collinite 845 vs. opti-seal

[House of Wax]

I've been using 845 for an LSP for awhile now and just recently picked up some Opti-Seal over the holiday weekend to try out. Anybody that's used both have any comments on comparing the two as far as looks and durability (especially the durability part)?

For me 845 produced a brighter, crisper look. I have had 845 last all winter here in ohio 5-6 months. My issue with 845 is that I found that ONR washes degraded it exponentially faster and could almost wipe it away in a months or so. So I changed to regular washes and UWWP.


OOS is a nice sealant. It gave me more of a wet look on my car. IMO the beading on OOS is a little looser than I care for but it is fine since I want the protection. As far as durability I got 2-4 months. The thing with OOS is that it is so easy to apply I could do my car in 15min post wash and be done, especially if your wash with ONR.

I have 845, OS old formula, OS current formula, and use them extensively.

Durability:
They have similar durability.

Application:
OS is WOWA.
845 needs to be wiped off, but it is still very easy provided you use it correctly.

Look:
it is all in the prep they look 99% similar.

Variety is spice of life.
Consider they are not expensive, they will be always in my arsenal.

I really like the 845, but I picked up the OOS more or less to save some more time (and to try something new lol)

I like the 845 and use it on winter details. I really looks nice and last throughout the winter here in Western NC.

Opti-Seal is one of my favorite products. The ease of use and looks are excellent. Durability is around 2-5 months depending on how the vehicle is cared for, but if you are seeking longer than that it's time to step up to a coating anyway.
