I just started using OID; got a 32oz concentrate to give a whirl. I`ve only used it on a few cars, but so far so good. Definitely a cost effective qd that performs well. I like 425 better too (so far), but for me it`s harder to get.

I`ve been using Prime/AJT/Quickshine
I read where it looks like the OptiSeal can be used over AJT. Maybe I`ll swith to that and the Optimum Instant Detailer.
Hard to beat Quickshine for me. Great for a spruce up before the car shows.
Just tried OID. I like it.
I find DG`s FCS to have more cleaning power.
DG FC&S 921 or the marine version 521 definitely has more cleaners than either Quikshine or 425. I tend to use them when wiping down wheels or stubborn bird bombs. 425 or OID is perfect for after washing gloss and slickness.
Actually, I`m pretty happy with 425`s cleaning ability. It removes bugs quite easily. I never use it on `dirt`, but it`s more than just a beauty product.
+1 on that. Tried so many QD`s and like 425 the best.Originally Posted by RobD
My 32 oz. bottle of OID arrived today. After trying it out I think it`ll be my only detailer when the others run out.
Perhaps, but as we know ONR at QD strength is 6oz/gal and I was wondering about 16oz/gal....but no matter - I`m sold on ONR, but I`m also having a DG period so I`m gonna keep washing my DG TPP 105 with ONR and topping with DG AW.Originally Posted by Scottwax
At last, I can join the OID community!
I tried it immediately as it arrived. I used it on my Camry in the full sun. The OID was steaming as I sprayed onto the surface... but the OID played mostly very well. It looks great, slick and smells excellent. On my hood I noticed streaking (over Vic Cruising & Vic QD), but the hood is so much more permeable and weathered, so this was expected - especially with these conditions. This particular panel needs a complete cleaning with APC. Seems to be a great product.

Umm, dunno yet, I`m playing with the dilution ratios.
I think 425 has more immediacy, but OID looks excellent no question. Will test the AS effect on OID, and of course, I`ll test it on different types of LSPs.
I`m babying my last 4 oz of 425 until my gallon arrives...
Still haven`t pulled the trigger on OID I see. Rob you know how I feel about OID vrs 425. I just mixed 1 24oz. bottle of OID (QD strength) forgot how many ozs. of OID, but the bottle is over 3/4 full. PM me and I will send you the whole bottle.Originally Posted by Rob Tomlin
