Ok, I like it.


I used WAY too much but I do like it. 

Did the wife's care after a wash and whip down.  Interested to see how it does on darker colors.

Thanks for visiting the Cafe, come back often.  There's always something new!

Interesting RR. I like several of the Optimum products, but this one didn't excite me much. I only have a small sample... maybe I should revisit it.

Allow me to expound on that a little.  I like it...but I didn't use it correctly and I think it did provide addtional gloss to white.  More reflective if you will. Maybe it's just me.

I too had a small sample bottle I got from Steve at Tropi-care a LONG time ago.  I ended up giving that to Ryan b/c i wasn't so sure about it myself. 

just wanted to try a few more Optimum products so I got it to have it.

This sounds like Zaino clear seal. I've been using that in my arsenal since it came out.

Try the spray wax!  I'm addicted... just bought a gallon from Justin along with a 12-pack of towels.

I'll throw my hat into the ring on the spray wax too. Boss turned me onto it earlier this year. Awesome stuff!

Yep, I need to revisit it, as I may have hasty in my evaluation. To be fair, I was doing a side-by-side-by-side visual comparison with two other extremely good sealants (Zaino and Klasse SG). So, it had some strong competition.  ;D

As for the Optimum Spray Wax... one of my favorite products! As a matter of fact, on both of my vehicles, I do my heavy duty spring detail, and apply a couple of coats of a decent sealant as a base. Then, I simply use Optimum Spray Wax in my drying process or after drying for the remainder of the detailing season, or until the vehicles need another substantial paint detail.

Guys,

Not sure if this is the same stuff thats in that blue bottle above, but if it is that looks like a good price.... Only one though!! I've never used this stuff so figured I'd pass it along in case someone had some money to burn  ;D

I really don't know what changed but, that is last years' formula.  Honestly, I bet it's great stuff and, at $24 for a gallon (and we're bitching about paying $4 / gallon for gas!! LOL!)) it looks like a greate deal.

I don't remember what changed either, but it's still great stuff and a great price.

Optimum Car Wax is one of my favorites as well. It's quick and easy to apply and gives a very nice look. I just got gallons of Poli-Seal and Optimum Car Wax in and just need to update my website.

I just placed an order on your website this morning too.  I ordered the spray bottle of Optimijm Car Wax, among other things, to replace my current bottle that is running low.  I really wanted something more than the spray bottle but didn't know it was available.
