Compatibility issues?

**Shakabruddah808** · 07-26-2012, 12:08 PM

I plan on using (almost) all Optimum products: ONR, Hyper Polish and OCW. Of course the recommended claying and with Trix thrown in for good measure. OCW has some great reviews, but I'm still not totally sold on the idea of a spray wax as a long-term LSP, so was thinking of going with 845 as the base, with OCW as a topper/booster/maintenance wax.

Has anyone had any compatibility issues with 845 and Optimum products? Do they work well together?

Some folks have said that ONR.doesn't play well with 845. I've not experienced this, and have had no problems with compatability. That being said, from here on in I'm ditching the 845 and going opti-seal + OCW.

ONR at QD dilution seems like it wants to streak over 845. A few extra wipes with a clean MF and it's golden though.

I was thinking along the same lines. I'd hate to make a purchase only to find out two products don't work well together. And I was considering Opti-Seal too. I'll have to do more research on that one.

I guess 845 is so strong that it repels almost anything....OPT products as well, it seems.
Thanks for all the helpful insights!

For what it's worth, I'd go for Opti-Seal and OCW myself (I was one of those who had issues with ONR and 845, though that was with ONR v2 - I haven't tried v3 yet). If you really want to go with Collinite, personally I'd pick 915 - I think it looks better than 845, and lasts longer than it too.
