Optimum (20222) Opti-Seal with Foam Applicator Pad - 2 oz.

I’ve used a lot of paint sealants over the years, but Optimum Opti-Seal stands out for its simplicity and effectiveness. Application couldn’t be easier—just spray and wipe, no buffing required. It leaves a slick, glossy finish that really enhances the depth of the paint, and the hydrophobic properties are impressive. Water beads up and rolls right off, even after several washes. What I appreciate most is how little product you need. A single bottle goes a long way, making it a great value. I’ve used it on paint, glass, and even wheels with excellent results across the board. If you’re looking for a quick, no-fuss sealant that delivers professional-grade protection, this is it.

This stuff is amazing! You really do only need one or two sprays to spread over each section of the car. Then you just keep rubbing until it vanishes. It leaves a stunning, glossy finish that everything just slides right off. It’s easier to apply than P&S Bead Maker because there’s no buffing, although you can for extra gloss. You can’t beat it for crystal clear glass in the car or anything else. I liked it so much on my truck, I used it on my TV screen. All I can say is, WOW! You can’t go wrong with this Opti-Seal. I did an entire mid-size truck with a very small amount of product and you can see the results in the photos. So, it may seem pricey, but one bottle will last a very long time. I highly recommend it.

When it comes to caring for my cars, I am stubborn and tend to stick with "lines" of products (Menzerna Polishes, CarPro cleaning agents and coatings etc). However, a time comes once in awhile where I experiment with bunches of new products. I have always stuck with the original Rain-X for glass, Menzerna Power Lock for the wheels and I tend to trust mostly German-branded products (Sonax, P21S, Menzerna) on my paint. OptiSeal on Wheels: I wanted something a bit less "waxy" than Menzerna PowerLock to apply to my wheels. OptiSeal truly is a wipe-on, walk-away product, and it's concentrated so it makes sense for this application. I actually applied this to my wheels when they were removed from the car, and they have been beading water and fighting off BMW brake dust better than ever. The wheels can now be cleaned easily with just soap and water, saving me money as opposed to going through a bottle of Sonax wheel cleaner each month. It seems to be a reasonably temperature-resistant product. Before you apply it, make sure you wipe your wheels down with alcohol to remove any residues or oils and get the best possible bond. Glass: This is where this product really "shines." I removed the old trusted rain-x from the glass with clay, a regular glass-cleaning and a final wipe down of pure 91% alcohol. Again, this ensures the best possible bond with OptiSeal. I applied it with a foam applicator in straight lines. It left a couple small streaks, but nothing sinister; if it happens to you, just gently buff it off with a dry microfiber towel. Most of the sealant immediately dries clear and feels slick to the touch. As for rain repellency, the beads start running off the glass at about 30mph - 10mph sooner than Rain-X - and unlike Rain-X, there is no streaking with the wiper blades. Just clear, quiet, consistent water beading and sheeting. So far, I'm most impressed with OptiSeal on glass. Paint: To be quite honest, this is not my preferred product for paint. I have only used it once on my girlfriend's car, and it leaves a candy-like, hard reflection. However, on dark colors, it streaks more easily than most sealants if you use just a bit too much. It's a small gripe, but this is simply why I prefer sealants that require wiping off and longer cure times. If you plan to use this on paint, just be sure you use it sparingly. It produces great results. I've had an 8-ounce bottle for awhile now, and it'll last me months. A little product goes a long way, and it protects as well as it adds gloss. Overall, a great product that is simple to use at a fair price. Give it a try.

