Ron@Optimum Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 Instant Detailer is a light cleaner and great gloss enhancer. I would not consider it replacement for Wax - on the positive side, it will clean and is a drying aid, but it's not nearly as durable.

Detail Mutant Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 I typically apply one full spray OID per panel (4-6 sq. ft surface area) but usually reserve for use on a dry car to boost gloss. I find Hyper Seal is a better drying aid on a ceramic coated car than OID as it adds additional protection (SiO2 based spray sealant). When using ONR to wash, you don't typically need a drying aid for the added lubrication. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A&J Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 OID is not same as the car wax. OID is a light cleaner / gloss enhancer with very minimal protection. My experience with it very good as its a very easy to use product...Ive used it speringly and liberally and it always flashed off nicely and produced great results with no smears or any other signs. But...as with every OPT products less is more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
