View Full Version : Thoroughly impressed with Optimum Wash & Wax

Through my automotive career, I've had access to just about everything except the permanent ceramic sealants. I've had waxes worth $$$, sealants worth the same... in the end, I was happy with a $40 bottle of Blackfire Wet Diamond and then even happier with a $15 sprayable bottle of Optimum Car Wax.

I used it on my car 6 months ago and have been using Optimum No Rinse Wash & Wax every week or two. My car looks and feels freshly detailed, always. It beads rain really well and the moment I start driving, the rain can't hang onto the slick paint. Wash & Wax and Car Wax both claim to have great UV protection, but I have to say I am skeptical as the car is too new to tell. However, after 6 months and many road trips to Arizona and back to California, I feel no need to do any sort of coating on my car due to how well the wash & Wax has maintained the finish.

I've always seen a Wash & Wax as an impossible feat to accomplish well, but I am very, very impressed.

Have you performed a baggie test lately? How does it feel?

No noticeable fallout on the paint or glass. The wheels need some clay and/or ironx, but those aren't too bad yet either!

Paint is smooth to the touch during the baggie test?

Yes it does, except for the trunk and rear bumper. Those both have a bit of grit if you really feel for it.

Edited! Sorry, I never really see the bottle so I misspoke.
