I just used Opti Seal for the first time. One of the things that attracted me to it was it's reported ease of use. Not exaggerated in the least... it literally disappears when you wipe it on leaving a stunning shine. No buff-off required but I dare you to try and resist. As advertised a little goes an incredibly long way. There's no doubt in my mind that little 8 oz bottle will do 30 - 40 cars.

The other thing that I was looking for was that Zaino-like garish... some say artificial... shine. It's pretty tough to make white look exceptional but Opti Seal does the trick. It imparts that "pop" that's so elusive on white.

Reports on OS longevity aren't so good, some are saying 4 - 6 weeks tops. I've been an 845IW devotee for a lot of years and love it's insane beading and longevity as well as the incredible ease of use. After consulting with Dr. G at Optimum as well as the folks at Collinite I topped the OS with 845 after allowing 48 hrs for the polymers to crosslink. The result truly took my white finish to another level. I've got an insane shine as well as depth and longevity which was everything I was looking for that I was unable to find in a single product.

A few things I noticed... OS produces small, tight, symetrical beading after application. After driving home in the rain 24 hrs after OS application the finish was clearly in need of a wash with splatters and dirt spots everywhere. 845 doesn't do that... for the first few months after application a drive in the rain and 845 doesn't appear dirty. Another of the attributes I enjoy, it's almost like dirt doesn't want to stick to it.

I was always a wax man... didn't start exploring sealants until a year or so ago. Many look to sealants for longevity vs carnauba. With 845's longevity I never was interested in that aspect. But after trying numerous sealants OS is the one that gave me the look I wanted.

Now for the Meg's plug... I hadn't driven the vehicle for a few days after finishing the exterior detail and it had collected a light layer of dust in the garage, I pulled out a bottle of #40 Final Inspection I just picked up for a look-see. The wipe-off was so slick I almost slipped and broke my arm! Incredible stuff that'll be replacing all the other QDs.

Thanks for the great response TL. Seems like a smart buy, or your just on heck of an Opti salesmen!

Not hardly, I just found the product I'd been looking for and call it like I see it. Most of my detailing cabinet is full of Meg's stuff, both Professional and Consumer grades. It's the most comprehensive line of products I'm aware of. Now if they'd just get get some smaller pads on the market...

Opti Seal is really good. I've used it for a while now. Good on glass and trim.
