Beads pretty good for me too. Combined with Optimum No Rinse, I don`t think there is a faster way to wash and wax your car.

What is OCW?

**Scottwax** · 04-15-2006, 12:32 PM

Optimum Car Wax. Spray, wipe, flip towel, final wipe, done.

I have been doing alot of cars lately with the No Rinse. I did an H2 the other day along with a 911 and an SL65. The H2 took an hour, inside and out, and the other 2 took under an hour, inside and out. The SL got a layer of OCW applied also.

Once you get the hang of the No Rinse you soon learn that you can clean a car in blazing speed. One man interior the other exterior.

I love the beading pics by the way

OCW is all I use as an LSP unless I want to use a sealant. I get 3 to 4 months of good protection with OCW, and its so easy to use.

Does anybody think OCW looks even better after the initial application?

and I have 3 coats of it

General Lee,

Yes. It needs a good 12 hours to 1.5 days to reach the peak of its optical potential, depending of paint condition.

Mmmm, I wonder why. Maybe The hot Texas Sun?? The reason I always use it is because of the durability I get out of it. Comparible to a good patse wax but fatser to apply.

Exactly, I meant to say the next day or so in my first post.

I`m thinking of picking up the Optimum Porter Cable kit. I`ve heard a lot of good stuff about Optimum, and seems it`s real easy and quick to use/clean up with. Does the Optimum stuff repel dirt/water etc. I`m looking for something that I can quickly wash/wipe down where the dirt and whatever else won`t really stick to the car.

Yep, just like the beading I`ve experienced. I don`t use it alot - don`t know why, though, since it`s about the easiest to apply of the quality wax products on the market. Go figure....
