Optimum Car Wax durability test....

[WRAPT C5Z06]

I prepped the paint with WG PPE to make sure the surface was free of any LSP's. Just to be cautious, I followed with an 35% IPA wipedown. This truck sits outside 24/7, and is driven here and there. Optimum claims UP to 5 months protection. I rinsed with water 30 minutes after application. If this wax can hold up for 2 months, I will use it exclusively on all cars that I polish/detail because it will save me a ton of time, and so easy to use. I will post a follow up in a month.

Left side has no protection............right side has one coat of Optimum Car wax

Mark,

Is the Optimum Wax you used Optimum Spray Wax?

Great test though and I'm looking forward to a month from now!

Hey Bobby, yes, it's the spray wax.

That's the only "wax" Optimum sells.

Good test, can't wait to see the results. Do you think the fact that it got wet pretty quickly is going to affect it's durability?

I called Dr G.(owner of optimum) to specifically ask him about curing time. He said 30 minutes and I'm good to go.
