Optimum Opti-Seal Reviews

Love Optiseal. The bottle I just received states it is an updated formulation with ceramic . Amazing gloss I got from it. Very slick also. A great product made even better. Optimum makes great stuff can't go wrong. Best place to get Optimum from is DI. For sure. Best service.

Great product, super easy to apply!

I tend to over-think a lot of things, and application of this stuff was one of them.

I had the most difficult time learning how to lay this down. To the point of spraying it on the paint, and wiping it off with a microfiber towel. I also used it a lot as a drying aide, but could never lay it down right using the applicator.

As a result. I never cared for the look or performance it left behind. When I purchase a paint protection product, I expect crazy water beading, and I wasn't getting it out of Opti-Seal.

Very recently I decided to do a deep dive into what this product can offer, and have now learned how to properly apply it with the foam applicator. While I'm still not getting the desired water behavior, I am getting great water repellency, incredible gloss - unexpected gloss actually. I had no idea something that looks like straight water could impart such beauty onto the paint.

So, be advised that sometimes there is a learning curve. I try not to lay blame on products until I've exhausted all possibilities of user error. Opti-Seal is a strong, dependable sealant with many uses. Also works great as a base for Optimum Car Wax, which is another favorite of mine. I also offer Gloss Coat to my clients, and Opti-Seal allows for quicker pick up than having to wait a day for curing.

Yes, I will absolutely buy this again.

*Update*

1. I got those pretty water beads when I apply Opti-Seal after polishing with Hyper Polish.

2. I applied to a brand new lawn mower, and it kept it cleaner than if I hadn't put Opti-Seal on it.

3. Works great on windshield glass, works a lot like RainX.

4. A must for protecting a curing Gloss Coat (after a 60 minute set up time).

My favorite sealant. Just wipe on--thats it! Also makes a great glass cleaner with some good hydrophobic effects.

Great drying aid.

Worked really well for a while. My long commutes in the winter tend to leave a lot of contamination on the lower half of my car. It works pretty well, repels water, etc. off the top half of my car still, but I'll need to do a better wash with either the Power Clean that I bought or maybe just a quick wipe down with some ONR.
My initial application was done by spraying a little on a microfiber drying towel after an ONR wash. Then I went over it again with more Opti-Seal using a foam applicator, letting it dry for a minute or so and then wiping it off.
Gave my new CX-5 a nice shine, and I plan to continue using it when I detail my car.

Works great!

Great product but that's what I expect from Optimum. Super easy to work with and makes my Gloss Coat really pop. I also use it on my exterior glass and the water just beads up and runs off. Fantastic product and a little goes a long way!

Amazing product. I use it as a drying aid after wiping a panel with ONR. Adds noticeable shine. Super quick. Adds no time to the wash and makes a difference in appearance. Definitely worth it.

First time that I have tried Opti-Seal and love it! I use my truck as my testing ground and this product amazed me. My truck looks as if I just polished it and it is very smooth to the touch. Best of all, I used very little product to it. I'm convinced.

Optimum Polymer did it right with this product. I routinely use it as a drying aid for client vehicles when I'm going for the extra pop during maintenance washes. Add Optimum Car Wax for that extra benefit and you're good to go. Very economical and easy application for all skill levels.

Very easy to use and hard to beat. This product is priced reasonably and does exactly what it is intended to do. It also works great on glass. Another great product from Optimum and offers superb protection and can also be used as a drying aid while providing quality protection to almost all exterior surfaces.

Super easy to use, great finish, definitely a good new addition to my arsenal. It saves so much time being used as a drying agent while adding protection.

This is by far the best sealant I've used. I use it primarily as a drying agent when washing with ONR. Highly recommend.

Two great things about Opti-Seal - 1) It can be applied as often as you want without dulling the finish, 2) it can be used as a drying agent allowing you to "dry" a rinseless wash in cold temps which is always a problem with waxes. I use rinseless wash 2 to 3 times a weeks due to high contaminate area. I use OS every other week to maintain water beading and shine. Last winter we got 2 hours notice of impending ice storm and I washed (Wolfgang Uber Rinseless Wash) and dried with OS in 28 degree temp. OS helped me get a dry finish with minimal buffing (Edgeless Double Thick towels) and the water beading helps reduce ice buildup, and allowed the ice to break off in sheets much earlier than other cars. This is a great winter protection product - highly recommend.

