Default OS

From anyones experience how much more gloss, depth, shine, and protection would I get from putting a couple coats of Opti Seal on my Black stang? I have polished PBs, Glazed w/ RMG, sealed w/ EX, and topped with 2 coats of NB. Will the OS be worth the money in my case, will it look much better? thanks guys

It'll make a good visual difference. It won't double what a glaze does, it'll just give it depth and give some amazing protection from the elements.

I think Opti Seal is really worth it. It will add a lot of gloss and really nice depth to the paint, I also like how much slickness it adds. I just opened up a new bottle of it the other day. I've done 6 vehicles with only using one ounce, so a little bit goes a long way. The price seems up there but when you figure how much you get out of it, the OS is very cost effective.

Yeah that little bottle will do 7-8 cars iirc. It does a great job. Really quck and durable.

This is my car with a couple of coats of nuba and a couple of coats of O/S

ease of use is incredible and it really adds a lot of gloss IMO



i did a side-by-side with meguiar's NXT paste wax and saw that the paste would make the blue paint i was working with look deeper


but, that was when the opti-seal was still fresh, results will keep getting better during the 24 hour curing period

IMO opti-seal is well worth the money
