To date, I have been so impressed with my gallon of Power Clean. So many uses and economical !

I thought it would be a good idea to have this thread up here, to let others know about the multi purposes of Power Clean and how to dilute them properly.

Many thanks to IntegrityDetail, and this is what he has posted on other threads,

so here we go,


Engine and jambs 1:1,
Wheels-tires-wells 3:1,
Presoak 5:1,
Interior surfaces 10:1,
Carpet TLC and light stains 20:1



Please feel free to post up if you guys come across other uses of Power Clean, and how much dilution ratio.

One thing I have been thinking is whether it can be used as a window cleaner ? maybe dilute at 20:1 ? Anyone tried it on windows before ?

Can Power Clean be used on tires at full strength? Any precautions? At 1:3 it seems to have a imiliar cleaning ability as Meg's APC 1:4 but I need to get some brown of tires but it is not coming off with PC and a stiff brush. I am not letting it soak more than 30 secs.

You can use it full strength. Just make sure the surface is cool to the touch and you don't leave it on long enough to dry.

For the window cleaning I am not sure of that but if you use ONR then ONR can be used to clean the windows with great results as well.
