Hi guys,
Mean to post this for a while, car has been fully detailed about a month ago, the car currently wearing two coats of Swissvax best of show.
After washed the car today, i decided to put a coat of optimum opti-seal on top of 2 coats of swissvax best of show, the result was truely awesome, it gives extra wetness to the paint and look glossier instantly!!
I will now top up the opti-seal every month to give the extra wetness and more protection. The application of opti-seal is simple, mist few pumps on the MF applicator and spread on the paintwork, and walk away, no buffing required! It took me around 10 minutes to do the whole car and the results is so impressive!! A must buy item for those people who hasn't got time to wax but love to keep their car protected.
Opti-seal can apply on top of wax or sealant, i also use it on wheels, headlights and grills as well
Car has also dropped with Eibach pro-kit plus few other mods eg Sprint Booster, leather idrive knob, BMW lincese plate holder...
And here are few pictures after usual washing routine:

This sounds identical to Zaino Z-CS Clear, which I'e been using for some time now.

I thought this was only for directly on the paint? sounds like you put it over the wax? if that works, it definitely makes it a bit easier. I always feel like I need to spend all this time stripping off the old wax, buffing the paint/clear coat then putting on that type of paint protection.
Is this the way everyone is using these paint protectors...over wax? How much and thanks for the heads up on the product.

A coat of opti seal will not last very long though (I have previously used on my black e46), i would suggest people to re apply every month or so,
but because it is so easy to apply. i dont think people will have any complaint about it
