I'm not so sure about CarPro Eraser...

OPC needs to be rinsed, but yes you can use it to strip oils and such. I don't use or recommend IPA personally as there are lots of better suited product out there.

Thanks for this post...

I must have missed this info...Since this is the first time I've heard of OPC having bleaching properties.

Even if it does, and though this thread is dealing with product(s) for 'stripping purposes' in preparation for varied LSP applications, I personally do not wish to bleach the top-coat paint film (clear-coat), for any reason!!!


Just saying...

{Perhaps Chris@Optimum could clarify this matter.}

OPC does NOT have ANY bleaching properties. I called fredcantdetail out a few months back in the leather thread that Mark (z-oh-6) started and he interjects this crap into just about every thread where OPC in mentioned. I would be willing to wager that he has never even used Power Clean because he stated that he uses bargain priced APC's and would never pay MSRP for Power Clean.

fredcantdetail: Since some people might not get your silly jokes and to set the record straight, Power Clean does not contain any bleaching power otherwise many users would have reported discoloration on leather, vinyl, or their microfiber towels for that matter. As proof, You can spray Power Clean on any clothing or any other colored article and there is no discoloration. I do not believe that you have even used this or any other Optimum product that you comment on, but I am sure forum regulars recognize your lack of credibility on the forum!

Please stop harrassing Optimum and move on. This forum and it's members deserve better posting than this.
 
I've used power clean on my wife's delicates to take out grease stains when nothing else will

nothing sexier than your woman chowing down on some KFC in her underthings...

Thanks for your post Chris!

I truly realize the depths that some will go to in order to discredit people, places and things.
IMO...Those that attempt to so discredit anyone, or anything for that matter, and not have an "open-mindfulness" and "friendly-demeanor", are proving that they may just be discreditable themselves.

I knew about the "bleach" issue......I just wanted to make sure that all visitors to the AGO forum were dutifully informed of some of Optimum's products' properties....

Thanks for providing the pertinent info.

Same thing with solvents; swelling and softening of solvents is not an issue but wiping the softened paint can cause marring. That is precisely why I don't use IPA wipedowns, but use a Power Clean wash or just ONR (when using our products) before inspecting.

Does the above underlined mean that I have a legitimate answer to my question/thoughts in post #74?
 
FWIW, I haven't had any marring issues with Eraser. I will continue to use it. The IPA % crossed my mind, so I thought I'd discuss it.

It was truly a genuine pleasure discussing this matter with you, my good Sir. :dblthumb2:

It wasn't until recently that the idea that IPA causes swelling was brought up.

Up until then, I don't know that anyone's paint was damaged from using IPA.

Drama for dramas sake.

And for Chris @ Optimum, I have gotten OPC on my clothes in the past, and been able to where them (in public) again after washing them. (no bleach LOL).
 
Mark, you magical wording of threads has created another epic extravaganza! ERASER ROCKS!! :)

Exactly, it was all the rage and nobody said they had damaged their paint or had any problem with it. Then all of a sudden people decided they wanted something else to be cool for the day... Rofl

You'll certainly get many opiinions, but I tend to agree your logic. A degreaser or APC wash would seem to be safer due to the lubricity that an IPA mix will provide. Erasure may have addressed this and would certainly make IPA better/safer, but personally I prefer to wash rather than just wipe when preparing for a coating.

Yeah, IPA isn't a problem in it's self...it's wiping it that would do the damage if it had actually softened the paint that would do the damage. I guess some prefer a wipedown to a wash to save time, but you're not really saving time if you have to repolish. Just be safe and use good sense.

Thanks for the "no bleach" confirmation, too...LOL :nomore:
