Opti-seal

After you prime the applicator, do you spray on the paint or keep spraying on the applicator like I do with UPGP?

Re: Opti-seal

Spray the applicator like applying UPGP. Thin, thin, thin.

I know about thin, I use one spritz per panel with UPGP.

Re: Opti-seal

Opti-seal, Zaino clear seal and UPGP all state to spray the applicator rather then the body panel. And as said very thin

Re: Opti-seal

Could you apply opti-seal thick to make sure you have full coverage and the most possible product that can adhere to the paint, and then just buff the haze/streaking off with Opt. instant detailer after it cures??

Too be sure you have full coverage, just do two coats 12 hrs. apart. Do not try to get any hazing/streaking off during the curing period. You can QD after it cures or top it with a nuba.

Re: Opti-seal

I think it would be a waste of product to put OS on as thick as you can.

If your just going for even coverage I would do one coat, than another coat after 30 minutes.

If you trying to "layer" (if thats possible) than I would wait the full 12 hours.

Re: Opti-seal

Even coverage, two 2 thin coats 30minutes apart. If attempting to layer, wait 12hours.

I prime the pad first, then sometimes I'll spray directly onto the paint, sometimes on the applicator. I mix it up. No right or wrong way.

Sounds exactly like UPGP in that regard.

Re: Opti-seal

The three WOWA products are similar in application and use. They have minor differences in looks and durability tho.
