Good topper for Opti Seal?

FirstRate said:
I would disagree. Opti-Seal generally has a longer expectancy than your average wax. Therefore, when the wax fails you'll have a Opti-Seal left for the long-term protection. It's similar to the earth's crust :D, you have the easily disposable top soil (wax) and the strong clay base (sealant) underneath. I wouldn't comfortable applying Opti-Seal on a wax anyway, I imagine it wouldn't bond as well. Personally, I feel a top grade carnauba glow provides much more eye candy than Opti-Seal any day.

The original poster made the reference to 476, so the assumption is thats the route hes probobly going to take. And 476 will arguably outlast anything mentioned here on Autopia, wax or sealant. So 476 would be your "earthly crust" and Opti-seal your "Top Soil". Im surprised as often as you have used 476, you have not seen the durability of this top soil.
 
So you can use OS over PS and it seems maint. can be provided by add'l layers of OS or OCWv2 , between washes .



Can you put OS over OCW ?
 
More OptiSeal is your best bet. Only way you will ever use it up is too keep using it....and why not since nothing is any easier to use and it looks great. Just my $0.02.

You are being far too kind Scott...grackles and starlings, they should all be eliminated as they serve no purpose....I blame Shakespeare.



Good to hear that the OS holds up well to bird droppings, I used it recently for the first time, I don't think the application of an LSP gets much easier than Optiseal.

Hey is this stuff really $25 for 8oz ??????????? That nuts !! Yes I may find it a few bucks cheaper online someplace , but I'm not worried about a few bucks. Why does that seam insane for such a little bottle , seems with layering it you go through it pretty quick .
 
1 or 2 sprays a panel, it goes a heck of a long way mate.

Its a bargain at twice the price and I should know because thats how much more we pay in the UK.

A little goes a long way, less than 1/4 oz does the whole car. Nuts? Spending 2 grand on a paste wax is nuts. Actually, in todays market, with LSP'S continuing to rise at an alarming rate, $25 seems like a bargain to me. Or You could go spend $200-$500 on a new paste wax, which seem to be everywhere.

You should easily get 100+ applications from an 8 oz bottle.

Scott , so how much would you spray on a door panels for instance . I'm going to place another order with them so just wondering if it's worth it. .
 
seems like just do a few layers of OS. i went and checked my local harbor freight and they didnt have collinite on sale. time to do some winter prep!

I don't spray it on the car, I lightly mist it on a Meguiars foam hand applicator to apply. Nowhere near a full pump of spray. If it isn't clearing out in seconds, you are using too much.

I've probably used Opti-Seal about 10 or so times (applications). The read arrow signifies how much I'm down to:

I'm not doubting you at all , but how the hell can you get coverage with that ?? It seems impossible to use only that much for 10 apps. !



Does this haze up ? is there wiping after ? I guess I'm missing something
