Optimum Car Wax - Underrated Product

I just started using OCW and cant say enough good things about it.

Inexpensive, easy to use, glossy, and adds protection.

I applied it to my Infiniti on Saturday. I soaked the car with a hose then proceeded to get the car from 0-60mph as quickly as possible.

The water rolled off the hood with ferocity. The water splashed against the windshield with power. I couldn't believe it.

I stripped the car on Saturday after that test and just did a clean-up with Optimum Poli-Seal, Optimum Opti-Seal, and Optimum Car Wax.

Surface is slick and glossy. I cant speak about the durability, but thus far the product is a hit.

I have had good experiences with optimum products as well, although I don't use the OCW. I use DG AW instead as my topper since I can get it locally and I go through it decently fast. Glad to see you like it though, it has generally positive reviews on autopia.org

Optimum car wax is definitely under appreciated. It is probably more so due to marketing than anything else.

I love their QID's, opti seal and car wax.

However I usually use their car wax after I have applied a paste wax to a vehicle. Adds more pop to it.

How do you find the ONR? I have yet to try it out. I may give it a whirl this winter when I detail.

I always heard great stuff about ONR, and always thought maybe its just hype. but once you try it, its a really good product. It cleans really well, with no swirl marks what so ever, and leaves a "fresh wax" look.
