I only used that many sprays for my whole truck. Not per panel. Maybe you used to much.

I have not tried the others.

Subscribed! Can't wait to hear the results...and wish I had tossed a bottle in with my last order ..... which apparently has been with my local post office the past two days....apparently they can't verify my freaking address according to the tracking # / website. sigh...oh well. Raining all this weekend, so no detailiong for me

LOL was just about to order JUST opti-seal (free foam applicators!!! I need a few extra) until I saw how much it wanted me to pay to ship it :O 20.99....thats almost the cost of opti-seal. heh.

Guess I'll have to wait

Disadvantage of living in the Great White North!

Raining all day here. This was good chance to see the "beading" vs. "sheeting" of Opti-Seal. It definitely sheets and beads. Water runs off veritcal surfaces and beads on horizonal ones. Once I got up to 30mph, nothing stuck though! The hood was dry in 15 seconds. I'm pleased.

The pics.......

Looks good!

looks like P21S and Zaino still rule the small tight beads ... nice overall, and will take advice and use less.

Very nice pics of beading!! I love the picture of that side-mirror housing! It looks so.....so...... I don't know what word to use? Dark, smooth, uniform look, no streaking, beads. That was OS on the mirror housing too, right Justin? Did OS darken the color of it?

That's OS on the housing and window trim. Just gave it a clean look. It didn't add anything like a protectant would. The water just fell off of it! Same for the window. There was a bug or two but when the wipers hit them, gone!

I really like this stuff. I'm even going to try it on the interior glass and plastics.
