KIS76@ Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 I bought a few bottles of Opti-Clean for a waterless wash. I've been struggling with Opti-Clean streaking a bit and wonder what I'm doing wrong. Paint is in great shape. I've tried it with the car dry and slightly dirty and also after it rained. On both occasions it streaked a bit. Once I dried it completed it looked great. I'd like to keep using it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KIS76@ Posted September 6, 2021 Author Share Posted September 6, 2021 ....I did a test area again on the trunk, using a lot more product and it worked much better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron@Optimum Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 because it's waterless, Opti-Clean can require more solution than ONR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KIS76@ Posted September 9, 2021 Author Share Posted September 9, 2021 Ron, with Opti-Clean do you know if less is preferred or should you really saturate the surface? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron@Optimum Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 in general, less is better with Optimum products. For Opti-Clean I've found the amount of product is dependent on how dirty (and what kind of dirt) is the paint. For light dust/pollen, a little product works fine. For heavy dirt or the kind accumulated during winter driving, a heavier application (or multiple passes) of OC may be needed. Saturation might be necessary for build up/baked on dirt.
