Tom Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 What is the dilution for Opti Coat No Rinse for 1) wash 2) pre-soak 3) quick detailor Is FerreX supposed to be sprayed on as a pre wash or wash and rinse? Is Opti Coat Power clean just used to re-soak heavy dirt and caked on bugs or as a detailor? Just not sure if it’s application. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A&J Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 This will help As for ONR: - 1:256 mix for wash - 1:64 or 1:256 for pre wash - 1:64 for QD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron@Optimum Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 FerreX is a decontaminant product specifically for metal deposits, and should be used as a pre-wash, not a "wash & rinse" product. Power Clean can also be used directly (not only with foam cannons) - 100% Power Clean is good for heavy duty cleaning (engines, wheels, etc), mixed 1;3 its good to decontaminate paint, remove tar/bugs, etc, and at 1;5 it cleans interior vinyl/leather/fabric. Always wipe/rinse Power Clean off after application. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A&J Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 Ron Power clean at 1:5 may be too strong for leather cleaning. Yvan recomends it at 1:20 to start off and and stronger mixes if need to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lowejackson Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 A&J, Power Clean is safe at 3:1 according to Dr G but it would be wasteful not to water it down even further. This is one of the nice things about Power Clean, at 3:1 it will clean wheels and leather safely. No idea how this works but it is obviously very different to most other cleaners. It is just a shame it is so expensive this side of the pond. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A&J Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Lowejackson I havent seen you post in ages...nice to see you are still here. I remember Yvan saying in the podcast...dont know when...to start off with a weaker mix of PC on leather. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lowejackson Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 A&J, nice to be back, just very busy in real life. I agree with you and Yvan, using OPC at higher dilution rates is a good thing to do. It uses less product as most of the time leather will not get as dirty as wheels or engines so a weaker dilution is more appropriate. Not sure when this was posted but it does talk about interior cleaning at 3:1 http://optimumpolytech.blogspot.co.uk/2015/06/power-clean.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ron@Optimum Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 My general purpose mix for Power Clean and I've used in on everything (including leather couches) safely. The key with PC is to always rinse it thoroughly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darrvao777 Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 is there a difference between optimum power clean and opti coat power clean beyond the color? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron@Optimum Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 Opti-Coat Power Clean is supposed to work better on ceramic coatings, but I've not noticed a difference in performance between the 2. darrvao777 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
