Re-applying Sealant after every wash?

What YMM BMW do you have? If it is a ss red my guess would be an E30 or early E36...

Yea, it's a '93 325is in Brilliantrot. I think it was an e30 color that they carried over before they decided on Hellrot. The only other ss e36 paints were dakar yellow and mugellorot I believe.

Once the summer show / cruise season is over, I do plan on treating the most sensitive panels, the roof and hood, with Opti-Coat. I'll do a new thread with some pics when the time comes. There hasn't been any info here on OC with SS paint, and Dr. G cautions that the results may vary dependent on the paint condition, but considering the effort I've put into my paint over the past years, I'm going to take a chance.

Thanks for the link, and I'll keep an eye out for the Opti-Coat results. Im curious to see how it works out. I read the little Q&A with Dr. G on it with ss paints also. Your El Camino looks great! All the time spent on it definitely payed off.

It isn't very slick @ all.

The results that you dsescribed are exactly how I'd descripe the sealant too.

Glossy, easy to apply, but not very slick.

I'm OK with not being slick, as long as it looks great, and has decent durability for a spray sealant.

I found the sealant to be fairly slick but does drop off but the spray is just not that slick. I will evaluate ease of cleaning and rinsing which is more important to me.