I applied opi-seal on a new car after using a mild clay bar. The result was amazing shine and slickness. It's so easy to apply to a clean, dry car, but I really like that it can be used as a drying aid when the car is washed, helping to keep the protection level high without any additional effort. Opti-seal is great on windows too, giving them some ability to sheet water. I'm using ONR for window cleaning and I add a spritz of opti-seal for the outside windows to help get a streak free result. Opti-seal is a fantastic product.

This is my second go round of this product, I returned the first bottle to the company since I felt like it was too streaky and didn't really last. I don't know what's different about it this time but I'm much happier, it does add some gloss and I like that it can be applied on any surface. It makes protecting the everyday work vehicles much easier

Applies effortlessly and streakless when used sparingly. If high spots occur a light wipe with a microfiber removes it. A little goes a very long way. Protection lasts approximately seven weeks for a garaged California car. Product adds no shine or gloss. But does add a bit of slickness. I used Klasse acrylic aio and sg for years. It is the best for shine, durability, and protection without a doubt. I purchased a new vehicle with EXTREMELY soft paint and any product that requires any wiping ( I use a plush edgeless Korean microfiber) will marr the paint. So this is the only product that can be used. I don't mind having to reapply often because of its limited durability but let's face it, we all want shine from the products. Last night I was able to carefully remove a small section of the Klasse aio without marring so will go back to that but unfortunately won't be able to add the sg on top. Perhaps this product may add some additional protection to the aio.

Opti-Seal plays nice with Collinite waxes. I have 476 on hood, front fascia, roof, and rear deck; 915 on the doors and qtr panels. All topped with 2 coats of Opti-Seal - no problems. This is now bird bomb, rain, and bug proof with high water beading for Pac NW winter (50in of rain in my area). I maintain with various water-less washes due to high iron/calcium home water content - Pinnacle Liquid Crystal (low surface dirt), Wolfgang Uber or Opti-Clean (higher lubricity for higher dirt levels) or ONR (as final cleaning after one of first 3 when re-coating with Opti-Seal). I also use Chem Guy Extreme Slick Synthetic Detailer for drying aid & to maintain slickness - plays nice with all water-less washes and really helps reduce wiping in high-humidity winter weather. I sometimes add Optimum Car Wax for added protection, or Pinnacle Liquid Crystal Spray Wax for max pop on Jet Black Nissan.

I use opti-seal on almost all surfaces of a vehicle. It's just so simple to apply. It makes a great drying aid for a vehicle that is coated with Gloss Coat and washed with Optimum No Rinse. Great product that leaves behind some nice gloss and slickness. 1 spray goes a long way. I would recommend picking up the Optimum Opti-Dual Pro Applicator as it's perfect for applying opti-seal.

My favorite sealant, much easier to use than Reload. Longevity and slickness are top-notch as well.

I'm a do it yourselfer that likes to keep my vehicles clean. This product added that gloss after my truck was cleaned and polished. Very easy to use and a little goes a long way.

Great product. Very easy to apply. Looks "blazing in the hot arizona sunlight. After a couple of weeks applied a second coat, not that it needed it. Just me, I guess. A very good product and cheaper than so called sealers out there.

Very easy to use, the results are stunning. Like the directions say, wipe on ..walk away. View the results. Its was applied to a new grey, Toyota pick up.There was no prep needed it was applied over 5 coats of liquid glass. Have been using that product for 30 years. Then applied 2 coats of opti seal.

For the record, I'm a rookie when it comes to detailing, so take that into account if you've reached this review. Having said that, Opti-seal is very easy to use, isn't messy, and like many have said, a little goes a long way. End result is a very shiny car with minimal effort.

Just ordered Opti-Seal while D.I. had a 20% off sale. Decontaminated and polished a 2000 Honda CR-V then applied the sealant. Super easy to use and left the finsh glossy and smooth.
I will update further down the road with longevity.

My first experience with a WOWA product. So I don’t have much to compare. But I must say, I had a great experience with this product and we all know (least I do) anything Optimum sells is top notch. Optimum doesn’t just make products to make products. You will never see them heavily overlapping products to make an extra buck. They simply release products after much R&D, I feel very comfortable when purchasing something from them.

