    OPC as a Pre-Soak

    I usually look for older threads before starting a new one, but came up short. I was surprised to see Ivan use OPC @ 3:1 to pre-soak. I'm sure it works extremely well at stripping TRF.

    Re: OPC as a Pre-Soak

    •IMO:
    -Using OPC @3:1 to pre-soak surfaces
    that have contaminates, such as bugs
    and tar, is a sensible first-step approach
    towards their ultimate removal.

    -On the other hand, using OPC @3:1
    on vehicles’ entire exterior surfaces is
    just a little bit on the side of overkill.

    Re: OPC as a Pre-Soak

    I feel the same. I suppose though that applying it only on certain areas could weaken the LSP on those specific areas, which may create uneven coverage. However I would reseal/protect any areas I used OPC regardless.
