You don`t, get both, OS to seal the finish and OCW to maintain it !

These are customer cars.

still get both

If you can only afford to get one, get the Optiseal. But both have a different look on different paints, so you really should get both. On most metallics I prefer OS but on dark solid colors I prefer OCW. Appearance is completely subjective so you will probably have to decide for yourself. You can buy a 4 oz sampler of OCW on the Optimum site and you won't regret the 8 oz OS so just go ahead and get it.

Yeah, advise them to invest in some OCW to maintain the finish then.

Can you use both on a single finish without adverse effects?

Doesn't the Opti-Seal do something to the Carnauba in the OCW?

I'd seal it, wait an hour then OCW...no adverse effects...they play nice

I think OS is only about $15 in the USA, money well spent because you`ll not use as much OCW to maintain the finish and even less if you wash the vehicles with ONR.

OS is $24.99 USD

I am suprised, here its only gone up to £17.55 because of the drop in Sterling.
Up until recently what we in the UK paid in £s Americans paid the same amount of $s
Still an amazing price for such a quality product that is used so sparingly.

both is ideal

OS makes a great and fast wheel sealant that performs really well and the incredible ease of topping up means you can have perfectly maintained wheels in a few seconds. I also love OCW for the look it gives and the ease and speed of use. Combined with POS you have a pretty durable combo as well.

I have used most things from Royale & Vintage down, and where I stand right now if simply ditching the lot and using these 2 for pretty much everything