Anyway, it’s a breeze to apply. I like to spray the applicator instead of the vehicle panel. I do about 1-2 sprays per panel. Spread real well and knock down the high spots with a microfiber. One thing with this product, it really doesn’t look all that shiny at first. But the next day you will see the shine for sure. I was concerned at first, but this is what I’ve found with the 2 vehicles I have done.

Oh and it’s been 4 weeks since application on 2 cars and water is beading like crazy!

Just did my first detail with this product. Everything they claim is true ... ease of use and a little goes a L-O-N-G way. I started out on the hood of a Benz. Had to adjust downward the amount of product I was applying. Don't know about longevity; but I gave it back to the customer in the pouring rain and it was beading like crazy. He drives this car back and forth from Chicago to metal processing plants in Pennsylvania. Should be torture for any LSP. We'll see in a month or so. Fastest LSP I've ever used!

After years of spending too much time waxing and buffing away needless residue this product seemed to good to be true. I thought I'd give it a try and was very pleased. Takes no more than 10 minutes to do the entire car with no elbow grease required. After a few hours, the surface becomes extemely slick and shiny. Can't comment on durability, but even if it only lasts a few weeks it's still worth it considering low time investment and how little product is required to get the job done.

great, easy to use. goes a long way, just takes a couple of misting sprays to do a panel.

Great product. Super easy to use and the bottle will last for at least 50 uses. It really doesn't need much to do a good job. And it beads like crazy, at least for the first few weeks.

Great sealant! we mainly use it to seal wheels or top off a previous coat of sealant after a wash to keep up the durability. All around great product.

Opti-Seal is one of the best paint sealants out there for it's ease of use and price value! It can be used on paint, chrome, wheels, glass, trim, plastics, tail lights, head lights, etc. This should be in every detailers tool box in my opinion!

This stuff is awesome. By far the easiest product I have ever used. First time using a sealant, and I was done with my first coat in under 20 minutes.

Some say it doesn't last as long as Klasse but for a product that's so easy to apply, I won't mind doing it once every 2-3 months, two coats at a time.

My coats have been on for about a month and it's still working, although not as well as on day one. Those who say it can last 6 months to a year must be garaging it and living in a nice area.

By far the easiest way to wax your vehicle. Pro: Relatively cheap, easiest application method for wax, good for Wash & Wax sessions. Con: Not the maximal in appearance , streaky sometimes, relies on the preparation of the surface. I've found the key to applying this product is to have a very clean cool surface, spray into a thick microfiber and gently wipe the surface. I've found more often than not the foam applicator goes a bit heavy, but its still a very viable way to apply this product. Amazing easy to do your car in less than 10 minutes. Wait 1 hour and reapply to ensure you have complete coverage. Follow up with Optimum Car wax and you'll have an even better finish. By far the easiest LSP you can ever apply.

In a word, AWESOME! Opti-seal is very quick and easy to apply and gave my car very nice, wet look shine. Appears to hold up pretty well too!

I have been using this sealant for 4 months now. Its perfect for my customers wheels, and I always use it as a first step in any of my wax jobs. I used two coats of this stuff on my 4runners roof over a month ago and although it isn't beading like freshly done 1 day old sealant, it is still beading pretty crisply. I will definetely purchase this sealant again.

Overall I've found Optimum products to be some of the best in the business and Optimum Opti-Seal is no exception.

Optimum Opti-Seal goes on so easily it takes some of the fun out of detailing if you like to spend allot of quality time with your vehicles. Once the surface is cleaned and prepped, I can apply the correct amount of product to the entire car in 20 minutes!

Optimum Opti-Seal immediately turns the surface glossy providing the user with visual assurance that the product was applied correctly and it's doing its job.

When compared to other sealants Optimum Opti-Seal seems more like one of the newer nano coatings in it ease off application and level of shine and protection.

After washing. it's clear to see that the product is still present protecting the finish. After drying I've applied a coat of Optimum Spray Wax on top to give it added shine and slickness..

I asked whether I would I buy Optimum Opti-Seal again the answer would be an astounding YES...

I am a former detail shop owner. I have been out of the business professionally since 1992 and obviously much has changed. I have stayed up to date with current trends as much as possible. Opti-Seal has exceeded my expectations. I have used it on three vehicles, two silver and one pearl white. As you know, it can be difficult to get those colors to really "pop."This stuff does it. I have topped it with Optimum Car Wax and really like the look. Durability is solid. One of my vehicles is outside 24/7 in North Carolina and you can expect a good three months. Highly recommended.

