jhouse153 Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 Hey all, I'm wondering what product(s) can be used to clean and protect 1) my infotainment screen and 2) the clear plastic covering my instrument gauge panel on the dashboard. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron@Optimum Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 Protectant Plus cleans and protects vinyl and plastic, along with leather. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A&J Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 Opti seal can be also used to remove finger smudges off the info screen & protect at the same time. Its also good to protect plastics. You can cleand them with onr, opti clean or what Ron said Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhouse153 Posted March 10, 2020 Author Share Posted March 10, 2020 Thanks all! I ordered a bottle of Protectant Plus! A&J, can ONR be used to clean the clear plastic and touchscreen? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron@Optimum Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 not A&J, but ONR works well on all interior surfaces - leather, vinyl. plastic, metal, glass. Protectant Plus not only cleans but leaves UV and hydrophobic protection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Setec Astronomy Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 I personally would not use Protectant Plus on a touch screen or my instrument cluster. The Optimum product I would use is Opti-Clean, but make sure to spray it on your towel, and not on the surface, as you don't want to get any product inside either the electronics of the touchscreen, nor the enclosure for the instruments. Be gentle as these surfaces can scratch easily and it can be REALLY annoying once that happens. Use a good quality, clean microfiber, and flip it to a clean side often to prevent grinding any dirt or dust into the surface. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhouse153 Posted March 11, 2020 Author Share Posted March 11, 2020 Ok. I'll give this a thought. I can at least use protectant plus on everything else. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron@Optimum Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 Not sure why you question Protectant Plus on infotainment/instrument panels, Setec, I've used it for years with no problem. Jhouse original post was for something that cleans and protects - Opti-Clean is a great cleaner and Opti-Seal an excellent protector, but PP does both. I wouldn't use PP for windows or other glass, not designed for that, but its great on plastic (It's Dr G's favorite for exterior plastic as well).

jhouse153 Posted March 12, 2020 Author Share Posted March 12, 2020 Hi Ron & Others, Thanks so much for the information! I didn't necessarily intend to ask that the cleaning and protecting needed to be the same product. I'm happy to use 2 separate products if it needed. But if PP does both, then that's great!

Ron@Optimum Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 PP is a light cleaner (but usually enough for an interior) and an great protector - UV, stain resistant, revitalizes leather, and hyrophobic. So safe I use in on leather furniture in my house... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
