The Best All Purpose Cleaners: 4 Compared (and One to Skip) · Automotive
Mothers Professional All-Purpose Cleaner Concentrate
A trade gallon concentrate with the fullest mix table here, but no pH figure, a dye and perfume, and no word on which side of its ratios is water.
Why we skip it: The page does not say which side of 1:15 or 1:3 is water, and brands differ on that convention.

The Best Car Detailing Clay: 4 Compared (and One to Skip) · Automotive
Mothers Professional Detailing Clay, Medium Grade
A traditional clay bar the maker labels medium grade, which is more cut than routine maintenance claying calls for.
Why we skip it: The maker labels it Medium Grade, a step coarser than the fine grade this review recommends for routine maintenance
