Christopher Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 Hi guys, i am not sure if this topic has been discussed before. Let say for example I coated my car with carpro cquartz, instead of using reload as a topper, is it possible to use opti seal instead. I was thinking of using other brands of coatings but I still want to do rinseless wash due to lack of running water. I want to use optiseal as a drying aid as well. Much appreciated.

A&J Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 Yes of course you can...Opti seal is a excelent topper. Ive had Gyeon cancoat bead like mad after 8 months because I used ONR and opti seal to wash&seal every time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lowejackson Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 As A&J suggests, no problem using Optiseal over a coating, I used it over a CarPro coating for several years along with ONR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigPelo Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 Hello, Could I use car wax on top of this? I currently have a spray on SiO2 scellant and I would like to wash using ONR and opti-seal as a drying aid like Christopher here,then add optimum car wax for added shine. Would this work? Thank you!

Ron@Optimum Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 Yes, Pro Installers frequently top Opti-Seal with Wax (and vice versa, both ways work) - you get carnauba look with sealant durability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Detail Mutant Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 If you have an Opti-Coat installer near you (or willing to order direct from Optimum) you might want to consider getting Opti-Coat Hyper Seal as a drying aid. It is SiO2 based so should work better with ceramic coated cars. Based upon my experience though, you should change product to a different sprayer (puts down too much product with full spray) or make sure you only do partial pull of sprayer per panel otherwise it will streak (very concentrated). I find the shine and slickness from Hyper Seal to be far superior over Opti-seal. You may even like the shine enough that you will not feel the need to apply wax afterwards. I find it a great value as well ($5 more than 8 oz Opti-seal but get twice the volume at 16 oz). Only issue is finding place to purchase as it is only sold at Opti-Coat installers or direct from Optimum store. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two Hyper-Seal sprayers broke with a couple of uses, and the same issue with a new bottle of Carpet and Fabric cleaner. The older blue bottles continue to perform great.
