Zaino Clear Seal VS Optimum Opti-Seal

[Jay Slay]

Gents...



I am looking to purchase a WOWA sealant for when I detail some of my family's rides. As much as I love them, I would rather spend that precious time putting on a fresh layer of carnuba wax on my beast. :spot



SO. It is coming down to the Zaino VS Optimum. Does anyone have any first hand use with both products that can offer some feedback? Thanks in advance!

I have both and pretty much only use OptiSeal. The Clearseal is very sterile and adds nothing to paint in my experience.

Why no mention of UPGP?

On light colors and metallics ZCS seems to look a little better to me. On all other colors, Optimum excels.



I've used both and if I had to pick I'd go with the Optimum. Has a little warmer look to it, very intense and "true" color from it, doesn't mute metallic, had nice durability.



Opt. is also a touch cheaper...which always helps.

Excellent. Sounds like we have a winner! :thx

+1 OS, UGPG is too pricey in comparison.

Both are good products. CS gives a candy coated shell look on light colors.

I've been really impressed with Opti-seal. Use very little and try a microfiber applicator.

After a good polish of my chrome wheels I use the ZZZ. Otherwise OS on paint.

I have both and use both at least once a month.



OS has a deep wet look, and Z-CS has a sharper image. I have never tested durability.

I really like OptiSeal a lot.



I have not used Clear Seal, but I do agree with the comments above that OptiSeal might not be the best on lighter colors like Metallic Silver.

I have both. Both are great products, but Zaino for me has much better durability.

I I have never tested durability.

Both last about the same for me over equal prep, side by side.

I have Optiseal on the way..Looking forward to testing it out

Seems like Optiseal is a winner. I wouldn't be surprised. I just bought OPP and OCW. I'm about to buy a gallon of both really soon (actually another gallon of OPP, this stuff is great!)

is it ok to apply opti-seal or zaino cs on windows?

I applied OS to the windows with no adverse effects. Surprisingly they turned out streak free and they bead pretty good too. I have never tried Zaino CS.



I also have good experience with AquaWax on windows.

I did get my Opti-Seal yesterday. I had previously used Clear-Seal on my wifes white Volvo. After testing Opti-seal today, in my humble opinion, Optis-Seal looks better and provides better gloss/wetness than Clear Seal. MY white Volvo never looked better. Pick: OptiSeal

Opti-Seal hands down
