Now that Optiseal has been out for a while what are your opinions of it. I'm thinking of getting some but it seems to be to easy to be true and I haven't seen that many posts about it.
How is the shine , longevity , slickness. depth .etc. ?

I have had it on my daily driver since the beginning of may. It still beads like crazy, has a nice crisp shine. I will be washing it this week, so I will see how the slickness is.

And I put it on my gf silver honda. I put pinnacle sig seriers II on first then the opti-seal. It made the sig seriers bling big time. Fast forward 2 months, had to go to body shop for work. They had to redo something, so it was washed twice. With there harsh soap. and it still beading nicely.
So longevity seems to be there.

I like that it's easy to use. And it's quite durable too. It will always have a place in my shelf. It's a nice product. :)

The shine, gloss, wetness is quite good, longevity is very good but slickness is ok. :)

use it very, very lightly ! More than 1 spritz per panel is too much and you might notice streaking on blacks, reds and other reflective colors.

Personally I don't that much for the Optiseal look so I have never tried it.

I agree......like i said.it's ok......it still in my opinion should be wiped down with a micro afterwards....

I have seen alot of posts on forums on both the Opt and Zaino wipe on walk away products....It did nothing for me...they either looked average or plasticy...

Now..and I bite my tongue saying this...but I have seen reviews on the new Ultima line... the paint prep and sealant combo....it looks very nice...its also a wipe on walk away product....I was very skeptical at first with the price on them...but..looking at the results was very impressive...much better than the other 2....

I am really contemplating pulling the trigger on them...and I was one who was not happy with the price of them...but the results is some thing to see...it looks much better on darks than light paints..

from what I have read these are not for a person who does a wax topper over a sealant..it takes away from the Ultima look and feel...

OptiSeal is one of the few products that I've bought and DIDN"T have buyers remorse. Like someone pointed out, a little bit goes a long way. IF you look at the price - and I've done 3 SUV's, 2 trucks, and 2 vans and the bottle still looks full, then the price per vehicle should come out to less than a buck a piece. Then, look at the ease of use ( after you figure out to use LESS than you think it needs) and add in the staying power and you have a product that delivers as promised. Now, some don't care for the look, but there're detailers ( I assume) and not Joe Customer that's blown away by a shiney new looking car.
