

Need to tackle a bigger job? No problem! The 3D All-Purpose Cleaner can handle it. Because of its super concentrated formula, using a 1:4 dilution ratio for engine bay cleaning and detailing can yield incredible results. This ratio provides a balance between effectiveness and economy, making it suitable for regular maintenance of the engine bay.

Fender Liners

Speaking of big jobs, you can’t forget the fender liners. Some of the heaviest contamination can be found here, from mud, road film, oils, and more. If left untouched, these pollutants can slowly deteriorate the liners over time.

Using a dilution ratio of 1:2 to 1:5 coupled with a high-quality brush is the perfect recipe for sparkling clean fender liners. Not only can you clean up the plastic fender liners, but all the suspension components in and around the area are fair game, too.

Household
