That was the first spray wax I used, and I was blown away with how it made the paint look. I ran out of the stuff a couple months back, and I`ve been using OCW because it lasts a bit longer. If I were to compare looks alone, I`d have to give the edge to Mother`s but the margin isn`t that big. However, OCW`s durability made it my go-to wax after washing.Originally Posted by Pennypacker
How long does diluted SG last? I remember the days of layering SG by hand once a week lol - some people on here used to do 7 weeks worth! Doing so would last only a couple months too right? It`s amazing just how detailing products change for the better over the years .

OCW is a polymer, the polymers lay down as you apply it and if you have a wax down the polymers do not bond and cross link. Then people can`t understand why after one or two weeks the OptiSeal is no longer "there".
I can`t speak for AW as I`ve never used it but it may also be meant to be used as a stand alone product?
Once more, slickness is not an indicator of product presence nor is water beading. A product can still be on the paint even if there is no beading and no slickness. Some pros would agree that once a car becomes difficult to dry then the protection may be losing its edge.
If we judged a products durability based on slickness then no product would last more than 2 weeks. I know this has been gone over more than a highway roadkill but hopefully it will begin to sink in slowly and replace the myths.

Two weeks. Gee that must be a bad sealant. I get at least six months of unchanged slickness and use my own showcar soap shampoo and quick shot every wash
Then again I do have 20 coats of AW on top of prime, Jett & a few fireglaze DS
Car care/detailing sadly isn`t high on the agenda for 98% of australians.
Yeah - you do have to work it into the paint a little bit in one continuous application/buffing process. However, it only takes a couple of swipes per panel to work the product in if you use the correct (small) amount of product. After you`ve used AJT a few times and get the hang of it, it is very simple and quick to use.Originally Posted by WilliamHBonney

Anthony, just to expand slightly, Optimum Car Wax Spray does contain Nubas, it is a blend of Polymer protection and Nuba enhancers.......And a very good looking spray protectant at that. Great slickness for sure, even better the next day.Originally Posted by Anthony Orosco
SVR, I think what Anthony meant was theres really nothing like that fresh sealed/waxed slickness. As with any sealant or wax, a couple washes later, and that blinging slickness will drop off a tad, as well as progressively, unless its "boosted" periodically.
