Tried out the new OCW tonight on my car. put it on after opti seal. frankly speaking it seems not much of an improvement over my opti seal., but yes there was a little improvement (duh). but let me make it clear that the opti seal on its own already improved the gloss and finishing on the...

To those who use the opti-seal product... Am I the only one being paranoid bout inducing fine lines when applying the product with the foam applicators ? It is said that a little goes a long way, but sometimes it feels a little grabby, and when I give the panel an extra spritz, it then...

I just received a bottle of ONR today and the colour of the solution is brownish. not really dark nor light brown. I thought it is supposed to be blue ? I was told that it was that particular batch that for some wierd reason had a diff colour, but apparently still the same formula within...

I'm gonna try out the QEW with the 2 bucket system, my question is, after using the mitt to spread the qew solution , can I use a waffel weave towel to dry it up or should i strictly use a MF cloth ? my concern is that the waffle weave might be too rough n cause scratches / swirls ?
