So...... why is Opti seal so wonderful? Because it's easy to apply I'm assuming? Idk, it doesn't save that much time does it? When applying a liquid sealant, it's easy to see where you've already applied it. With opti seal I feel like it would be easy to miss a few spots.
It's also not that difficult to buff off a sealant, sure it takes a little time, but still.

Idk, I think I'm actually going to hold off on Opti Seal, I just don't see it worth it. Especially for the price and the little amount that comes with it. Just my $.02.

On the other hand, I usually by everything when it first comes out, lol.

I asked the same question about knowing whether you are getting full coverage. From the answer I got I assumed you can see where you have applied it until it evaporates. I am going to give it a whirl soon. I think it will be more of a time saver for big trucks or suvs. We will see. I also sound like a little bit goes a long ways and you should get many applications from the bottle.

I'M VERY SKEPTICAL TILL THE REVIEWS COME IN. .......BUT I'M IN A FAVORABLE FINANCIAL SITUATION SO I'M GOING FOR IT WITH AN OPEN MIND.......ALSO THE OPTIMUM PRODUCTS TO ME HAVE ALWAYS BEEN TOP RATED......WITH THAT SAID........IM STILL SKEPTICAL OF A WALK AWAY APPLICATION SEALER ............

Zaino's CS leaves a light hologram effect, that disappears as it dries. It also gets very slick to the touch, I suspect similar here.

if at all possible i would like to see one of those great sample videos autogeek has with some of their product lines. cause 8oz bottle suppose to do 30-40 cars is hard to believe. the write up in the store says 1oz will do 4-5 cars. i really have to see that to believe it. if you break that down that is .25oz per car. it is hard to take in that that little amount can cover an entire car.

 

[ScottB]

I can tell you from experience with the CS product, it is possible. quite possible. You literally use about a spritz or two per panel. It is my hope that the Opti-seal is much more glossy as pics show. Here are some from another forum.

I know it sounds impossible but I actually did it. I pumped close to 200 pumps of one of my beta sealants into a measuring cup and 200 pumps is very close to one liquid ounce.

I can cover a Porsche in about 10 pumps.....give or take a few.....that means I am able to do a crap load of Porsches with only 8 ounces.

If you think $25 is expensive for only 8 ounces then you have not done the math. One $25 bottle can last the average 2 car family several years if they only applied it once every 6 months.

I think opti seal is more of an advance in current sealant technology...you will find that probably all the manufacturers of sealants will probably jump on this and produce a version of their own no wipe sealant..and eventually all sealants will be "no wipe"....it is a better technology period...why would you buy a product that does the same thing but is more work? for those of you wondering "what is the big deal?"...try detailing 5 cars in one day...if you think its no big deal to wipe down a sealant (which all the good ones are very easy to wipe off) try doing it after already detailing even 2 or 3 cars....its all about consolidating steps...i look at opti-seal as a great time saver...even mxt360/poli-seal/PwS are great one steppers that have helped out detailers skip an entire 20 minute step...it also makes car detailing more desireable to the non-autogeek crowd that are just is happy to put a coat of wax on their car and they call that "detailing"...just wipe on and walk away for a showroom shine...kinda hard to beat that kind of marketing...and yes...it works....a detailing friend was one of the beta testers and his scion tc still looks great after a couple months...and for those who think that the product useage is unrealistic...i used to be a Zaino-head...1/2 and ounce of the stuff was enough to do my entire Z...and still do the entire hood and trunk a second time...so the 1/4 ounce of a sealant to do an entire car is not unrealistic...

The only paint corecting done to the Denali was with the Poli-Seal and a dual action polisher. In the sun you can still see some light scratching in the finish.
I did this truck for my neighbor in a pinch.

The key to this product is the prep. It will give you gloss. But will highlight imperfections as well.

Talking to David today he told me that he sold and shiped all the new Sealant!

 

[Anthony Orosco]

Opti-Seal appears to be a product a lot of people (and distributors) have been waiting for because, as TXRcon noted, It's sold out!

This is a good sumary, sounds like this product is worth giving a try.

Thanks for sharing your experiance.

It still looks good for being done in a pinch! I remember seeing the other pics and you could see some light scratching. I am going to have time to work with my paint so we will see how that goes.

If Opti-Seal is similar to Z-CS it it will be a winner. The hardest thing with ZCS is to "see" where you've applied it and go thin. I spritz a panel, then wipe/spread it, then lightly go to-fro on horizontals, up down on verticles. It is super easy to apply. Some areas may have a "rainbow"/hologram look, but in 15-30 minutes it self levels and disappears. Any spot hazing easily can be QD'd out. I've use ZCS to top XMT360, AJ, Z5/Z2, and cured carnauba. As orngez said, many manufacturers will be looking at this techinolgy, if they are not already.
