Outstanding Customer Reviews Autoglym All Purpose Cleaner 1L (APC001)
- Part Number: APC001
- Condition: This is a new aftermarket part
All Purpose Cleaner has been designed to assist with exterior cleaning and is ideal as a pre-spray prior to a shampoo, to loosen bugs, stubborn dirt and traffic film from paintwork and wheels.
It has excellent degreasing qualities so is a perfect solution for grimy engine bays, door and boot shuts and fuel filler cavities.
All Purpose Cleaner is also safe to use on your car’s interior surfaces and is perfect for a heavily soiled or stained interior or a thorough annual clean for plastics, fabrics and even leathers. For regular on-going interior cleaning, we would recommend Autoglym Interior Shampoo.
How to use:
Exterior use:
Do not apply in direct sunlight or if paintwork is warm to touch.
- For best results apply to dry surfaces. Apply cleaner liberally, especially where they is a build up of mud or dirt, and allow to dwell for up to 5 minutes. Important: Do not allow to dry.
- When removing grease and grime, agitate with a soft brush or wash mitt.
- Rinse with high pressure water. Stubborn deposits may require repeat applications with agitation.
- If using as a bodywork pre-spray now shampoo the vehicle.
Interior use:
Always pre-test colour fastness of surfaces before use.
- Fabric surfaces: Apply sparingly with a fine spray. Gently agitate with a brush or interior sponge then wipe with a clean damp cloth or an Autoglym Aqua Dry.
- For leather, vinyl and hard surfaces: Apply directly to an Autoglym Microfibre Cloth or sponge and wipe over the surface to be cleaned. Do not use a brush and avoid excessive rubbing. Finally, wipe with a clean damp cloth or an Autoglym Aqua Dry.
Alcantara: Apply sparingly to a clean, damp Autoglym Aqua Dry and wipe gently. Do not over wet the surface and avoid excessive rubbing. Dry with a clean cloth. A brush can help the fibres lay correctly after cleaning.
DO NOT USE on sat nav or dashboard screens.

Shipping & Delivery
As an international mail order company, our focus is to get parts to our customers as quickly and economically as possible. Where possible we will try to provide a choice of shipping options.
Our database knows the weight of every part listed on our website. In the majority of cases this allows automatic shipping options for each order to be chosen at the checkout. Unfortunately, penalties will be imposed by all shipping companies if a parcel is particularly large in size compared to its weight, this is commonly known as “voluming out”. This means that sometimes we are unable to accurately quote shipping for orders until we have packed the parcel and confirmed the shipping cost.
Please be aware that import duties and taxes may apply in countries outside of the European Union. All duties and taxes are set by the Customs Authority of the destination country and, as such, we have no control over them. Please note that it will be the responsibility of the customer to pay all duties and taxes.
Our two most commonly used methods of shipment are by the postal service and UPS.
We do, however, hold accounts with most major international couriers so please let us know if you have a preferred courier or if you would like us to ship using an account you hold with a specific courier.
