Looking good...got a few questions...

-Steam on the exterior? Could you explain where and why?
-Poli-seal with no polishing? I thought this was a wipe on, walk away product with no cleaning ability?
-Do they mind putting a cover on in the road? I had the cops at my place in a day when I did that in CT.

Hi Sean - It is opti seal.

The white car was in excellent shape. I have been taking care of it since 2005. It had #16 on it and wasn't driven all winter. Still very slick. I do much better with the pc applying lsps.

The car is going to a show tomorrow. Steamed around badges, plastic moldings and every possible cracks where dirt had sattled.

How are you doing?

PS: In that neighborhood you will not see cops driving around, so it is ok to do.

The cars look great tdekany! What are your thoughts on using Opti-Seal with the PC? Do you find yourself having to use more or less product when applying this way?

I've only gotten to use my Opti-Seal once, and I learned that I'm using a bit too much product because in certain areas it streaked, but nothing that a little buff with a MF couldn't fix.

Anthony sent me 2 yellow applicator pads. Did the passanger side with it but once I started on the hood I started seeing smears where I would spray the paint. Out came the pc and an lc blue pad. Speed 3 worked like a charm. As far as I could tell, the blue pad didn't absorb the product. You really need small amount to work with (pad). I think I used even less with the pc.

I am much faster with the pc. Doing it by hand, my work looks like a big mess.

Thank you. It means alot coming from you.

Mustang - it is my pleasure. I hope to send more of them your way.

See above.

As far as the look of Opti Seal - It made white more wet lookin and gave it a much sharper look. Not sure what the proper words is to discribe the look....

Well here is one I thought of. MUCH BETTER!!!

Definately a winner.

PS: I tried using it on another car 2 days ago. The bottle was sitting in my car all morning in the sun and when I pressed the yellow applicator against the paint to spread the product, I couldn't! I needed an orange pad and the pc to get it off the paint. Do follow the instraction on the label. Don't use it if too hot.
