I was very excited to use the opc... So the first thing I did was mixing a bottle of 1:8 and tried it on the marks underneath the hood... I can see that the opc is working on the stains breaking down them down from the direct spray on. However, that ratio didn't work well on the stubborn stain and so I stepped up the ratio to 1:5. Slight improvement but still not quite what I was expecting. I tried one spray right from the original bottle itself to see how it work and to my surprise, it did pretty well! However, I find that it could not remove the yellowish paint (white car) resulted from prolong negligence on the paint even though it managed to clear off the stains...

Alright, here's my 4 solo rambo hours to get the months long water spots off my white ride... it was ridiculously hard to remove the tight hinges and runs...
