DLR Detailing Posted December 5, 2010 Share Posted December 5, 2010 AS I have stated in another post, I am new to Opti-Clean. Cee Dog's review showing Opti-Clean on interior trim started me to thinking about using Opti-Clean for maintenance interior wipe downs. I currently use old formula ONR at wash strength and mist onto a micro fiber towel for dash and trim. So my question is: Would Opti-Clean be better suited for this and would it leave behind more UV protection? I do not expect Opti-Clean to replace Power Clean and Protectant Plus or Opti-Bond for complete interior details, just looking into the versatility of this - new to me - product.

DLR Detailing Posted December 6, 2010 Author Share Posted December 6, 2010 Thanks Chris for the reply! Maximum UV protection isn't a priority with me on a basic wipe down and vac. I include this with a wash & wax on customer vehicles. IMO...a thorough cleaning with maximum UV protection is what a full interior detail is. I like the way Opti-Clean performs on interior trim dirt and grime. Using it in this manner will allow me to perform a light cleaning of vinyl and plastic with minimal cost to me and be perceived as a "bonus" to the customer. I was just being curious as to the protection level. Glad you have used Opti-Clean on glass with good results. I have tried it on my wife's interior glass, but have yet to use on a customer vehicle. I am looking forward to getting more familiar with this fantastic product. Thanks Optimum! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DLR Detailing Posted December 8, 2010 Author Share Posted December 8, 2010 I thInk u could compare the protection of opticlean to what ONR leaves on paint meaning that it's short lived compared to a dedicated protection product, but with regular use it can be substantial. Scottwax has a video of beading on a car that hasn't been waxed in a year but has been ONR'd every couple weeks. I would wager that opticlean performs similarly inside and out. I found that video by Scottwax. I'm impressed. Thanks for the info! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
new55 Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 Are there any interior surfaces that OC shouldn't be used on (i.e. leather seats)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DLR Detailing Posted February 11, 2011 Author Share Posted February 11, 2011 Are there any interior surfaces that OC shouldn't be used on (i.e. leather seats)? I have used it on the vinyl seats in my work truck with no issues. IMO - you could use it on coated leather. Always test in an inconspicuous area 1st! Protectant Plus would be a better choice though. Hopefully, Chris will share his wisdom with us on this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
