Hey everyone. Just getting this product to reduce my product lineup (For example, remove wheel cleaner, remove degreaser, remove interior cleaner) and was wondering how everyone uses it? I found older threads but I wanted to ask again because I noticed that on the Optimum website itself, it states 3:1 for interiors but after receiving the bottle here, it states 5:1 for interiors on it. Originally was going to do 3:1 for interiors, wheels, engine bays, tires but now I think I'll do a second separate 5:1 mix for interiors only. And then have my full strength in case it is needed if 3:1 doesn't work for other jobs.

What do you guys think? Also since we're in 2023 now, is OPC still a good choice of product for an APC type?

I use it at 3:1 for just about everything. But I can see 5:1 being better for interiors. 3:1 is likely OP for inside.

At 3:1 it works great against dried on bugs and seems to combat brake dust in wheels decently too.

Ok that's good to hear, always great to save some money by diluting more when you can.

Also glad to hear it works well on bugs. I actually just remembered, I planned to use OPC to replace my dedicated bug cleaner to. Can't wait to try it out!

Even though I'm now a BH Surfex HD user, I was formerly an OPC user. I had it at two dilutions....5:1 for lighter duty cleaning tasks, and 3:1 for heavy duty cleaning tasks. I never used it for anything but exterior surfaces, tires, wheels and wheel wells
