I have it on my black sapphire metallic volvo C30 and really like the effect. I applied three coats. (I`m travelling and can`t post a picture, not that I take very good ones anyway. Sorry.) Later, I applied some carnuba moose wax over it but did it only because I wanted to try the CMW, not because the OS needed it.

so you think it`s better to use only Optiseal after polish, instead of other sealants( Poorboy,Zaino etc)

I stick with OS because it looks good, is easy to apply and has good durability. Don`t let the ease of use fool you, it is a true LSP.

I love OS. And like Scott mentioned, it looks good on pretty much anything. I also use it on wheels, if I`m not using 1000P.

I like Opti seal b/c it easy to apply and can be applied often quickly. I havent that good durability, 2 months max. Which im happy for the price and ease of use.

How would you compare optiseal to Zaino CS??



I have used CS for a few months but I do not know there is just something about it I do not like... So I am thinking about getting optiseal but need to know how it compares to CS?





Thanks,

Sorry to go a bit off topic, but how does OS compare to OCW (looks, durability, etc)? TIA

I only have my white car to compare on, so for other colors it may be a bit different.



OS seems to give more reflection/crispness by itself. OCW adds a ton of gloss and depth which, by itself I don`t care for on my white car; it tends to make it look like a white blob. I stick with just OS and OID on my car.



I would say both are close in terms of durability, which depends greatly on the environment the car is in and the washing technique used. I wash my car weekly and OID after every wash, so durability is really not a concern for me.
