So far I have use ONR with great results. What are your opinions on their other products?
 
shampoo is the best! It works well in a foam gun, and even better in a bucket! SO much foam! Protectant plus (leather protectant) is another very nice one, one of the best. Tire dressing, liquid, and gel work very well too! Love Optimum polish, poli-seal, and Opti-Seal!!!
Simply one of the best lines AG carries!
 
I like soaps that leave a really nice gloss. Does it leave a really nice shine like 1z or DG901 ? Suds is a side show.
 
Opti Seal, Protectant Plus, Car Wax and ONR are all great

DG foams up better then 1Z, while optimum foams up even better then DG, and I love it! Cleans well, leaves a glossy finish.
 
Opti-seal a big disappointment. Applied Collinite 845 wax on a silver 04' 4Runner and the Collinite produced a better shine than the optiseal. For the money spent on Opti-seal, it was a waste. I recommend you buy Collinite 845 for the same results for shine!

I am considering returning it to Autogeek.
 
I use the spray wax and Optiseal alot....very good products.

You can use the Optiseal over the Collonite to seal in for extra durability and locking in the good looks. That said, use it quite sparingly as I always get some streaking.
 
my favorite line. i have yet to use the polishes however i have tried everything else. not a single dud in the lineup imho.
 
I have and use OPT No-Rinse, OPT Power Clean, OPT Car Wax, and OPT Poli-Seal. I'm actually in the middle of polishing my G35 Coupe with Poli-Seal and a white pad using my PC7424. Poli-Seal is so so so impressive when used with a polisher.

Good point, and I will take that into consideration.

How do you think this would fair on a darker color car, like a dark silver car? I'm thinking maybe the Opti-Seal would look better on darker color cars as opposed to lighter color cars.

One good redeeming point, you apply it and be done with it. No buffing! However, for half the price, Meguiar's Ultimate Quick Wax gives nearly the same results but has an added step of buffing. Bottom line, I guess I expected more. Maybe I'm being too critical.

I was under the assumption that you could top a sealant with a wax, but not the other way around. Wouldn't a coat of wax inhibit a sealant's ability to bond?

Funny you should ask, as I was wondering the same thing when I placed my order. The customer care rep at Autogeek said to apply the wax first, and that is what I did. When I asked if it could be done the other way around, he said he didn't see any reason why not. So I guess it's personal choice, either way *should* yield good results, but that was not the case on the silver 4runner I helped detail yesterday. You have to try out both methods to see what works best for you and your car's finish.
 
I use Optimum products along side my Meguiars products.
ONR is great, and Poli-Seal is one of a kind AIO. While it doesn't have much in the way of cut as say M151 or M66, it does have what would apprear to be a chemical cleaning ability. It is by far the easiest product I've ever used, it just disappears when you use it, doesn't stain trim and works well on trim and glass.
The Car wash is very good as well, super foamy and slick. All of the polishes have a very long working time and dont dust. I'm thinking about getting a bottle of the Finish polish, wondering how it would differ from Poli-Seal.

Opti-Seal is a very nice product. Keep in mind that wipe on walk away products won't give you Fuzion looking shine, but will give you some decent durability with an easy application. I really like sealing wheels with it - wipe on, walk away. No more stained MF towels (that is less stained towels, still getting stains on towels that I dry wheels with).
 
What are people's experience with the new Optimum Finish Polish? How does it compare to the finish polishes of other lines, e.g., Megs' 205?
