    Hydro 2 vs opti seal

    I just bought the big bottle of hydro 2 because of the good reviews and ease of use. This is just for my daily drive. But opti seal looks like it might even be better. You would save on the water bill. What are your opinions. I've used hydro i like it. I haven't used opti seal

    Two different applications. I feel like Hydro2 will last longer, and you cannot beat the ease of application.

    OOS is just like all the other WOWA sealants. Looks are okay and durability is average. (I only got 2-3 months in normal weather.) I like WGDGLS and BFCS better than OOS. Both look better and last longer in my experience.

    H2 is IMO easier and quicker. But the cost per application is more.

    The water bill is not a factor in my decision because of the time savings. IMO H2 is great for a detailer selling a wash & Seal because time is money or the hobbyist that wants to reduce the touching of the paint.

    How would you save on your water bill since both products needs a clean surface? Opti Seal is a wowa product...good booster for Opticoat Pro and Optigloss.

    Do you have to use a high pressure blast of water to activate OOS? If no, there's your water savings.

    wow, for the price of hydro2, seems like it's best just to buy some consumer coating like super duper slick Gloss-Coat and coat the damn thing!

    they claim 3 months of durability, Opti-Seal claims 5 or 6, i forget. i have no experience with Hydro2. i have tons of experience with Opti-Seal. i never could confirm extended durability because i never left my car alone for long enough to see, but imo it's brainless to apply, a CRAZY value as a little goes such a long way...and it's crystal clear.

    and as mentioned it's a wild topper for the old Opti-Coat formulas if you are into that super duper slick scene...but now that Gloss-Coat is out, not sure why anyone wouldn't just get that because it's almost....ALMOST....as easy to apply as Opti-Seal and it's so slick...and has a two year durability claim.

    Hydro2 is a neat concept but again why not just coat it and forget it. Gloss-Coat is so easy.

    Re: Hydro 2 vs opti seal

    I'm not that concerned about water but our water bill can get pretty high. So not needing to rinse opti seal was the point. Since it doesn't sound like it doesn't compare to hydro 2 then i got the answer i was looking for

    Frank...

    •Which of these two Sealants...Dilemma, or no?

    •Recently:
    -You brought up in an earlier thread of yours that you were
    concerned about seeing faint/mild swirl marks in your vehicle's paint under certain shady-lighting conditions.

    •With that in mind...and IMO:
    -Optimum Poli-Seal would be a most useful AIO in rectifying the mild swirling situation; and be an excellent synergistic base-product for:
    -Optimum Opti-Seal Sealant


    Hurrah!! Both "problems" solved!!
