Andrewwbrowne Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 Hey Guys, Huge fan of the products but I've made a silly mistake. I used the Ik foamer with OPC to wash a car but underestimated the drying power of the sun and have left the foam to dry on the glass. I've tried re-washing, clay bar, window cleaner and even hand polished it but haven't had much luck with getting the stains out. Can anyone recommend a product or solution for me? Thanks!

Ron@Optimum Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 I've never seen Power Clean stain, but it will etch glass if allowed to dry. You may have to get the D/A out and polish... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ron@Optimum Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 old PC labels stated "do not let dry on surface". I've had personal experience with PC etching glass, that's why we ALWAYS remind users to rinse thoroughly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Setec Astronomy Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 Well, that's pretty common for APC's and wheel cleaners etc. to say not to let them dry on the surface, but etching glass is a bit beyond that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron@Optimum Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 to my knowledge only happened in concentrated form, but it is something to be aware of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrewwbrowne Posted October 17, 2018 Author Share Posted October 17, 2018 FYI It was diluted 3:1 but one side of the car was definitely exposed to the sun. It seems to have faded have definitely learnt my lesson for next time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
