This is incorrect thinking. We have it on dozens of our client cars and we still care for them on a weekly/monthly basis.

Think of it in terms of a polymer sealant/wax in that it has those characteristics but with extended durability. It should make your job, as the detailer, easier in the maintenance department.

David, it needs a fresh clean surface to properly bond. It can though be lightly polished and waxed once bonded....about 48 hours later to be sure.

I had to level out some areas on a car we recently did and Optimum polish with the flex didn't touch the areas I did. I had to work the area a good while to level it out then re-apply.

So, if you polished with say a Menzerna or Meg's product and didn't do a IA wipedown, it wouldn't fully bond right?

It's as close to clear coat paint as you may get without it being actual paint.....so while it can be applied over a freshly polished surface you may not get optimal results with it in terms of looks and durability.

We always do a straight IP wipe down prior to application and we have next to zero streaking now but then again we have our application process down pretty good now. Spraying both Opti-Seal and Opti-Coat are the ideal methods of application.
