It's part of dealing with any spray wax.

I've used it on wax. It doesn't do as well as I'd like. I feel like I'm just pushing it around. Plus, I think you'll begin to notice buildup of SiO2 after a while. Try this: use Hydro2 on you wax after a few washes. It doesn't play well. You eventually end up with significant build-up.

I haven't.

In my experience plush and think doesn't correlate to dry.

Yeah, I'm in wealth management.

Yep, it's brutal.

Spray wax has some benefit to it rather than just aiding in drying. UV protection and a fresh layer of Carnauba make it worth the slight bit of effort.

I do.

Yes, I have both. Polymer Net Shield doesn't do well with pollen in FL>

There will be a separate window package soon.

I haven't tried that combo yet. Some SiO2 based sealants don't play well with wax.

Yep...

truth

Duragloss says hello!

Ash Ash the bottle is ugly because they spent more time making the product then making the bottle like other product that has a nice look outside ..

I have not, but my guess is it isn't as good as this.

The dealer, in almost every case, know very, very little about how to care for a car's paint. If you want to wax, my go-to is Jescar Powerlock +, topped with 2 coats of Collinite 845, then use this Optimum Car Wax as a drying aid every time you wash.

I've owned a 2015 NX F Sport for 2.5 years now in Atomic Silver and the only thing I ever really do is clay bar in the spring after winter and add Optimum wax to Optimum no rinse if I wash it at home. If I wash it at the wand wash I will use Optimum car wax as a drying aid. Other than LOTS stone chips/road rash in my bumper because of all of the gravel they use in Alberta for the winter my paint looks great/like new. I don't even see any swirl or micro swirl marks and I think it is because I have always used the Optimum wax as a drying aid.

The idea is to add what was lost after washing. A detail spray like Adam's adds very little, so that could be an option. I've never had an issue with too much wax on the paint from using this as a drying aid.

Yes, it works very well with it.

I think you can, but I do it every other. AMMO Hydrate would be the in between.

Thanks

Collinite 476

Collinite 845. cheap, good durability and looks great.

FK 1000P Hi-Temp Wax better than the above ^^^^

I have. It's decent, but there are a lot of other products like this one that I prefer. Bead Maker from P&S is another one.

I'm still testing them on the GT350.

I haven't had a chance to use that product. I'm not sure.

I think you could. I find, I end up using it every other.

I have never used it.

@@ObsessedGarage You should review it. I'm sure everyone would enjoy your opinion. The gloss and depth is ridiculous.

Yes, I don't like it.

I love it!!!

No, you don't want to use anything prior to the waxing.

so whats the obsessed way of drying it before I can put on some sealant and wax?

@@Joeyyy25 Use a luxury microfiber Sucker Jr. towel. They work brilliantly!

I'm not sure yet. I'm still a pretty simple dude when it comes to cars. I don't like all the crazy tech and overly done interiors, but I bet living in an M5 would be pretty darn comfortable.

I don't have gallons for this yet, but I will. You must be looking in the wrong spot. I have all the individual products up: www.obsessedgaragestore.com/collections/car-washing

Obsessed Garage I appreciate the help! I'll be placing an order here soon

It depends on what is more important to you. I like 845 over a coating simply due to how it looks.

Obsessed Garage hi Matt, one other question that I need to ask. I have your detailing kit arriving today - The one with the optimum products and zenotech etc. I also picked up some Collinite 840 & 845. After polishing with menzerna SF 3800 (fairly new car) how should I apply the 840 & 845 and possibly some PL-22. Thanks. Here's my email if you are able to find time out of your busy hectic schedule with your tips jtblackwood@mac.com. Thanks

Detail spray really doesn't have any benefit of topping you last step.

Yup, I just am looking for a product to aid in drying the vehicle. Are you still going to be using optimum car wax on your Miyabi coated vehicles?

Ha, ha... Yep, not me.

I'd choose one or the other.

This is what I wanted to know. Thank you.

Yes, it's so, so.

I love it as quick detailer and drying aid. Never try the Kenotek, I should receive it in the next days, curious to compare! Also why not include a glass cleaner in your washing package? Do you prefer include it in a interior package?

It's a very different product. This is a Carnauba based waxed with some UV protecting properties. That is a polymer sealant. I think it largely depends on the look you want and what you have on the car as you last step.

I think it's decent, but there are better products out there.

Stihl BG55

I use it after every wash as a drying aid.

@@ObsessedGarage you use optimum spray car wax or bead maker after every wash?

@@rockystallone3925 Your question is why I actually ended up watching this video because I follow his steps and use his products.

Better off trying the new Hyper Seal, much improved version of Opti-Seal. Opti-Seal has really bad durability from my testing.

I have it. I like the look of this much better afterward.

kbc8090. Thanks i will order some and do a 50/50

I think so. I haven't noticed any build up of this product like some others.

Ha, ha... I like them.

No, I haven't.

That is correct. This doesn't work well on a coated car.

So what is the product to use if your car is coated with Kamikaze ISM, then top with Overcoat....

I don't like Overcoat. I use P&S Beadmaker. www.obsessedgarage.com/collections/paint-protection/products/p-s-bead-maker-paint-protectant

You would need something else.

Obsessed Garage Matty what would you use as a drying aid if ceramic coated?

I used that for several years. I think this is a better product. It's not as easy to apply, but everything else is better.

Obsessed Garage thanks for the info

It's decent. I've only used it once.

Something like a CR Spotless would help. Using deionized water would solve that for you.

Obsessed Garage I’ll take a look at CR spotless. Thanks for the reply. So, you aren’t going to believe what happened today - up in Canada Dr. Colorchip is known as Chipfixx. I saw your video on Dr. Colorchip and a number of others and I thought this was a good idea. Wow, I watched so many videos on how to apply it, read the instructions... I did 3 spots on my front driver side bumper... I now have two marred spots. I wish I could send a picture. I don’t know how this happened. I thought I was doing a good thing, I used gentle pressure of a single finger with the solvent and after I buffed it with some spray wax - the area was all scratched up. I seriously couldn’t believe it. Now I’m afraid to touch it further and clearly not using the chipfixx kit again. Any thoughts as to how it happened? I cleaned the area with the solvent and the provided cloth, let it dry, added the paint, let it dry, used a separate part of the provided cloth for removing of the excess paint gently with my index finger and almost zero pressure... buffed the area out by hand with some spray wax... and 2 marred marks over where the chips used to be... I’m so damn mad right now! I don’t know how that happened!!!

Yes, I use if as a drying aid.

That's the ONR episode. I need to make that video.
