Opitmum Opti-Seal any good?

Has anyone ever tired Optimum Opti-Seal? To me it seems like a "too good to be true" product. Suggestions?

Yeah it's good. The best part is you can put it on any surface without worrying about residue, etc. It's just really easy. It doesn't bead as tightly as a lot of LSP's, which actually is a plus from a spotting standpoint.

Great product. If anything its underrated around here.

it seems that beading is used as a measurement of durability. if a product like opti-seal doesn't bead...how do you measure durability?

thanks for help on this...i'm asking because i used optiseal a few times. you use soooo little product, it seems counterintuitive with regards to protection.

It does bead, but I find that it sheets better than it beads. That's how you can tell.

so a different measure of water repellency...

Like many other things, a little goes a really long way.

Optimum Opti Seal is a great product, 3 coats on my car lasted Oct thru March. Looks great, I like the fact it sheets water better then it beads, it is so easy to use its crazy, works great on glass as well.

Opti-Seal, like other Optimum products, is phenomenal. It's incredibly easy to use and like others have said, a little bit goes a long way. Keep in mind that 1 ounce of product is enough to completely cover 4-5 vehicles. Use it properly and you can get up to 40 applications out of one 8 ounce bottle.

When using a fresh applicator or pad, prime the pad first with just one spray of Opti-Seal.

After that, one spray per panel is all that's needed. Generally for the hood of a midsize sedan you will use two sprays. After you spray the panel, move the applicator side to side and then up and down to ensure complete coverage. If you notice any streaking, you're using too much product.

Like others have mentioned, you can also use Opti-Seal on glass and wheels too.

It's that simple! You can completely do an entire midsize car in less than ten minutes.