I've used several sealants and waxes. This is not only easy to use but the results are outstanding. My stock wheels are a pain to clean and wax with regular wheel waxes. Opti-seal made the job much easier and I liked the results better. On paint the results were good enough to make me forget about waxing after applying Opti-seal.

optimum line products are great and this is no exception to the rule.

I just finished washing my car with Optimum No Rinse and for the first time I applied the Opti-Seal and all I can say is WOW. I waxed and sealed with many other products but this product really makes a white car pop. It produces a great watery shine. It is just beautiful to look at. It is super easy to apply. Just spray and buff. I have to say this bottle will probably last me 15 to 20 applications. This product is amazing. It needs to go on sale more often so I can stock up.

Add my raves for this incredible product. It was my first experience with a WOWA product and as others note, it has a fantastic shine, excelent longevity and the ease of use and value is superb. I keep discovering new uses for it around the house. Protecting shower surrounds, tile & grout surfaces, shower glass and mirrors keeps crud from adhering and makes the next cleanup a wipe-off affair. Splatter on bathroom mirrors simply wipes off clean and they no longer fog. Tried it on appliances small and large, countertops.. anything I want to shine, protect and make easier to clean. A little goes a long, long way making it very cost effective.

When giving the outside windows on my house a fall cleaning I tried Opti Seal on one of the outside windows. The improved appearance was outstanding but the real bonus is the glass dries spot-free and clean after rain making this chore a less frequent pain in the neck. I ended up putting Opti Seal on the outside of all my windows as well as skylights. I even sealed my satellite dish expecting wet snow to no longer stick and block the signal. Optimum has some great products, Opti Seal has to be near the top of the list!

This is a very good product! If you don't have a lot of time or just like to give your car a quick yet very wet shine and a little protection than this product is for you. Optimum has a fantastic line of products to choose from and this one is no different, its a grade above anything your going to get at the local parts store. As for wax in general however, Menzerna Power Lock and Blackfire are still the best in my opinion and nobody beats Menzerna when it comes to prep work such as compounds and polishes as they are the best hands down. Trust me I've tried them all!

I have a lot of confidence in Optimum products. I have yet to come a product of theirs that was not excellent. I was however a little concerned that this product would be too good to be true but it is amazing. I put it on my wifes silver Murano and my graphite 330i. It really adds a very nice gloss and holds up very well. I am looking forward to my next complete detail when I can see it after a fresh polish and wax. Great product.

This is now my go to sealant. The ease of application is the major selling point, but you can't argue with the shine it provides either. I used this on my windows, wheels, paint, and Lights. Amazing Product!

Awesome results - easy to apply and good shine when finished. Easy to apply although you need to be careful not to get too much in the applicator. Appears to hold up pretty well. Use it on paint and wheels.

Amazing results from a wipe on walk away product, will be using this exclusively until its no longer available..which I hope will be never...

All i can say for this stuff is WOW!! I must admit before using i was not a believer but after using this stuff It gives a great shine and depth to paint finish and goes on so easy and doesn't require wiping it off if used as directed. Also it sheets water unlike anything i have ever used in the past. Even after washing the car a couple times the protection is still as strong as ever and the paint is still very crisp and shinny. I know it looks like 8oz isn't alot but alittle of this stuff really does go a long way.

So easy to use. The results are outstanding

Very impressive! Easy to apply with included sponge and goes on with very little fluid used. Be careful not to over saturate your paint as 1 spray will cover a 4x4in or 5x5in area depending on the temperature of the surface.

I've sealed my vehicle and the wheels and the gloss is still evident after two washings and 2 weeks of daily driving. This just became a staple in my detail kit!

In one word, AWESOME! I applied this over a coat of Poli Seal and I loved it! This is one of the best sealants I've used in a long time!

Used opi-seal on my exhaust tips,wheels,
and plasic pieces on my car. Made all
items have some pop. Very impressive.
Works what more can say ??

Opti-seal is very quick and easy to apply and gave my car very nice, wet look shine.

The results this product gave me on white paint was superb. If you don't have a lot of time to spend on detailing your car, this is your product. Do a car in 5 minuts and see how your car glows. I love this stuff.
