Thrifty Vs Fifty Ep 2 : Optimum Power Clean vs LA`s Totally Awesome (Tire Cleaner)

[ihaveacamaro]

Hey guys, this is the second episode in a series of videos I`m making called Thrifty vs Fifty.

Essentially I`m comparing two products that can do the same function: one with a low price tag and the other with a high one... and to see if the added price is worth it. Hence, the thrifty vs fifty.

I`m not just going around finding the cheapest and most expensive options out there and comparing them. In my eyes, that comparison would be useless. I am comparing two products that people on forums have highly recommended for a certain task and then if they have big enough different price points, making a video comparison.

Today`s episode is on tire cleaners. LA`s Totally Awesome vs OPC at a 1:3 dilution!

So without further ado, here is the video:



Thrifty Vs Fifty Episode 2



LA`s Totally Awesome:

$6 dollars



OPC:

$36 a gallon



Conclusion:

Both products work extremely well. OPC cleaned a bit better and a bit faster.

Advantage:

LA`s Totally Awesome gets the advantage nod from me, because even though it may deliver a bit less performance, the price being $30 cheaper outweighs that.

Furthermore, a higher dilution of LATA might overcome the performance difference, but I have not done any tests on that...


Hope you guys enjoyed

In case anyone was interested, here was the thread with my first review:

Tried another test:

LA`s Totally Awesome straight from the bottle matched OPC 3:1 and also Tuf Shine Tire Cleaner straight... just food for thought

It did however take 3 applications of LA`s Totally Awesome to get to a white lather once again though. I imagine OPC and Tuf Shine taking less applications.


On the other hand, OPC and Tuf Shine Tire Cleaner did smells worlds better than LATA... and I noticed that LATA overspray in my face causes me to cough. Not very user friendly for sure.
