Do you use this product as a booster only, or do you use it as a total replacement to a carnauba or sealant topper?

Also, a person at optimum said this product would be safe to use on paints that haven`t cured yet. They told me Optimum Car Wax is safe to use on fresh paint since there are no petroleum solvents or abrasives in this product and also does not retard drying and curing (cross-linking) of paint. Any comments on this?

Yes it can be used on freash paints, as we have done it in the past for testing and no ill harm.

I use it as a stand alone. Rarely do I top it and never use it as a booster. It has made me completely and totally lazy in terms of paste wax application. By the time I apply paste wax to the hood and front fenders I could be done if using OCW.

The OCW spray got a bum wrap when people started using it as a QD type product. Its much better then that, or even a booster type product. Its above and beyond either of those, IMO.

Im not convinced it last any longer then a traditional Poly, but for ease of use, its ahead of the rest.

Make sure you constantly shake during use though John............

I was surprised with the durability I got out of it and it had nice tight little beads. I usually just apply a quick coat of OCW over EX if im lazy.

I use it pretty regularly, sometimes as a stand alone, sometimes as a base for carnaubas.

I`ve used it a lot as a booster, but as mentioned, it is a more substantial product than what "booster" suggests in my opinion. I love Pinnacle Crystal Mist (a prototypical booster), but wouldn`t consider using that as a stand-alone, whereas with OCW, I definitely would.

I have being using it on about 80% of cars lately. It can`t be beat after OP, for clean-off and a wax in one step.

Thanks for the comments so far.

I use it every day and every time I wash one of my personal vehicles.

I do a lot of work for a body shop. Wet sanding and polishing mostly BMW`s. I always finish the car with a application of the Optimum spray wax. Even the fresh paint. I have been doing this for the last 19 months and have never had a car return with any type of problems.
