Whom do you look up to, emulate, or respect in the detailing industry. For me...its you guys! You are here...willing to learn and I deeply respect and admire that. Cheers!!

You have a wonderful demeanor for a KZfaqr! Keep doing you!

excellent video. Something that I was really looking forward to. Pls keep more videos coming. cheers

I feel u are incredibly knowledgeable and talented. Much love and respect

I just recently started using it as a pretreat with ONR and LOVE the extra lubrication it provides. It's my go to in the winter when I can't run it through a touchless wash bay.

Thank you Brian!! Your videos are gold! thank you

"Clink it and sink it" you are a class act good sir.

I enjoy watching your videos and value your information. I do take care of my own car and never bring it to a car wash. I have done a lot and learned so much from your videos. I live in an apartment complex and sneak the hose out early AM. I also use the waterless wash process.Thanks ✊

Another terrific video and product review!! Thank you

Very simple you Brian :) No selling products just fair and honest reviews.

yet again Brian, very helpful👍

Thanks again Brian, informative video. For what it's worth I hear other people giving props out to others frequently. Case in point Brian at FAB Automotive Detailing just mentioned you on his live podcast Saturday night, in a very positive way. Also I see if someone mentions another reviewer in their comments usually the response is at least respectful. I have found many new reviewers by either the person making the videos mention them or someone mentioning them in the comments section. Thanks again for the video.

Your the man B & big enough to tip your hat 🧢 to another detailed your one standup guy 👍🏻

Excellent video. I will purchase the power clean immediately. I get the Opti Coat Pro Plus treatment on Monday. which foam wash and maintenance opti coat products would you use. I have watched a lot of your videos this week and now I find myself looking for your comments first. Great work and thanks for the detail and time you take to put these videos together.

I was looking to "upgrade" my APC and this popped up. If this have your blessing, definitely i will get one

Love the videos ! , would love to see you compare the optimum wax vs any other such as head maker etc thank you !

I love Power Clean. I'm on my third gallon. Straight up for tires, 3:1 for everything else. 5:1 for very dirty interiors.

Brian, long time fan of your channel, thanks for so many helpful videos. QQ, my IK foamer is arriving tomorrow and wondering what dilution ratio you recommend for OPC. I will be using to pretreat paint that is coated with IGL Kenzo, unfortunately due to neglect, the beading and sheeting action of the ceramic coating is gone, water clings to the panel and even a microfiber doesn’t glide over the panel. I am in upper north, guessing a lot of road salt and grime is stuck on the paint. Not sure if OPC would take the coating off or not, but right now I don’t have much choice. My plan is to clean using OPC, then treat with Ferrex, then put a coupe of coats of turtle wax ceramic spray sealant to act as a topper for the IGL(if there is any left that is). Thoughts ?

I use Meguiars' Super Degreaser bought in bulk. Super cheap, great for the same types of jobs and excellent around the house too, especially in the kitchen and to clean shower panels. Power Clean seems very good too and it always comes handy knowing of other options!

Not only is Ivan LaCroix an accomplished detailer, who generously shares his knowledge, he is also the best dressed detailer. How many detailers have you seen compound a vehicle in a button down shirt neatly pressed and a bow tie?

Great information, thanks!

@apex detail : I have a question. I have watched your videos on ONR and Power clean. Which one do you suggest is better for doing a rinsless wash ?

Great video Brian! Question, would it be pointless to use a 3:1solution of the PC in the IK 1.5 Foam Sprayer to clean my wheels and tires? Thinking about buying the IK 1,5 sprayer/foam combo. I would clean them twice/week Would I then need to go over it with ONR or Opti Clean? I'm new to Optimum products. Any advice would be much appreciated.

another great video again buddy. b well

Brian....I was really hoping you would show how you use this to remove waxes and sealants. Can you share your process for this...dilution ratio, time allowed to rest on the paint, how you agitate it (if you do), if you apply multiple applications, etc.? Thanks

Thanx for this video. But 2 questions pop to my mind. 1/ can it be used to remove wax/sealants ? 2/ can it be used as a panel wipe before applying a new sealant/wax ? Looking for an upgrade for my current PoorboysWorld APC+d cause i'm not sure this one is safe to be used on paint. Thank you.

can I spray on the paint let it sit , rinse and continue with my 2 bucket system? would art be as effective still ?

Hi, I noticed this is less concentrated and more costly than something like 3D all purpose cleaner #104. Does the optimum power clean take advantage of their proprietary polymers to increase dirt encapsulation, lubricity and/or overall cleaning capability? Thanks!

Hi Brian, when you dilute this product, example: 3:1, is that 3 parts product and 1 part water?

Question for you Brian, have you tried Opti-Clean, their waterless wash concenrate? I'm wondering how Opti-Clean at its 3:1 mix would compare for pre-treating or cleaning lightly soiled interior panels, versus using PowerClean at 5:1 or a weaker dilution. I'm interested particularly in switching to something else for interior cleaning, as I've been using ONR or URW and using a magic eraser for tougher spots but really I need to use a stronger chemical, but don't want to put Super Clean anywhere near the interior, and Spray Nine I don't like the smell from interior use. Appreciate your feedback!

For the ONR wash, what's the ratio again? 0.5 oz of Power Clean with what?

would you recommend this over the meguairs all purpose cleaner or degreaser?

So it comes in a spray bottle that I have to dilute in to another spray bottle?

