I was doing a test for a free dash cleaning product that I received from AG. The dash had been treated with OPP 3-4 months ago. After cleaning part of the dash, I noticed how much of a difference there was between the clean area and the area that still had OPP applied to it. My question, is OPP still protecting after 3-4 months or is it just the "film" from OPP that was still remaining?

By the way, which side looks cleaner? The left side cleaned with Simple Green diluted 30:1 or the right side cleaned with EcoTouch Dash + Trim Cleaner?

I just started using IPP this week, had to deplete other stuff, so I can't help you with durability. I think the right may look a little cleaner what is that stuff? Never heard of it. I do have experience with TOTL's Best Dressed and it stays on till you take it off, but it's thick like optibond.

AG is carring a new eco-friendly line called EcoTouch. They sent me a bottle of the EcoTouch Dashboard + Trim Cleaner to try and review. You can see my review here: http://www.autogeekonline.net/forum/new-ca...im-cleaner.html

It appears that the Eco Touch has left something behind or didn't remove all of the Optimum. Tjhe simple green side looks a little dryer to me.


The Optimum has a polymer in it to help protect the Leather and plastic parts in your vehicles. And yes it last that long. Really an under rated product in my eyes but very important for the preservation of an interior.

I agree with your thoughts on the cleaning Ron. ET seemed to streak or something. Can't put my finger on it.

I've been a big fan of OPP for a while, but dang, this is an even better product knowing I'm getting this kind of protection.

I use OPP a ton and I also think it is very durable. I love the nice clean look matte look it gives plus the great protection. The new scent smells really good and actually lasts for quite a while.
