Optimum Spray wax with UV(Is it that good)

Only spray wax that I know of that has a UV patent.
 
I bought a gallon of this and have barely made a dent in it. I'm using it like other spray waxes and although the application is the same the durability is unparallelled.
While I like to use a sealant like Menzerna Power Lock or Collinite 845 for most of the car, I use this after every wash. It's especially good for tight areas and odd shapes like around your side mirrors, bumpers, and door trim, that is close to rubber.

Question about application

Do you dry the car first or use it as drying aid?
If you dry first, can I use something like optimum detailer for drying aid before ocw? Or would that mess with the wax?

I would defer to Chris as the expert on this issue but my experience is that all of the Optimum products play well together. I have used the detailer as a drying aid and then used the spray wax. Worked great for me.
 
For our instant Detailer you can use it as a drying aid, but the wax does need to be applied dry or almost dry. I frequently use it after my first drying pass when rinseless washing with ONR.
 
Wow - I'm going to have to pick some of this stuff up!
 
For those wondering how durable OCW is vs DG AW, Corey has a comparison of OCW with UQW, DG AW and Pinnacle Souveran Spray Wax in his Meguiar's Ultimate Quik Wax review - he has updates up to two months (in further posts in the thread). Quick summary is, OCW does a lot better than the other three products that were tested.

As mentioned in the thread, it's almost unfair to compare Optimum's Wax with other spray waxes, because although it's application and use is identical to a spray wax, it's not a topper or gloss enhancer product, it's just "their wax".
I would never use a conventional spray wax as an LSP. But I would with Optimum.

So is it okay to dry with OID then use OCW or should I look to dry/partially dry without the aid of something that could affect OCW.

Thanks,

That's right. It is not only OK, but because our line works well with each other you will see better performance from both.
 
I just ordered OPC. I haven't used it since 2012. Been a while.

Just curious, any reason why Optimum has not ventured into the Si02/Graphene spray wax market? It seems other than their coatings, they only have the one spray wax.

Hmmm… Déjà vu, all over again.

Pete and Repeat were sitting on a log.
Pete fell off.
Who was left sitting on the log?

Wow.

Funny this old thread was revived. I just did an OSW application on the Ram yesterday afternoon.

(2 of the days of my 3 day weekend were raining, so it was all I could squeeze in).

I am still in love with OSW. Application is a breeze (it does not streak when applied as directed), smells good, and lasts a long time for a spray wax. (Up to 2 1/2 weeks IME).

Nothing that would amaze you, but it does bead water.

It's the UV protection that gives me peace of mind until I can polish and get my LSP on.

(Like I said above, it was raining this past weekend, and also on Memorial Day weekend here. My two shots at a full detail foiled, Lol)
 
They do have Hyper Seal if you want some ceramic. It can be found on their opti-coat website. Not a wax obviously but a sealant.
