Optimum Car Wax - 1 Gallon - SW2008G

This stuff is amazing. My husband ran out of Griot's Garage Spray on Wax and I came to Amazon to check their prices. I stumbled onto Optimum's Car Wax (OCW) and it's much better than what he’s been using. This has more wax in it and a little goes a long way - one spray per panel is plenty. He’s now almost completely converted to Optimum's products. All of Optimum's products I've purchased get 5 stars for ease of use and outstanding results. He used OCW as a main/base coat of wax and it looks fantastic. The shine is much deeper than GG Best of Show wax and it's easier to apply: just spray it on, wipe it around the panel, then wipe it off with a dry towel. The finish is very shiny and very slick. If you like the slick and shiny look you will love this. It's also easier to remove dust between washes with a car duster. The paint is 15 years old and it now looks new. Make sure your towels are clean and dry on the final wipe or you'll have streaking. Again, a little goes a long way. Use one towel to apply and a separate towel to buff/remove. Don't let it dry and don't apply it in direct sunlight. If you're getting streaks, you're using too much product or you're not using a dry towel on the final wipe and buff. He’s also using Optimum's Instant Detailer and Gloss Enhancer, and their No Rinse Wash and Wax as a touch-up detailer as needed: 2 ounces of ONRW mixed with 32 ounces of distilled water in spray bottle works great. All of Optimum's products he’s used are amazing and this one is his favorite. Update 12-16-15 So, my husband is on the same application from this initial review. The paint is still very shiny even after multiple washes, baking in the sun all summer, and the occasional rain storm during fall. He also used it on the headlights and tail lights to keep them looking new. He still uses a car duster to remove light dust and the No Rinse Wash and Wax detailer solution between washes. Love it! Update 5-30-2020 My husband finally finished the bottle I purchased 6 years ago. This is hands down the best spray wax he’s EVER used. It’s not quite as “deep” as a liquid or paste wax. But those are a PITA to apply, only last 2-3 washes, and more for show cars than daily drivers. All he uses to maintain our cars is a clay bar every 4-5 months (Griot’s is the best) with the No Rinse Wash and Wax as a solution. Then he’ll seal it with Opti Seal, finish up with Spray Wax, and use the No Rinse detailer spray in between washes. This product is fantastic, the sprayer - not so much. He ended up reusing one of his empty Griot’s Garage spray bottles and fills it up as needed. Very easy to use with excellent results and HIGHLY recommended!

I absolutely love Optimum Car Wax! I paired it with ONR as recommended, and the results have been incredible. I’ve only used it once, and four months later, the water still beads up like I just applied it yesterday. It’s so easy to use—after washing with ONR, you just spray this on and wipe everything off in one simple step. It couldn’t be more straightforward, and yet it leaves my car looking like I spent hours waxing it. The shine is amazing, and my car feels so sleek and smooth. I’m seriously impressed with how well it protects my car, especially considering how effortless it is to apply. If you’re looking for a product that combines ease of use with professional-quality results, this is it. Highly recommend!

This is without a doubt the easiest and most effective spray wax I have ever used. Application is a breeze and truly takes minutes, not hours. It leaves my Tesla with a deep, glossy shine and makes the paint feel super slick to the touch. I’ve noticed the car stays clean for weeks after using it, and the pleasant smell makes the job even better. No streaks, no residue, just a perfect finish on every surface. An amazing product that absolutely delivers on its promises.

I will start by saying there are a lot of negative reviews about this product that are due to simply misuse of the product. Streaking happens when you use too much of do not buff with a dry side of the towel. It should be limited to 2 sprays per panel MAX. 3 maybe for a large hood or SUV doors. In my experience as a professional detailer this product outweighs them all. Pros: - Easy to use - Fast to use - Great quality sprayer - Good quality bottle - Fantastic smell - Swirl free - Contains carnauba AND polymers Cons: - Must understand how to use it Talking about durability which is very hard to measure based on conditions, I will be able to update the review based on my experience. So far it has lasted longer than Meguiar’s x-press Wax for my and durability is comparable to any spray wax. Will update in a few months after thorough analysis. Using this wax is very simple. One spray per panel, put your towel where you sprayed the wax and wipe it in to the panel. After you see streaking start to fade, flip the towel and complete buffing. Whole car can be done in 15 minutes with ease. The appearance is fantastic just like any other wax I have used. It beads water very well like you’d expect. The slickness is not anything special but it’s comparable to most other spray waxes on the market. The carnauba inside does a good job of giving that glow you want from a good wax. Great product!! I will update my review after a few months of use.

Great product and high quality use. Only thing I recommend is to better package it in mail. When I received it, product was leaking in the envelope package it was mailed in.

Have been detailing cars since the early 60's, even lived with a well-known celebrity who had several vehicles and part of my job was to take care of them , clean them, etc. For years I swore by Rally Wax but then Dupont sold the patent and you can still get this but the formula has changed although I still use it when I need to rub out embedded dirt/dull areas, etc. I see people talking about "buffing" this, and I don't know what they mean by "buffing" because all I do is spray on, wipe and wipe off... nothing I'd call buffing and I have 3 black vehicles which continuously get comments about how shiny and great they look. One is a 10 year old car and another is a 12 year old motorcycle and I've had people argue with me that the bike is new. One of the best things about this wax is you don't have to be careful not to get it on rubber around windows, glass, plastic, etc. as it does not stain or build up. (Rally wax is white and it was always tricky to keep it off some parts). I also use Optimum (NR2010Q) No Rinse Wash & Shine and it seems paired with that this stuff might even work better. This wax is not the best for badly oxidized paint or removing bugs, tar, stains, etc. for which I use other products but twice a year I do use this and it retains a shine and protection very well especially when using their washes in between. I did have a problem with one shipment but it was Amazon's poor packaging (which I have had many issues with) where they stuck the plastic spray bottle loose in a padded envelope and it had leaked. Have tried many, many other products over the years and this is the best of them.

Optimum is the original and the best. Easy to apply as a drying aid. I loved it so much I bought the quart.

Made my car look so shiny and new! The smell was really nice too.

El 95% del producto debe ser agua, demasiado caro. No lo volveré a comprar
