    Re: Opti-Seal as drying aid

    addysdaddy, the point I was making is why dry the car and then apply when you can "save a step". Just 1 spray per panel and dry as you normally would and the results are just as good!

    I found it to save me 5-10 minutes per car which is money in the bank!

    Re: Opti-Seal as drying aid

    Understood but wn1998 - aren't u diluting the OptiSeal and therefore diminishing it's effectiveness by applying it to wet surface?

    I use it for my personal vehicles, I dont do this as a biz. But yes, I have coatings on my vehicles, plus a half dozen different spray this or thats on them.

    Opti seal keeps the paint as clean as a sio2 spray as well I think.

    The logic is for when you already have an LSP and want to add something to it while helping yourself dry the car. Its not to fully protect the car as you are thinking of. Its in addition.

    I'm going to give this a try. I've got plenty of Opti Seal and BFCS. When you get the 8 oz bottle the stuff does a lot of cars. It's really not very expensive if you are doing 1-2 sprays per panel.

    Re: Opti-Seal as drying aid

    Opti-Seal has been around for quite
    awhile now; and, even though it does
    seem to be able to flash at a near
    blazing speed, once it hits the intended
    surfaces to be sealed; it still amazes me
    that it can be used as a "drying-aid".

    RE: Opti-Seal as a drying aid
    -Does this blow the notion of:

    "having to keep Sealants high
    and dry, while they are curing"


    clean-outta-the-water (pardon the pun)?!?!

    effects on its polymerization processes?
