XMT 360 Spray Wax vs. Optimum Car Wax

[toycar18]

There has been a ton of reviews about XMT 360 Spray Wax thanks to AG and there awesome contests! Everything has been very positive.

I recently got Optimum Car Wax and was blow away how easy it was to apply with no wiping afterward. A very impressive, effective and easy to use product.

For those of you that have used both XMT 360 Spray Wax AND Optimum Car Wax - HOW DO THEY COMPARE?

Enquiring minds want to know....... :hungry:

PS - I have some Pinnacle XMT 360 Spray Wax in route to me and I will be performing a test sometime next week.....:props:

Pending durability, as I have only had 360 on for a little over a week, the 360 is a solid contender vs OPT.

[toycar18]

Can you elaborate why?

[Jeff120]

Pretty much what mine and all the reviews you read. Easy to apply, no streaking, slick, and leaves a great gloss. I just cant comment on the durability as I just started using it. I havent ever used OPT as a stand alone but I do noticed increased beading after applying it.

I have used both products for a while now, both are very good products, but I cannot deny the cost savings for Optimum at the gallon level.

Optimum spray wax by a landslide when compared to XMT.

Its this simply because of cost?

Is this the new formula or old formula XMT?

I just put another coat of the XMT 360 on after my ONR and ggggooooodddddnnnnneeessss it looks fabulous. I love that stuff....fittin to get it by the gallon.

IMHO, Optimum edges out both old and new XMT.
It is not close when comes to price though. XMT is $16 per 12oz.
Optimum is $40 per 128oz or $3.75 per 12oz.

Yeah...I agree when it comes to price...the 128oz of OCW is $30 cheaper. But have you actually used the XMT 360? That $70 price tag on the XMT360 is definitely not appealing. But if the OCW is same as far as looks and performance, I may switch.

Awhile as in a week? It just came out.

[RFulmer]

Wouldn't a gallon of either last like 5 years on one car? I found out the hard way to not buy gallons of anything except detail spray, apc, shampoo, or waterless wash. It just takes me too long to use it up. I guess if you were doing it for a living that would be different.

To clarify, I meant using the old formula XMT for a while.

Yes, if not longer. I figure I use about half an ounce per application; if I use it weekly, a gallon of spray wax would last me for just under 5 years. Since I don't use a spray wax weekly (every second or third week), that would mean ten to fifteen years worth of product in a gallon!
