Has anyone tried diluting Optimum Protection Plus for interior dressing?

[fellipe]

Can Optimum Protection Plus be diluted?

Thanks!

[WRAPT C5Z06]

Yes, it can.

Hi Mark, which ratio do you recommend?

[WRAPT C5Z06]

I've only tried 1:1. Why do you want to dilute it?

[fellipe]

What did you find of it diluted 1:1?

I want to dilute it (even 1:1 is fine) to lower costs... I'm from Brazil and producs are very expensive here AND to justify using it on my production/wholesale business.

Bump!

it is a nice product, but when not used on leather it can "streak" a bit if you don't go back over it. Leaves a nice matte finish. I've went away from it and now use Megs Quik Interior Detailer. Megs QID cleans better, leaves a nice even finish, is more economical, and works great even in the sun.

Thanks Mark.

Fellipe, just noticed this after responding to your question on the Optimum forum. I am biased when it comes to Optimum products but whilst I like the Optimum dressing I am not sure it really stands out like some of the other products from the range. For me there are better alternatives which in some cases are cheaper and more durable

Like you, I am not based in America and although the USA does have some amazing products it really is worth looking at some domestic products. Some may be great and some may be very poor but local products may well be cheaper than imported detailing products. I am not trying to put you off buying any products but one of the things which has struck me over the years is this strange feeling that some foreign goods must be better than stuff you can buy locally.
