How goes it, everyone? Quick question. I have a new paste wax that I'd like to try out, but before I do I was wondering if I could apply it on top of OS or should I apply it before OS?

Thanks in advance for the help, amigos.

I`ve put OS on and under waxes no problem but always think OS over preserves the look of the waxes that much longer.

I have done several vehicles, from 2008 to 2010, doing an ONR, Clay if needed (Optimum does not offer a clay bar), DP Max Wax (Optimum does not offer a Carnauba Wax) and finish the vehicles paint with the Opti-Seal. To me, by detailing the exterior in THAT ORDER runs very well, sleek and smooth. It holds up on a vehicle for a good amount of time. I have been using it on my 2008 Mazda 3s GT. I do not have a chance to clean my own car very often. Friday morning, I did an ONR on it and the paint still feels nice and smooth.

Here are some pictures of vehicles I've done on this Opti-Seal basis:

Another one that is missing is a 2008 Ford Shelby GT 500KR. I'm upset about that one since I did not have my digital camera with me since he called me at a moments notice.

As mentioned, Opti Seal works really well before or after your wax, it is very versatile.

I have not tried OS with other waxes I may have too. 2 coats OS and one or 2 of OCW is great. Use OCW to buff off sealants and really like it
