Optimum Power Clean - All Purpose Car Cleaner - Exterior and Interior, Bug and Tar Remover, Great for Boat, Motorcycle, RV, and Car Detailing (17 Oz)

OPT’s optimum power clean is an excellent all around apc. It can be diluted to fit your needs and is super safe for most surfaces.

I use this to clean my tires in preparation for Optimum Tire Protection and Coating, which is a much more effective and long-lasting tire shine compound than the spray-on crap commonly used. While this can be diluted to clean all parts of a car, including the interior and wheels, I simply spray it on my tires as it is, scrub them with a tire brush, and rinse off, leaving a clean tire for the Optimum tire dressing.

Cuts through the nastiest oily gunk like a charm.

I bought it because I needed a better cleaner for the tires, and caught my attention on YT videos. Since this can be diluted and adjusted for other car areas, as an all purpose cleaner it has more added value. I clean my car usually once a week or two weeks at most, so it is not in bad shape, but even after applying other chemicals, I felt the dust did not come off properly, so the tire's shine or the general cleanness did not last enough. I diluted it 1:5 ratio as directed after trying to clean some hard spots on the wheels, and it surprised me that actually reactivated some of the previously alternative cheaper dust-remover I used. They were supposed to be gone since I rinsed them off with pressured-water. For the 4 wheels-tires set I sprayed around 200 ml (7 oz). Finally, after that second wash, I felt more confident to apply the shine booster to the tires. On the 2nd week they still seem very dust-free and the shine stands, so this is my indicator that the preparation cleaning was better done that usual. I give the credit to this cleaner. I have not tried it for interiors or the engine bay yet, but I hope it should give good results as well. The manufacturer says the less water, the better, but I want to use just the correct amount and make the product last, even if it takes me a little more while of time.

as shown in the photo, idk wtf i got or why it’s different than everyone else’s but i don’t even use the nozzle. i dilute my product 5:1 or 6 parts (not precise just 26 oz of water and 5-6 of product), after first having done it as a 3:1 and going through almost the whole 32oz bottle. i realized ima be needing to dilute it more or buy a gallon and continue to dilute at 5:1 since im using a lot to clean my 3-5 buckets, brushes, polishing pads, pre soaking my polishing towels for tough stains. i’m a clean freak so i need something heavy so i might switch so something that feels more professional 👍🏽 this also smells kind of nasty in a citrusy way. it smells like chemicals and like i shouldn’t breath it in in a closed room. works amazing, but it’s not enough for me even tho i don’t use it for interior detailing or tires and i would like to if it’s still cost effective. foams up nice even diluted 5:1 btw

This is a great wheel and tire cleaner, 1/3 chem to 2/3 water in a spray bottle. Two passes and it cleaned everything off the tires and wheels, like new.

I don’t often right long reviews. It usually takes the product to wow me or to really piss me off for me to go out of my way to write a review more than just the product Does what it says it does. But I had to sit down and write this immediately. I’ll start off by saying that I am a fan of optimum products I don’t know if they are the best but when I find something that does what it says it does and does it well I’ll stick to it. I was cleaning my wheels and tires with Opti-clean and it does a great job as advertised and then noticed my wife had parked the newly buffed truck Next to sprinklers and had gotten water spots all over. I guess they had been on there for a few days as they dried Pretty solidly. I tried polishing compound, nope I tried nu- finish, Nope. I then tried ONR from detail strength to full strength. Nothing. I then thought why not try opti-clean, it works wonders on wheels give it a shot on clear coat and windows. I sprayed up to clean full strength on the quarter panel and hood of my black truck. Let it sit for 30 seconds to a minute and wiped off with a damp (with ONR) Microfiber. Spots immediately disappeared. It also works miracles on bugs and bird droppings. Now I am not sure if I even needed to use it full strength but I can tell you for sure full strength works. Optimum products are affective, well priced, good for the environment and a little bit Magic. Thanks optimum.

If you live in an area where dust, bugs, and dirt are everywhere like I do. Purchase this by the gallon. You will love this stuff. At full strength it will soften those caked on bugs and dirt and allow you to simply rinse them off. Thicker clumps of off-roading mud/dirt will of course require a pre-rinse, preferably with a power washer and turbo nozzle. But other than that, this stuff used as a pre-cleaner for those stubborn nasty dead bugs makes it a breeze to clean them off. Same goes for your windshield, dead bugs are no longer an issue with this cleaner. Do not make this your only cleaner, however. Make sure to follow it up with ONR and wash your car completely. The results are extremely good! Diluted 3 to 1 is what the label recommends. But there are times when you need a bit more "umph" and full strength is what I like to use and immediately follow up with a ONR after getting the hard crud off.
