Heijneker Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 As the title implies, can I use Optimum Opti-Seal as intented (WOWA) after having used Optimum Instant Detailer as a drying aid with ONR. Will it migrate under the instant detailer or will it remove it? And what if, I used BOTH simultaneously as a drying aid? Would that work?

Ron@Optimum Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 I don't think there's any problem applying Opti-Seal over Instant Detailer. I can't speak to applying both simultaneously except to wonder why - seem overkill? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heijneker Posted November 20, 2020 Author Share Posted November 20, 2020 Thanks! For timesaving, but just wanted to know if it was possible basically. ONR on itself really amazes me after every wash, due to how it makes the paint look. OID would increase that amazement, while Opti-Seal would provide the longer lasting protection and improved water-shedding behaviour. Of course Car Wax would be perfectly suited, but I want to try out different stuff! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Detail Mutant Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 When applying to non-coated car maybe not an issue but when I did my optimization training with Yvan Opti-Seal was to be applied 1 hour after coating application (to protect during 1 week cure time) and then if you wanted to boost gloss, OID could be applied half an hour after Opti-Seal. The main purpose for OID is to enhance gloss which may be partially lost if applied first with Opti-Seal afterwards. I would consider reversing yor process with Opti-Seal as drying aid and OID applied afterwards. Heijneker 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whatever water is left in the car seals or whatever streaks Opti seal leaves behind OID will remove those and enhance gloss. I also think that would be the better option.

Heijneker Posted November 23, 2020 Author Share Posted November 23, 2020 Sounds like a plan, guys that would be the way to go! Thanks for the help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KIS76@ Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 Is it ok to apply OID after applying Opti-Seal? I have one coat of Opti-Seal on my car now and plan on adding another layer this weekend. It's been 2 weeks since I applied Opti-Seal. I was thinking of applying it dry again to ensure even coverage. I applied a very very thin layer the first time. I guess the question is does OID add anything to Opti-Seal if I layer it on top? Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron@Optimum Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 Instant Detailer will add gloss to Opti-Seal but won't be durable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
