Autoglym All Purpose Cleaner Should You be using this?

[@skidmarkbill]

Great video Dave, Joe Public can walk into Halfords and buy everything to clean a car to a decent standard and this ready to use product is perfect. The problem being is you do need some knowledge or it can go horribly wrong , nobody reads labels, then all of a sudden then sun comes out and there are stains everywhere and your car is a right mess. Did it many moons ago with Autoglym fallout remover turned a mates black BMW into a white BMW ! He was almost crying, quick foam and wash and it was looking good again, he still reminds me every now and then lol . Units looking good mate, hard work pays off . All the best :)

[@epicautomotivedetailing]

Thanks mate yeah I am hoping people who are new watching this realise that it's not always the product that's the problem it's the method. I really liked this APC and I think what they did making a ready to use APC was genius as it opens the door to the newcomers

[@skidmarkbill]

@@epicautomotivedetailing There is allways the H&S of using these chemicals as well like gloving up and not spraying fallout and tar and glue in your eyes ! There are some dumb mutha F##kas out there. Yea i know it's second nature to us and i know H&S is a bit jokey. Maybe be something to state in a video for those people new to detailing .

[@Piner5074]

I have to admit you’ve taught me loads now on how to wash and valet my cars correctly, to the point I can’t believe now I used to take them to a local hand wash. I’m not particularly precious about either of the cars, but 2-4 guys valeting someone else’s car in 20mins, simply won’t do as good a job as someone spending a whole morning or afternoon doing their own, never mind the cost. In terms of chemicals and cloths, I’ve spend maybe £200 a year on premium quality stuff. (Less so now going by your products and recommendations) I used to spend £20 every couple of weeks, (now that same valet is double that locally I notice,as I drive on by) so I was spending effectively double or more, for something that doesn’t even get close to what I can achieve now thanks to you. Yes I now have to make time and put the effort in, but the final results speak for themselves. So much so when I took one of my cars, a 4yr old Fabia in for service and MOT, the mechanic said it was a pleasure to work on because it was so clean. Proud car dad moment 😂

[@the_jnlt_channel]

Grest video mate. Been using this product for about a month now. Using it only as Interior trim cleaner and door shuts, which it does a good job at. Good that you showed it many different ways to be used, gives someone looking to buy it a good idea of what it can do 👍

Thanks Steve. It's definitely a brilliant product which for someone who doesn't want to spend a lot of time researching all the different products would definitely benefit from

Great review I seen other reviews of this product who slate the cost and it in 1 ltr. U got it spot on it for the weekend warrior who just want pick up a product that easy and with Autoglym always does the job. It handy to keep in the boot for spills to. And at Halfords at moment u can buy one get another half price which is over £7 for the second bottle . As a detailer I used there trade clean all for yrs I love it and this is aimed at the pros like g101 like u said. But I still have a bottle of this in my boot ideal for a coffee spill if u out and about and it works very well great review 👍

[@epicautomotivedetailing]

Thanks Gavin, I think the Detailers who comment on here saying it's lazy need to realise that not everyone shares the same knowledge or passion for car care so I'm 100% with autoglym on this product. And if it was 500ml it would still be good value for money if it was half the price so I see so many positives from this spray for sure 😃

[@gavinbetts4404]

@@epicautomotivedetailing yea I totally agree 👍

[@DjNikGnashers]

I'll be honest, I have always been a bit wary of all-purpose-cleaning products. There is a reason why certain products are for certain tasks, and you can't have something which is safe & effective on everything. I do use Autoglym interior shampoo, as I find it is perfect for interior plastics, it leaves no residue and cleans the scuffs on door bins quite well.

[@BriFree100]

Really interesting vid Dave! I always see AG as the ‘can’t f*ck it up brand but it’s always possible to cause problems if you don’t read the instructions and I think you make a really good point there. Everything needs to be used as directed and apathy is never good when cleaning cars. I’m looking forward to the headlight restoration video! 👍

[@epicautomotivedetailing]

Thank you very much. Yeah I honestly wanted to help people but also protect the companies who make these products because at the end of the day its the end user who is responsible for using the products correctly to make them work 😀

If car has interior protection that looks fairly good. Do I apc it? The cloths are coming up black ish even at some lower dilutions then I'm using adbl wow. It's not looking quite better maybe just a tiny bit better but for the work I'm confused..

[@richardbenham1475]

This may sound daft, but will ask anyway 😂 i have this product and it says to spray it direct to a cloth of interiors and to not use a brush. In your expert opinion, would using a soft brush be ok or best just stick to their instructions? Cheers 🍻

[@epicautomotivedetailing]

Not a daft question at all. At the end of the day it's an APC and I used a brush many times with no problems. I think the reason they may say don't use a brush is because it stops anyone causing damage (eg on piano black trim) it just protects them

[@pigeonpoo1823]

I'm sure it does a very good job for the occasional user, but the rate us enthusiasts go through APC, it's simply too expensive. If there was a concentrated version, I could be tempted. Nice car, looking forward to seeing what you do with it

This cleaner just like Auto finesse is too expensive with it been ready to go. Only lazy people wouldn't want something you can dilute TBH.

Fair play but i don't think this APC is aimed at people who are lazy. I use a multipurpose kitchen cleaner for my house on the floor, work tops, sink and even in the bathroom and I'm not lazy.
