Use only OPC (diluted 10:1) to clean interiors and dash?

[fellipe]

To speed up the process on my production mobile car wash business I`m thinking of using only Optimum Power Clean (diluted 10:1) to clean the interiors, including dash. Do you think it's a good idea and can work well?

Not sure how using Optimum 10:1 would "speed up the process", but it does clean interiors very well

If you are going to use it, or any other alkaline APC on carpet and upholstery, it needs an additional step to neutralize it. So if you are in a hurry, I suggest Folex for carpet and upholstery

Thank for your reply. By speed up I mean using only one product for everything on interior and on all cars.

[allenk4]

I would not use it on everything

IMO for a moderately dirty car you need multiple products:

OPC
Glass Cleaner
Folex
Vinyl/Plastic Dressing

So for cleaning a dirty interior it would be OPC + Vinyl/Plastic Dressing for the dash?

I'll use ONR (from the wash bucket) for the glass.

OPC at 10:1 to clean

Dressing the dash is something to discuss with the Customer
Some like it shiny, some prefer a matte finish

I'd suggest Chemical Guys NonSense APC for the general cleaning,

Very concentrated at 1:20, but you may try different dilution like 1:15 / 1:10 if your cleaning needs are very heavy (always test inconspicuous place first when using lower dilution).
Chemical Guys Nonsense All Surface Super Cleaner 16 oz.

The protectant I'll suggest at your protectant thread.

Kind Regards.

Hey Tato, May I know why you prefer the NonSense instead of OPC?

OPC is excellent and safe. On the interior, I wouldn't use it on glass or carpet/upholstery. Everything else, no problem.
