I wanted to do a product review on this product because it just works so well. I used this product to clean the paint prior to the application of Opti-coat.
Yesterday, I had some free time so I decided to polish out and apply OC2.0 on my uncle's van. The car had very minor swirls so I used M205 to polish out the entire vehicle. As you know, M205 is rich in polishing oils and this will interfere with OC2.0's bonding. OC instructs the user to use a 15% IPA solution after polishing in order to ensure a clean surface. This was my chance to compare my IPA solution to the Eraser. Let the battle begin.
On the first two panels I worked on, I used my 15% IPA solution. The panels came out squeaky clean. However, I felt that the IPA solution was too strong and it was flashing very quickly. If you didn't wipe it off fast enough, it would just evaporate and I was afraid that this phenomenon will damage the paint finish. Eraser on the other hand was a pleasure to work with. Eraser didn't evaporate if you left it in the finish so this made me feel safe with the product. It's also very effective in making the paint squeaky clean as well. The product spreads great too! A little goes a long way.
One great feature of this product is its fragrance. I can't pinpoint what the scent smells like but it smelled really good. I was actually addicted to the smell.
Overall, this product is a great alternative to IPA. You don't have to worry about mixing your home brewed IPA solution. In addition, I felt that this product is safer to use compared to the IPA solution. If you haven't tried this product yet, you have to give it a shot. It's worth it. I already have the 1L refill in my wishlist for my next order.
P.S. I don't have any shots of using the product because there's really no way of showing before/after using Eraser. So this image is the van I worked on after applying OC2.0 It's a 2004 and I think it still looks pretty good!
