Has anyone compared these two products?



I am definitely intrigued by the idea of having a spray on wax/sealant, as this will make it much easier to maintain the protection and shine on my cars. So, I am looking for advice between these two products (and will take other recommendations as well).



I find it interesting that the Optimum has both carnauba and a sealant mixed together. The Detailers Pride product appears to be a pure sealant.



Opinions appreciated.
 
I can't even get the Spray Shield since they are having issues shipping it into California. I have optimum spray wax, but have yet to use it. Seeing how you live in California too, i doubt you will be able to get any sent to you, so you are limited to OSW.
 
I've used both products.



For ease of use, OCW wins hands down because application and removal is so effortless. DP's hazes as you spread it around and takes more effort to remove. Not excessive force to remove, just not the QD ease of OCW.



DPs SS has a more hard, wet, clear look, very much like a sealant. OCW has more of a liquid glow. On lighter colors and metallics, I could go with either, on dark colors, I prefer OCW. Durability seems similar, a few months on a daily driver.



BTW, DP's SS works very well over their Premium Surface Shield, seems to really intensify the look. :)
