Opti-Seal, BFWD or just stay with Colly 845??

[05xrunner]

I have been using BFWD and really like the stuff..would top it with Midnight sun..but I recently got the BF Crystal sealant and the stuff is amazing. soo easy and fast to apply and I washed the car today first time since I did it and the sheeting from it is way better then any wax or sealant(BFWD, Souveran, Midnight Sun, 845, Fuzion) I have used before..I think this is the only LSP I will be using for now on.

You guys are really spoilt for choice!! Will def look into UPGP, looking forward to seeing the grudge match that is 2012 Opti-seal vs BF Crystal Seal!

I've used 2 coats of Opti-Seal and covered them with 2 coats of 845. Looks great,long-lasting and that 845 is really easy on-off over the O-S.

Personally I find it to be overrated.

I have both 845 and BFWD, I LOVE BFWD to be honest its one of the best products ive used and all together BlackFire is my go to brand of products I use. I do like 845 although i havent used it much, but its a great long lasting decently looking wax. But for the look I much prefer BFWD

Thanks for the great responses guys, appreciate it! I recently bought BFWD and I've gotta say it's the easiest product to apply and remove. I love the look and deep shine but tbh I expected to be more wowed. With a name like 'wet diamond' I think it conjures up a 'one of a kind' look but I think I might of had a different expectation. I definitely still want to try OS.

Oh and I forgot, is BFWD more color dependant? The two colors I've used in on so far is metallic silver and white. Maybe they don't lend themselves well to the 'wet diamond'?

After reading this thread at lunch, I went outside,
*strong Dawn wash
*20% IPA with 1 oz ONR wipedown
*MF dry
*OOS and foam applicator

11 year old daily driver 24/7 outside vehicle in need of light polishing after 8-10 RW (ONR) this past winter.
Can't vouch for durability or sheeting yet, but gloss and ease of use are outstanding.



Literally drops to do entire vehicle - minus pad absorption.





Really digging the flake pop!

Awesome flake pop there! Is that the new 2012 Opti-Seal? Thanks for sharing pics
