WOWA Product Q's

Ok, I just now figured out what "WOWA" even ment. Never knew they existed. Can someone give me a 411 cram course on this type of sealant/finish? Please. I can't believe how much has changed in 10yrs in this world of detailing. 10yrs ago I don't think MicroFiber was even heard of, if it was... not a lot of folks even knew what it was. I am eyeing this type of finish b/c of the time savings!! 15 minutes ago I'm looking at DG 105 and Mothers Reflections combined with DG AW and MSW. How do these products (wowa) hold up in the sun and elements? I'm assuming you can use them after a good wash each month? So... clay bar 2x/yr, wash every month and WOWA after each wash. ?? Man that would be a dream come true. :chuckle:





EDIT- Just visited Ultima's site. That's what I'm talking about, time saving. I noticed they have a paint cleaner instead of a clay bar. Which is a better bet, the Ultima or typical claybar kit?
 
When I use Ultima/Optiseal, I take a 16x16 towel, fold it in half, then fold it again. On a driver side door, for example, I spray 1 shot on the towel and start going over the paint. I go left to right, up and down and left to right again, making sure I don't miss a spot . Done. Thats what works for me to get pretty much no streaking with Ultima/Optiseal. You can use it after every wash if you want.
 
Looks like I'll stick with the regular clay bar, but am eager to try the Ultima sealant/finish. I think this might answer my time constraint issue also.
 
so now after all the debating and researching it's DG 105 & AW or Ultima. I like the time savings of the Ultima system. Never really need to wax the car.
 
I use a regular clay bar but have never used the Ultima offering.



And I see no reason to limit yourself to one option. You can never have enough LSP's.



I love UPGP. Its so easy, as you have mentioned, and super fast. I layer that stuff on after every wash.



AW also is a great spray wax, but its not quite as fast or durable in my opinion. I got AW awhile back and loved it, but its has almost been completely replaced by UPGP.
 
Anyone want to enlighten me as to what WOWA means? I can't find the definition in this thread, and I the Secret Decoder Ring doesn't tell me anything about it. The decoder ring also didn't show up when I searched titles for "decoder ring".

I just assumed it was WOWO, wax-on wax-off [away?]



Edit, just saw the previous post and that makes sense. Especially when the OptiSeal was used as an example.
 
From what i can gather, these wowo's have very little ingredients in them to enhance or beautify the paint. I used Opti seal over polished paint, leaving one fender undone. A day latter it didnt look any different then the rest of the vehicle.

well if you are wiping it off, that may be why. You said WOWO (which may just be a typo) but really, you just wipe the stuff on and walk away.



Even IF it didn't do anything for looks, Id sure want it there for the protection it offers.

Actually WOWA sealants have significantly higher active ingredient content than similarly easy (SOWO, aka Spray On Wipe Off) products such as QD and spray waxes/sealants.



Yes, some products can add depth, DOI, color depth, glow, etc. but ultimately, highly finessed, polished surfaces look the most honest. The best LSPs don't change that...
