krod980 Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 Hi, I just got a new 09 Acura TSX and decided that I needed to upgrade my car products as well. I used to have an 05 Honda Civic and I used stuff from wallmart like Black Magic and such. In searching I found Optimum and liked how the products took little time, not bad on the environment and weren't too expensive. I have been waiting a few weeks since I got my shipment because here in Dallas its been pretty cold and some days it gets up to 70. I been waiting and waiting for a day that was warm enough and that I had the time. I actually had to take my car through a car wash, I said I never would but it was just so dirty. But the day finally came that I had a warm day and a little time. I first used ONR, and then clayed my car, then ONR again. Put a coat of OS, and then OCW. I was very impressed with so little time that it took. My car looked great, but after I read some more on these forums, and watching the toutorials I relized that I applied the OS wrong. I sprayed it on and then buffed it in with a MF cloth, instead of the applicator. So I think I wound up just wiping all the OS off. And then applied the OCW immediatly after the OS, without letting the OS dry. I also tried the OPP on my leather seats and it worked great! I liked how it smelled and didn't make the seats greasy. And the other day I touched up with the OID and was suprised at how it renewed the shine. Overall, I can definitly say that I am going to be a Optimum product lifer!!! I can't believe that I can get my car looking that good with so little time! When I orderd my shipment it came with a small gift bag and I gave it to my friend, so I'm waiting to see his reactions too. My other friend had just ordered a big Zaino kit and he said that it looked good, but not as good as he thought and that it took a lot of work. I can't wait for another warm day, its around 29 degrees today, so I can correctly apply the OS. I can only imagine how good it will look after I do it right!

dervdave Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 Hiaye, you haven`t gone far wrong because although you didn`t apply OS the usual method, you did use it the way I and a few others do which is to put OCW over OS that hasn`t fully cured. I find the finish to be slicker and more reflective this way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anthony Orosco Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 Welcome Actually you did not apply OS in as wrong manner as that's the way many people apply it, I being one of them. I usually spray onto a panel and then rub in with a towel. I apply my OS rather heavy and just let it sit. It will eventually all evaporate and then I may go over that with something else or I may just appply another OS layer. Take care, Anthony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