I've been using this (gallon size only) aka Alien Kleen on Autogeek, named by a guy who used to post there, can't remember his name, for about 7 years now. It's the 1 product I've always replaced with the same thing and never deviated from it (have Super Clean too but hasn't replaced it, other uses) I always mix it 3:1 and end up using it around the house more than for automotive use, LOL. It works GREAT in my Little Green machine for carpeted mats, BIG TIME. I've used on tires and wells with great success. As far as whom I respect, well, I'm watching one right here. Also, Scott from dpc, Forensic Detailing and Car Cleaning Guru! I have to add Phil from Auto-fanatic and Larry from AMMO NYC too!

Great video!

I love OPC. How often do you recommend on paint for a daily driver to remove road grime and stuff ph neutral soaps don’t remove? I’m thinking monthly, what do you think?

Will Optimum Power Clean strip Seal n' Shine if used at full strength?

Thanks I just bought a bottle to try last week. Love the Autogeek sales. On a different topic those shop lights in the video, what color temperature do you find helpful?

Wow this product is very versatile! Thanks for the info! Not related to this video but I really trust your opinion on products. Can you do a Meguiars Hybrid spray against DPC SIO2? I know you saw Scott’s video and I just don’t believe there is no SIO2 in the meguairs. They are a respectable company and don’t think they would lie. I could be wrong though. If there is truly no SIO2 in the megs then a test against DPC SIO2 would show that and prove Scott right. If you don’t want to I understand I just thought i would ask.

I seen somewhere it wasn't clear coat safe hmmm good to know tho iam going to use my bottle more often now

I really like your videos of products. Especially the durability aspect of your videos. Have you ever tried optimum spray wax?

Hello Brian, a great review like always... can this power clean remove sealant and wax from the paint? or need it something more strong.

Brian, you got to try shine supply solution. That stuff blows PC out the water I promise lol

How do both Power Clean and Multi X compare to each other and to Meguiars D101. D101 has been my staple APC forever now but I sometimes find it lacking potency sometimes. Both of these products seem more potent and capable at higher dilutions.

Niceee thanks for the video

curious if anyone has tried in a foam sprayer? was thinking of trying like how i use brake buster. i guess if it doesn't work i can just put in a spray bottle. 3 to 1 ratio maybe.

Hello great video! If you spray the paint on car down with power clean before doing a Rinseless wash with ONR, will you have to rinse the car down with water after using ONR. Will power clean residue stay behind? Video shows you spraying with power clean then Rinseless washing it with ONR but didn’t see you rinsing vehicle afterwards.

Good Afternoon Brian, How is the Qp on 2.0 holding up overtop of the Enigma AIO? It's been about 6mo. I haven't seen an update to see if the Enigma base affected it much or if the Qp on was holding strong? The Enigma AIO lasts about 6mo's protection typically on its own correct (depending on conditions of course)?

Does it have any scent to it? Thx

I'd like to see this compared to Ardex New Wave. I've found New Wave is good for many different jobs as well

Great video! How does it do on tough stains?

Stuff works well

Great video. Is this replacing Super clean and Spray Nine?

Could I use this as a strip wash? Like to strip sealant and waxed?

Ver good

I seen Ivan foam a whole car windows included at 3:1 do think that is safe on glass

Brian this was a great idea to show how you utilize the Optimum Power Clean as an APC! Now for the $50 question if your budget was tight and you were just getting your "feet" under you like I am with my "Detailing" business between the CarPro Multi-X and the Optimum Power Clean which would you choose as your go to APC to get the most bang for your buck! I have a gallon of 3D "Orange Degreaser" that I know is a good APC but knowing you use both of these APC's daily gives me the comfort zone that I don't have with the 3D Orange degreaser and I know that you have tried many APC's to get to the point where you are using these two in your video on a daily regular basis for so many cleaning aspects of your auto detailing business! Thanks again for your unselfish sharing of your long history of impeccable auto detailing experience and knowledge! :-) Mac Baker

Great video! I'm going to buy some. Have you tried any of the Nextzett products?

Let’s do a cheap vs expensive, super clean vs power clean. I know super clean is acid base, but if you’re using it for tires, rims and engine bay it should be ok diluted 4-1 or straight and for interior I would go 8-1. My question is, super clean goes for a gallon 9-11 bucks and power clean goes for 35-37 bucks gallon, is it worth it?

Do you wash and reuse that micro rag or throw it away after the tires?

I need advice on opening up a full detail shop. The starting point to ending point. Please reply.

I take it that this doesn't remove any coatings? I have watched Ivan on the Rag company channel enjoy what he has to say and share

Hi Brian, Sorry for all the questions but you have become my #1 Go To guy for detailing. I have used your recipe of Coldwater Tide on the interior followed up by a wipe down with a damp cloth. My son is a smoker and the Tide helped clean up his interior. Is Optimum Power Clean better on interiors than the Coldwater Tide? The only benefit I can observe from your video is you don't need to rinse off Optimum vs the Tide. Your thoughts?

Nice product. I think I like MultiX better. I've used both.

I'm very impressed with Optimum products. I just wish I had found it earlier before I spent hundreds of dollars on other brands. The people I work with don't mind though, because I've brought lots of them to work for them to have

Power Clean or Multi-X?

Ummm. You got it on the windows after saying you cant use it on windows.

Brian, I wonder why you would spend so much money for this product when a gallon of Super Clean runs $11 and can be diluted in the ratios you do with Optimum Power Clean. I know you are not being paid to push their products (which is why I respect your integrity and honesty). I'm a drive way detailer and have had great results with Super Clean on my metal cars and my Vettes. I would appreciate your comparison of the two products. Thanks for taking so much time from your business to share so much knowledge with us!
