    Does Opti-seal protect against UV yes or no???

    Thanks for sharing my reply Setec, just now saw the post. As far as interiors, that's an off book suggestion by one of our other reps. But it is safe to use on interiors and will help prevent staining and will not attract dust. It's also great to follow your window cleaning regimen with.

    BRS - Big Red Sponge

    The BRS is super soft and very durable...but, you will need to follow any foam wash media with a microfiber towel (either wet or dry) to make sure there is no dirt left on the paint before claying. I have had a few instances where I could not just go from no rinsed panel straight to claying when...

    Optimum power clean?

    I like keeping a gallon mixed up at the recommended 3:1 ratio for all exterior jobs. And for most interior jobs I just cut my premix 1:1 with water again making it 7:1. This keeps it simple for me. The only thing you need to be careful of is not to let the product run on leather and vinyl...

    Drying Aid with UV Protection?

    There won't be any issue using ocw as a drying aid other than the durability will be reduced because of the dilution with water. You can always dry and add a second coat, or if you use it at each wash interval as a drying aid you won't need to worry about longevity because you'll be adding it...

    Anybody work on a bmw from around 2007

    My daily driver is a jet black 335I. It was very hard to correct when I bought it, but maintenance has been pretty easy. This particular color is very hard.

    Why not use coatings?

    People used to lay down a sealant before a wax to add more durability as a combination. Now the sealant can be replaced with a durable and chemical resistant coating and still topped with a wax or instant detailer for that fresh look and satisfaction you get from maintaining your car. Just don't...
