metallicflakemetal Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 Lets say theoretically someone wanted to clean their glass shower with a tiled floor with optimum products... I was thinking ONR everything and then apply OPTI-GLASS CLEAN & PROTECT to the glass, there is also occasionally mold that crops up in the grout, what would be ideal to spray on that to get rid of it? MDR? PowerClean? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron@Optimum Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 Power Clean would be your best choice for mold, but really you need something with bleach. Glass Clean & Protect is good for the doors and I've used Opti-Seal for long term protection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Outback Posted June 5, 2021 Share Posted June 5, 2021 I've wondered how Opti-Glass would fare being used on shower doors, porcelain sinks and toilet bowls? As "warm-up", I'm experimenting with the new formula Hyper-Seal in those locations. So far, the Hyper-Seal (unlike the SIO2 spray-ons I've tried (TurtleWax, NuFinish, Apex resheet, etc.)) actually fends off hard water rings and makes cleaning easier. Would Opti-Glass provide more resistance and handle the occasional scrub brush better? FYI my car's windshield has one of the two - part glass coatings on it, which works OK but isn't all that great at resisting bug guts: unknown whether Opti-Glass would be a better " topper" than the 2 - parter's own "maintenance" treatments.

Olds394 Posted November 20, 2021 Share Posted November 20, 2021 Power clean at 5% I can vouch for, but like Ron said, bleach for mildew. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Outback Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 Update: found that new formula Opticoat Hyper-seal does a good job fending off stuff in toidy bowls but didn't last all that long on sinks (was hoping it could help keep metal drain surfaces clean but it only lasted a week). Now having OptiCoat glass coat, I'm curious how long I need to wait for it to fully cure after applying. The product label suggests 2 minutes are the window for applying and leveling (it warns that if high spots are left, only polishing will remove them). As for my car, it currently has Glassparency on all the windows, so I am not sure OptiCoat glass coat would adhere to that (Glassparency has proven OK but nothing special and needs top offs every 3 months).

Mr.Outback Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 For that matter, does OptiCoat glass seal adhere well to __clean grout__? Grout is mostly sand/silica, and the typical "grout sealers" usually last a very short time. I realize it's definitely an "off label" use, but am curious. FYI I'm surprised how primitive the other available coatings are for various home products like showers, sinks, glass windows, etc. It seems silly to rip out older glasswork/porcelain work if there were some good products that could recoat them.

A&J Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 You realize there is no real answer to your question right? Opt stuff was created as being a paint protection and not grout protection. You can test it on your own and write here what conclusions you have made! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Outback Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 Yes I know that the uses I've mentioned here are "off label". Still, homeowners like preserving existing glass/porcelain if possible: they're few "modern" options - most use Carnauba wax. Replacements cost hundreds to thousands of dollars. My focus here's on Optimum products that are designed to bond to glass and silica based materials. Will post results of my tests later.
