Optimum, it ain't half bad!

A few shots of OCW beading on the CTS after a rainy day in the NE. I'll take this over an express/booster wax any day of the week.
 
It is an express wax in the fact that it sprays on rather than traditionally applied and removed by hand/polisher. Beading /protection didn't seem quite long lived for me at the time :dunno
 
My car made it 6 weeks sitting outside 24/7 in all the rain that we have had with very good beading and some slickness left to it. I have since applied other products that I'm testing so I don't know how much longer it would go.

I believe the NXT spray wax is a close clone of Optimum spray wax.


No. The NXT spray wax is best applied with a foam applicator, left to haze then buffed off with an MF. (two step process and more time consuming). I like both products. The NXT leaves a brighter shine or brings back the NXT Tech Wax "pop" as some like to say. The Optimum is a quick way to a nice slick, shine although not as nice as the NXT IMO. The tradeoff is OPT is really quick for good results and some added protection.
