yosifkujioc Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 Hello, Recently found the Optimum line of products. Like that they are safe for us to handle and for the environment. Have read quite a bit about the products. But have some specific questions, that did not come up while searching the forums. When it is mentioned that the products are safe on all surfaces, paint, metal, glass, plastic, vinyl, rubber, etc. This applies to the different types of said surfaces? For example, the vinyl used in home construction; the vinyl frames on windows, doors, etc? Would like to use ONR to clean the vinyl frames on windows and of course the glass. Know that there is no problem with cleaning the glass. Would also like to use Optimum Protectant Plus on said vinyl window frames to protect the vinyl from the elements; UV, dust, dirt, etc. Currently using Zep Vinyl Window Cleaner[0], but would prefer a user and environmentally friendly/safe product. Is the proposed usage above alright? Thank You [0] https://www.zepcommercial.com/product/zepcommercial/Vinyl-Window-Cleaner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A&J Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 ONR for cleaning and Protectant plus for UV protection will be perfectly safe both for the user and the things used on (all surfaces)! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron@Optimum Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 absolutely safe on every surface I've tested...and I've tested on about everything! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great, that is what I thought but did not want to assume. Just wanted to make sure before using ONR and Protectant Plus on the vinyl window frames. For this usage what would be the recommended ONR dilution: Standard wash solution: ratio 1:256 or 1 oz/2 gallons? Or a bit stronger: ratio 1:128 or 1 oz/1 gallon? Looking forward to using Optimum products in the household and for car care This forum is a great resource, have learned quite a bit in the last few days. Thank You for the quick replies and have a good day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A&J Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 1:256 will be just fine for cleaning most light dirt & accumulated dust! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ron@Optimum Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 1:128 is sufficient for a dirty car, so should be adequate for most any household task. Feel free to use a higher ratio, we're in business to sell product (tic). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feel free to use a higher ratio, we're in business to sell product (tic). Alright, hehe :) For window cleaning 1:256, is what have read that most use. Have also read from others experiences that 1:128 is the highest ratio to use for window cleaning. Without any streaking. Has this being your experience as well?

Ron@Optimum Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 users have different experiences - I use the instant detailer ratio of 1:16 for windows but feel free to experiment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yosifkujioc Posted June 17, 2019 Author Share Posted June 17, 2019 Yes, will experiment. Just wanted to get an idea on where to start. Will give 1:128 a try first. As this seems like a good middle ground to start from and adjust from there. Thank You Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yosifkujioc Posted June 18, 2019 Author Share Posted June 18, 2019 What we talked about in this thread about ONR's usage, would also apply to ONR Wash & Wax as well? If so, better to use ONR Wash & Wax instead then? Also, is it safe to assume that using any of the rest of the Optimum products in this matter, will be safe as well? Since all Optimum products are formulated for safe usage by the user, on all surfaces and environmentally friendly? Thank You Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron@Optimum Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 any ONR application applied to ONR with Wax (really the only ONR I use) and yes, all Optimum products are safe for home use. I've found GPS is excellent on kitchen/bathroom counter tops and sinks - cleans/polish/seals - for instance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've found GPS is excellent on kitchen/bathroom counter tops and sinks - cleans/polish/seals - for instance. Alright, just making sure. So my proposed usage of ONR[-W&W] for cleaning the windows, as a general cleaner in the home and using Protectant Plus for protecting the window frames; and any plastics, vinyls is fine? Or are there other Optimum products that would better for these uses? By GPS, you mean Optimum Glaze, Polish & Seal? What is your experience using GPS on faucets? Is ONR safe for use on the inside of windows; tinted or not? Thank You, for answering all these questions. Prefer to know as much as possible, before using any product.

Ron@Optimum Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 Optimum Glass Clean & Protect is good on glass and works particularly well on Coated glass. I haven't tried Protectant Plus on window frames, not sure how much it's worth the effort or how durable it would be. I used GPS on counter tops and sinks - it's probably safe on faucets but remember it's got light polish in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yosifkujioc Posted June 18, 2019 Author Share Posted June 18, 2019 Considered Optimum Glass Clean & Protect, but cannot be used on the interior of windows. That is why had asked: Is ONR safe for use on the inside of windows; tinted or not? Thank You Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
