    BTW if anyone does not know the newer version claims up to 5 months duability! Id be happy with 3 or 4 even .
    Regular sprayer works fine. It`s not "thick" per se, just thicker than a detail spray or waterless wash.

    Nice chatting with you on the telephone by the way!

    Standard spray bottles work fine. Home Depot type are OK. And the OCW is a great product. Steve

    Re: Optimum spray wax

    I`ve tested the longevity on one version of ocw and found it to be in the 6 week range in Florida.

    Never have I experience streaking with any formula, not sure how many upgrades have been made to this point though.

    Re: Optimum spray wax

    As folks have mentioned any sprayer will work but I`ve found that those that put out a fine mist work a whole lot better.

    Simplicity is so beautiful sometimes!

    Joking aside...use shade or at the very least good cloud cover.

    I would go against the grain when answering this question. So long as the surface isn`t sizzling to the touch it can be done. The vertical panels rarely get hot enough to create issues so all you have to worry about are the hood, roof and decklid. If it`s not to hot out to wash then you can use this product.

    Simply spray on right after rinsing and before drying.

    Thanks Brian!

    I use products all summer long in the sun,even ones that say not to use in the sun. I just make sure like you said they are not too hot.

    I imagine the cooler weather this winter I will be fine .I hope !

    So you are saying that you can wash in the sun and use OCW as a drying aid in the sun?

    Re: Optimum spray wax

    I`ve tested several what I call premium spray car waxes and Optimum Spray Car Wax is without a doubt the best spray car wax on the market today.

    Spray waxes tested:

    • Optimum Spray Car Wax
    • Pinnacle Souveran Spray Wax
    • Meguiar`s Ultimate Quik Wax
    • Mothers California Gold Spray Wax


    Optimum Spray Car Wax goes on so easily and buffs to a gorgeous gloss leaving 4 to 5 months of solid protection.....

    Unless a product specifically states; "can be used in direct sun" I do not do so....

    Initially after trying a sample I bought a gallon of Optimum Spray Car Wax and have no regrets....

    Given the angle of the sun and cloud cover among other conditions, absolutely. If the panel is cool enough that ONR is behaving properly (not steaming off the car making it very difficult to dry without horrible streaking) then it`s cool enough to blast a spray of OCW just before drying.
