Heijneker 32 Posted November 20, 2020 As the title implies, can I use Optimum Opti-Seal as intented (WOWA) after having used Optimum Instant Detailer as a drying aid with ONR. Will it migrate under the instant detailer or will it remove it? And what if, I used BOTH simultaneously as a drying aid? Would that work? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ron@Optimum 219 Posted November 20, 2020 I don't think there's any problem applying Opti-Seal over Instant Detailer. I can't speak to applying both simultaneously except to wonder why - seem overkill? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Heijneker 32 Posted November 20, 2020 Thanks! For timesaving, but just wanted to know if it was possible basically. ONR on itself really amazes me after every wash, due to how it makes the paint look. OID would increase that amazement, while Opti-Seal would provide the longer lasting protection and improved water-shedding behaviour. Of course Car Wax would be perfectly suited, but I want to try out different stuff! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Detail Mutant 20 Posted November 21, 2020 When applying to non-coated car maybe not an issue but when I did my optimization training with Yvan Opti-Seal was to be applied 1 hour after coating application (to protect during 1 week cure time) and then if you wanted to boost gloss, OID could be applied half an hour after Opti-Seal. The main purpose for OID is to enhance gloss which may be partially lost if applied first with Opti-Seal afterwards. I would consider reversing yor process with Opti-Seal as drying aid and OID applied afterwards. 1 Heijneker reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Whatever water is left in the car seals or whatever streaks Opti seal leaves behind OID will remove those and enhance gloss. I also think that would be the better option.
