The use stuff up challenge... Prima vs OPT

[Texchappy]

Need to add some protection to my Astro Black MINI Cooper convertible. I have a couple of options to go with...

1. Prima Banana Gloss (and Slick to maintain)
— or —
2. OPT Optiseal & Spray wax (and OID to maintain)

I need to use both up so it’s a matter of which to use first. Or put another way, which will I use for a Texas summer coming up.

I have a trial pot of Dodo Juice wax (the hard one for white leftover from my old Jag) but don’t think summer is the time to use it.

OPT all day. Prima is awesome for use in direct sun and looks pretty damn good but it doesn’t last more than a month from what I remember.

So use the Opt in the summer and leave the Prima for winter.

I really wouldn’t even use Prima unless you like putting products on frequently.

I have it and don’t want to toss it. Maybe I’ll give it away.

Do you have lawn equipment, Tex? Riding mower, etc?

Why yes I do. Lol.

There you go.

I have the best-looking riding mower and snow blower in town because of my "disappointing" car care purchases.

Banana Gloss actually looks really nice. It just doesn’t last that long.

•Being that OCW [Optimum (Spray) Car Wax]:

“has the same UV blockers that’s in CC paint”
~Dr. G...

-it almost seems like it was specifically
formulated for the kind of Summers that
occur not only in Texas; but, as well as
other States that have similar subtropical
and (arid) desert climates.


•As an added bonus:
-Opti-Seal can be used as the ‘base coat’
under the Optimum Car Wax.


Hope this helps in making your paint
protection decision:

Need to add some protection to my

Or put another way, which will I use
for a Texas summer coming up.
