    I would be down. I have a 16floz bottle that I've been using; but I don't recall how much I have left. I would you be willing to trade to try Power Clean. PM me and we can work a trade out.

    its a monster at 1.1 but quickly loses effectiveness at 1.3 or more what i like about power clean is it still seems strong at 1.10

    I don't like it. I used it at 1:5 and cleans ok but nothing out of the ordinary. Also stinks to high heaven.
    Megs Super Degreaser is better IMO.

    I like grime reaper for tires and wheel wells. I agree it does.stink. Dont use it in a kwazar sprayer though as it messed up mine.
    Zep purple works just as well though and is cheaper.

    For undercariage I would stick with OTC stuff that is geared specifically for that purpose, like Engine Bright it cleans but will not corrode or strip grease that is thick like in ball joints and bearings and such causeing premature failure.

    I've tried it and thought it was pretty useless. Stick with your Power Clean. AG Powermax3 works extremely well also.

    more like guinea hens..... those are some dumb ass birds I tell you. I killed 6 of them the other day, they all decided to take off, and instead of going up they flew directly at me and low, so some went under my truck and most hit the windshield...

    I use zep citrus for engine bays and wheel wells, opc for everything else. I love being able to clean anything from leather to tar with one product. Saves me time and just simplifies everything.

    Tried GR and never really liked it.

    I bought some AG Powermax3 this past summer, but only just started using it. This is some really good APC. It may be on par with Powerclean, but I haven't used that for some time. Bought it when it first came out and really liked it but felt it was too costly. Thought I would give the AG Powermax3 a try since it is marketed as an actual TFR (traffic film remover).

    Been using the AG Powermax3 to clean the paintwork. Putting 2 oz in 44 oz garden spayer filled to the top so probably closer to 50 oz and it is plenty strong at that ratio. I have no problem cleaning up the door/lid jambs at that strength. I have yet to try it on engine bays but I'm sure a stronger mix would have no problem.

    Problem is I think it is about the same price as OPT Powerclean.
