Optimum Protectant Plus is another innovative product from OPT that
cleans, restores, and protects leather surfaces, vinyl surfaces, and moldings.
Optimum Protectant Plus has a balance of cleaners, penetrating oils, and UV
inhibitors that restores the original color of these surfaces, protects against
and hides any scratches, and protects against sun damage.
Just like automotive paint which has undergone major changes in technology,
automotive leather and vinyl surfaces have also improved considerably in the
past decade. Nearly all automotive leather surfaces are treated with special
chemicals that provide resistance to scratching and marring, increase their
durability, and provide protection from weathering. The chemistry of vinyl surfaces
has improved dramatically as well to give these surfaces leather look and leather
feel. The vinyl surfaces are also treated with similar chemicals as those used
for automotive leather to increase their durability and to provide protection
from weathering.
These protective chemicals are lost over a period of a few months. Optimum
Protectant Plus cleans these surfaces and replenishes the protective chemicals
while adding UV protection to these substrates. Most leather or vinyl protectants
in the marketplace leave an oily film behind on these surfaces which gives them
a glossy look and an slick feel. Since these products are not absorbed into
these surfaces, they last a few days and mainly act as a dust magnet.
Optimum Protectant Plus keeps leather supple and helps reduce cracking of vinyl
and leather surfaces, as well as reducing scratching and marring. Optimum Protectant
Plus penetrates and adheres to these surfaces; therefore, it does not make these
surfaces oily or slick and provides lasting protection. Optimum Protectant Plus
also works great on the outside trims and moldings. These are just some of the
reasons why Optimum Protectant Plus is preferred by many detailing professionals.
