Jdreg Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 Hi Would a wash n wax type shampoo, from a reputable brand , have any positive or negative affect on an OS treated paint. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron@Optimum Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 Sometimes wash products from other manufacturers can have different effects on wax/sealants - but in general there shouldn't be any negative reaction with Opti-Seal.

A&J Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 Depends on the wash&wax shampoo...some will add shine but mask LSP, some will add temporary protection and so on... in short it will definitely change how opti seal behaves.

Ron@Optimum Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 don't necessarily agree with A&J, depends on the product. Some but not all can affect shine or water behavior - Optimum does not test our products with competitors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jdreg Posted December 12, 2018 Author Share Posted December 12, 2018 I’ve read on here that applying wax over OS is ok. Would that depend on the type of wax. Would this be a different situation than the wash and wax. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No Soap Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 If it is a Optimum product we know there will be no problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jdreg Posted December 12, 2018 Author Share Posted December 12, 2018 It’s just general knowledge for me. I’m moving to all optimum products, and have previous products I can either use up or get rid of. Two examples are mothers California gold wash n wax with Carnuba and megs ultimate quick wax. Sometimes at a show you get some samples to try, which can be fun, but maybe now I shouldn’t. I’m new to this polymer type products and don’t want to mess up. thanks to all for you time and patience Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No Soap Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 I would say just use those products and see what happens? I bet nothing really bad will happen. Don't overthink it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olds394 Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 I’m with the OP, and have a shelf full of products. You know it’s bad when I’m polymer sealing the trash cans just to use up product. Where’s the lawnmower? Lol No Soap 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron@Optimum Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 I've frequently washed my riding lawn mower with leftover ONRWW - have a very shiny Husqvarna. No Soap, Aerou and Mr.Outback 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Setec Astronomy Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 Ha, don't we all have that problem with too many products and not enough things to use them on...sometimes I'm really happy when something goes bad and I can throw it out without guilt. As far as the question, those wash & wax products shouldn't hurt Optiseal, any more than any kind of wash/abrasion/drying is going degrade your LSP (Last Step Product, wax or sealant), but as previously noted, it may change the beading behavior of the Optiseal temporarily. So I don't think you're "messing up" by using them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