The Optimum Opti-Seal Polymer Paint Sealant has proven to be a valuable addition to my car detailing routine, delivering professional-quality results that enhance the appearance and protection of my vehicle's paint and interior surfaces. The application process is straightforward, and the included detailing applicator pad makes it easy to achieve even coverage. The sealant spreads smoothly and requires minimal effort to achieve a uniform finish. This user-friendly application ensures that both beginners and experienced detailers can achieve satisfying results. I've been particularly impressed with the sealant's performance on my car's exterior paint. The protective barrier it creates offers notable resistance against environmental contaminants, water spots, and minor scratches. Additionally, the glossy finish it imparts gives my car a showroom-worthy shine that lasts. The inclusion of an applicator pad is a thoughtful touch that adds value to the product. It helps ensure an efficient and precise application, making the detailing process more enjoyable and effective. However, I've encountered a slight learning curve when using the Opti-Seal on interior surfaces. While it works well on certain materials, there are cases where it may leave a slightly sticky residue on certain plastics or textured surfaces. It's important to test a small inconspicuous area before applying it to larger surfaces. In summary, the Optimum Opti-Seal Polymer Paint Sealant is a reliable and effective product for automotive paint and interior detailing. Its ease of application, glossy finish, and protective qualities make it a valuable tool in maintaining the appearance of my vehicle. While there is a minor drawback with its performance on certain interior surfaces, it doesn't overshadow the overall positive experience. For car enthusiasts and detailers seeking a high-quality paint sealant, the Opti-Seal is certainly worth considering, earning it a solid four-star rating.

Use this daily with my detailing business. Easy to use and and the bottle last forever. Protection is amazing.

I am very impressed with this product! Yes, it is a bit more expensive overall, but it lasts a very long time (I use 2-3 sprays per panel). It can go on a wet or dry panel, spread it around the panel with one microfiber towel, then buff with another dry microfiber towel. Very easy! After application, it leaves a nice gloss behind (the gloss and shine are good, but other products leave more gloss). BUT, the water beading is incredible and it easily lasts a month with normal driving and rain. Overall (after trying 20+ spray waxes/sealants) this has become my "go-to" product. Why? Ease of use and longevity. There is virtually no streaking, 2-3 sprays per panel, spread, buff off. It couldn't be easier. Other products have more gloss, but often after 1 week the gloss is gone. And yes, there are products that have gloss and longevity, but in my expereince they are hard to apply and get right. I have a career, a home, kids, etc... and I want my car to look good and not have to commit hours to car care and Opti-Seal does that!

I have seen some varying reviews on this product, and every negative review that I read indicates a lack of understanding around this product and in some cases, general car exterior maintenance. There is prep work involved in getting all the benefits out of this product, and this is not a wax it is a synthetic sealant. Simply stated, it will last much longer than wax, but not add as much gloss. I was blown away by this product! I did some initial prep work (washed the car, clay bared, and then polished the car) and applied this. I was unsure what to expect, but it did appear to add a tad bit of gloss to my preped surfaces (which were already glossy). A few days passed since I applied it, and then I got caught in the rain. After the full on downpour of rain I parked my car in the garage for the evening. The next morning I was surprised to see my car in the garage looking like it had just been washed!!! No water spots, just a clean gloss car. I was very happy with this, and then later that same day, again dealt with more rain. Again, the following day, I had a clean car absent of water spots. This is one of the best sealants I have ever used, and a little bit goes a long way! I applied it to my entire car, and when I went to set the bottle with the rest of my car care products it looked like I had not even used any of it! In summary: PROS: -Easy to apply -One less step as there is no wiping off step -A little bit goes a LONG way -Strong sealant that keeps even water spots away -No strong or harsh odor CONS: -None that I have found I know that everyone's results might vary, but I will share that my paint color is white and was already in great condition, and I did use a DA orbital buffer to polish my car.

wow, i used this on my friends black car and within 30 mins it's almost as if the car was covered in water! definitely has reflective & deep qualities within 24 hrs. Goes on easy, goes on light, works as advertised and you are able to simply apply, walk away within 10 mins. VERY slick finish. I applied it with a microfiber cloth, for some reason creates static electricity with this product. This product does not hide swirls just a tradtional wax, so you must prep the surface correctly. Used this on my own white car and it also gives the car a slick finish & highly reflective. **Update** this product last 1-1.5 months in the FL sun. Within a month the slickness of the surface fades away, followed by beading a month after it. However, its very easy to apply so its not a big deal. I feel like I should use Klasse all-in-one for longer-term protection and use this every other wash for added protection.
