Hi guys,

 

I would like to know how much ocw should i use whwn i wax our cars? Or how many mid-size car should I be able to wax with a 500ml bottle of Optimum Spray wax?

I've never really measured, but I bet I use less than 1oz per car. A little goes a long way.

Never really counted but Ive been using it for the past year to add some protection after wash every month there is still some left. I am guessing but I will say 15+ applications should be a realistic number assuming you are using it sparingly.

Thank you guys. It seems like I used it a lot more than required. I think I used over 80ml at one application. Appreciate your responses.

You used too much.

 

One squart per panel is enough.

Is there any danger if I dont remove the excess fast enough?

Chris, did you ever spread the wax with an applicator then buff with a towel?

 

Looks like I have been overusing the wax. Will have to remember to cut it back

No danger, only streaks. Assuming you are using one spray per panel on a cool panel then simply apply and buff. OCW is not a fussy product, it does not give you several seconds to buff or bad things will happen. Once it is applied to the panel, start the buffing. Actually the word buffing can indicate using lots of energy, maybe it is better to say give the panel a light swipes with the cloth

I used about 3 shots a panal on my element(I think little to much) whipped it twice moved on to next panal used maybe 3oz looked great the car was in the sun but not hot to rich 14 c  out  love this stuff

1-2 sprays per panel (depending on the panel size) should be enough. Less is more with this product.

Yup I think I used a little to much but no side effects probably wasted product in my towels

The usual sign you've used too much is hazing (easily removed with a damp microfiber).

 Thanks had no haze at all  this stuff is fool proof really although  got some on my new windshield then it dryer  

 the paint pre will remove it I guess 

[Ron@Optimum 99]

Paint Prep, Power Clean, even ONR dampened microfiber should remove Wax
