Took a vid of Opti-Seal in action before I cleaned the car for another application (so freakin easy to use)
Video of Opti-Seal Vid - Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Beading is nice and tight as well

Opti-Seal has been doing a great job on both the mustangs rims and the fusions rims. It has noticeably cut back on brake dust and dirt/grime and clean up is easy thus far. It's been 3 weeks thus far for the mustang and it's still there beading and clean up is easy.
 
I still prefer the Zaino CS over it for no streaking and slicker initial feel, but both products do make a detailing session much easier when pressed for time.
 
My question is what nossle are you using to get such a wide spray with good amount of pressure?

Thanks for sharing, that is so cool!
I never had any streaking from the product.
 
Geeeeesh,, wish I could use a pressure-washer without getting a ticket here in GA!

Nice vid pal!

Applied a 2nd coat after washing and zero streaks again using a mf towel as per Anthony's method.
 
can you describe anthony's method of application?

So in short, apply OptiSeal liberally on a plush microfiber, don't worry about streaks on this first step. Then an hour or more later apply less OptiSeal but burnish the paint until nothing remains (burnishing doesn't mean you'll apply more pressure but that you're just increasing your speed a bit).

This is how I do it but I have yet to experience streaking during any steps.
Edit:Sorry I'm doing it something like this I keep getting lazy and skipping the 2nd part. I do try and varnish during the first step.

:iagree:How many coats do you have on your paint?
 
During the vid just 1 and I just put a second coat on. I haven't felt the need to do the second varnish part. I just do a section at a time with some speed to it and it comes out fine. Basically once I do the first coat and go inside, I got lazy every time and just never went back LOL. But I am varnishing it during the first step if that counts.
 
it looks better then i thought it would be. I notmaly top it with a wax so i dont know its sheating/beading abblities. Im still not blown away though, i think the wipe and walk sealents still need some improvements before they are upto par... JMO ofcourse
 
I love Opti-Seal myself! So easy to use, simply wipe it on and walk away.

Like what? I'm kinda liking the hard candy like shine it gives. I did my neighbors blazer yesterday (beige with a crap load of flakes) and the 10 min it took to do had a pretty good shine going with the flakes really popping (she loved it). I would like a slicker surface once applied myself.
