It has been some pain in the ass
when i discover many of my rubberize - coat or impregnate with rubber...found on yr MP3 players, Phones, Expensive GPS & SLR cameras...more

Why Do Rubber Bands Melt and Disintegrate as They Age and How Does UV Light and Heat Speed Up the Process?

With time, ultraviolet light and oxygen in the air react with the rubber, creating reactive radicals that snip the polyisoprene chains into shorter segments.

This returns the rubber to something like its original state, soft and sticky

ta da after 10 seconds of rub rub

And i showed my beloved wife

and she says wow

then she showed me her phones rubber coating also get Disintegrate

does she means - I need to buy her a new phone

otherwise
alternative which is widely practice here- washing detergent powder + Super degreaser

sanded by worn out sponges with forceful strength

washing yr paint (paint cleaning) - instead of polishing

1) non abrasive - it does not harm yr clear coat or need $$$$$ to buy machine & polish

ta da in 10 secs

light cars - stained paint

alots of stains cant be washed away after 10 days not wash but this months


look at the close up stains

ta da

2 ways to get it done - engine degreaser mixed shampoo or hand polish/wax (takes 4 hours & lots of elbow grease) - which I did it last weekend trying help my bro Girl friend(play with old toys) ended muscles cramps & greaser wax stucks for hours on my skins (inspite after many washes - super toxic)

Wow! Looks like I'll be trying some.

 

[BobbyG]

It's really the best all purpose cleaner out there and I love using it!rops:

 

[conthedon]

nice! optimum is my favorite line of products. but you forgot sneakers! (I use it to clean up the bottom white sidewalls)

 

[WRAPT C5Z06]

I agree with you, KC!!!

Did you use it un-diluted for this thread?

What a variety of examples, very cool KC

Mark & Bobby - do you guys really like it better than Meg's APC+? I am pretty sure OPC costs more than APC+, yet have never done a comparison. For the record, I use APC+ for all sorts of cleaning, like the OP did here with OPC

I was interested in this product after reading KC's detail of the brand new M5, the wheels came out great, so I decided to get a gallon myself but after seeing all this, well, i can't wait to get to my buddy's house this weekend and pick up my order which has a gallon of OPC in it. Now for wheels, should I go with the 3:1 ratio or 2:1?

 

[HotRodJoe]

Great write-up and has me intetested in trying opc. Also I found reading your posts in a Gollum voice to be entertaining.

 

[Meticulous-Detail]

Sold! OPC on my next order.

I would say so, after trying quite a bit

yupp

I agree with you, KC!!!

Did you use it un-diluted for this thread?

i usually have 2-3 dilutions, for all above

What a variety of examples, very cool KC

yupp both are great stuff, but i found out it is much easier to wash my hands off with OPC & my hands doesn't etch as much too

3:1 is great, at times i even uses 4 / 5:1

Sold! OPC on my next order.

LOL..just try it no harm

LOL

thanks for all your kind words:xyxthumbs:

 

[WRAPT C5Z06]

KC, do you ever use it neat?

 

[Klasse Act]

I just got OPC and did the 3:1 ratio and have first tried it on my seats yesterday......WOW! I sprayed it on, let it sit and wiped down with a MF towel and let the car sit in the sun while I was working and when I came back out to the car, it was VERY clean. The seats in my CR-Z get dirty pretty easily, so I look forward to using "Alien clean" from no on. Looking forward to trying it on my tires/wheels and engine bay as well! Thanks for the nickname for this KC, I'm hooked on calling it that, LOL!

IS OPC SAFE FOR PAINT COMPARED WITH DEGREASERS FROM OTHER MANUFACTURERS?

Optimum clearly states on their label that OPC is environmentally friendly, safe on all vehicle surfaces and SAFE FOR THE USER.

What about the other products from other manufacturers?

Let's compare the FACTS!

As an example.... and for illustration purposes only as the label and MSDS for this product is also readily available and it is also made in the USA.


while some SD is great for degreasing engine bays, it is not recommended for use on paint.

OPC:
http://www.optimumcarcare.com.au/msds/MSDS%20Power%20Clean%20PC2008%202009%281%29.pdf



You will see that OPC is completely safe to use. No major health hazards, non flamable, no respiratory protection required, NOT HAZARDOUS TO TRANSPORT ACCORDING TO D.O.T. REGULATIONS, exempted from listing on the TSCA inventory of chemical substances, does not fall under Section 302, 304, 312 or 313 for toxic or hazardous chemicals AND under California State Law, I quote, "THIS PRODUCT CONTAINS NO CHEMICALS LISTED BY THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA UNDER THE SAFE DRINKING WATER AND TOXIC ENFORCEMENT ACT OF 1986 AS BEING KNOWN TO CAUSE CANCER, BIRTH DEFECTS, OR OTHER REPRODUCTIVE HARM."

How much safer can a product be and yet still has such cleaning power?

What about the others' SD?

It is classified as a CORROSIVE LIQUID containing potassium hydroxide, it is a combustible liquid, has an S5 Poison schedule, is TOXIC TO AQUATIC ORGANISMS, several of the ingredients have listed toxicity levels. There is an entire section on ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION on Page 10 of the MSDS stating clearly DO NOT allow product to contaminate water and to dispose of the product properly as it is HIGHLY TOXIC to fish and other aquatic organisms. It is also classified as a Class 8 Corrosive material and has a Hazchem rating of: 2x and a Class 8 rating for dangerous goods for land, sea and air transport as well.


MSDS here:
here

Chemwatch Hazard Rating:
Body Contact: HIGH
Toxicity: Moderate
Chronic: Moderate

S5 Poison Schedule, combustible, is listed under the Australia Exposure Standards, components have a listed toxicity level, GROUP 3 CARCINOGEN!!!, listed as a COMBUSTIBLE LIQUID for transport labels.



Maybe one should take a close look at the MSDS sheets for all the products and decide which ones you want to use and which ones you might want to take some other precautionary measures with.

[ozziepuppy]

Hope this isn't too OT, but just wondering if this product can be used on "luxury vinyl plank" floors such as Mannington Adura?

 

[fenderpicks]

Dang man... that's some versatile cleaner

Opti need to hire you as their advertisement manager!!!

 

[Detail_Dude]

So my wife can use it as nail polish remover, eh?
