Alright, I have gone through all 9 pages of this thread and I don't believe this has really been answered...
I have PoliSeal which is for Paint Correction and Sealing. OptiSeal is pure Sealant. Is it overkill to use OS of OPS? | |

I haven't used OS but I don't think it's overkill. I've read where a lot of people top one steppers (OPS, PsW, AIO, etc) with a pure sealant for more durability/enhanced look. | |

Opti-Seal is a pure polymer.
Durability claim is a year although if I used it be put on every three months with poly-seal used spring and fall to clean.

Couple of thoughts after doing my car with the stuff.
1 - Priming the applicator with a QD is bad mojo. Causes all kinds of streaking. My hood looks like it's had grease smeared on it. Fortunately they include 2 sponges so I switched after the hood fiasco and things went smoother.
2 - A little really does go a long way. I did the whole car on probably less than 15 pumps and that was with trying to redo parts of the hood that the QD primed applicator streaked up.
3 - The stuff isnt very slick. Maybe after it's had some time to cure it will get slicker but right now, there is 0 slickness. | |

Yea priming the pad with anything other than OS would not be advised. Take that sponge and just hand wash it with some dish soap, rinse it very well and let dry completely before using again.
You should notice some improved slickness after it cures. Durability though is the main goal, looks and slickness following that.
