Optimum (SW2008G4) Car Wax - 1 Gallon, (Case of 4)

This stuff is amazing. My husband ran out of Griot's Garage Spray on Wax and I came to Amazon to check their prices. I stumbled onto Optimum's Car Wax (OCW) and it's much better than what he’s been using. This has more wax in it and a little goes a long way - one spray per panel is plenty. He’s now almost completely converted to Optimum's products.All of Optimum's products I've purchased get 5 stars for ease of use and outstanding results. He used OCW as a main/base coat of wax and it looks fantastic. The shine is much deeper than GG Best of Show wax and it's easier to apply: just spray it on, wipe it around the panel, then wipe it off with a dry towel. The finish is very shiny and very slick. If you like the slick and shiny look you will love this. It's also easier to remove dust between washes with a car duster. The paint is 15 years old and it now looks new.Make sure your towels are clean and dry on the final wipe or you'll have streaking. Again, a little goes a long way. Use one towel to apply and a separate towel to buff/remove. Don't let it dry and don't apply it in direct sunlight. If you're getting streaks, you're using too much product or you're not using a dry towel on the final wipe and buff.He’s also using Optimum's Instant Detailer and Gloss Enhancer, and their No Rinse Wash and Wax as a touch-up detailer as needed: 2 ounces of ONRW mixed with 32 ounces of distilled water in spray bottle works great. All of Optimum's products he’s used are amazing and this one is his favorite.Update 12-16-15So, my husband is on the same application from this initial review. The paint is still very shiny even after multiple washes, baking in the sun all summer, and the occasional rain storm during fall. He also used it on the headlights and tail lights to keep them looking new. He still uses a car duster to remove light dust and the No Rinse Wash and Wax detailer solution between washes. Love it!Update 5-30-2020My husband finally finished the bottle I purchased 6 years ago. This is hands down the best spray wax he’s EVER used. It’s not quite as “deep” as a liquid or paste wax. But those are a PITA to apply, only last 2-3 washes, and more for show cars than daily drivers.All he uses to maintain our cars is a clay bar every 4-5 months (Griot’s is the best) with the No Rinse Wash and Wax as a solution. Then he’ll seal it with Opti Seal, finish up with Spray Wax, and use the No Rinse detailer spray in between washes.This product is fantastic, the sprayer - not so much. He ended up reusing one of his empty Griot’s Garage spray bottles and fills it up as needed. Very easy to use with excellent results and HIGHLY recommended!

I will start by saying there are a lot of negative reviews about this product that are due to simply misuse of the product. Streaking happens when you use too much of do not buff with a dry side of the towel. It should be limited to 2 sprays per panel MAX. 3 maybe for a large hood or SUV doors.In my experience as a professional detailer this product outweighs them all.Pros:- Easy to use- Fast to use- Great quality sprayer- Good quality bottle- Fantastic smell- Swirl free- Contains carnauba AND polymersCons:- Must understand how to use itTalking about durability which is very hard to measure based on conditions, I will be able to update the review based on my experience. So far it has lasted longer than Meguiar’s x-press Wax for my and durability is comparable to any spray wax. Will update in a few months after thorough analysis.Using this wax is very simple. One spray per panel, put your towel where you sprayed the wax and wipe it in to the panel. After you see streaking start to fade, flip the towel and complete buffing. Whole car can be done in 15 minutes with ease.The appearance is fantastic just like any other wax I have used. It beads water very well like you’d expect. The slickness is not anything special but it’s comparable to most other spray waxes on the market. The carnauba inside does a good job of giving that glow you want from a good wax. Great product!!I will update my review after a few months of use.

I love everything about Optimum. Amazing products and well worth the price for the convenience. I am new to the great products, and think they are revolutionary.

I use this along with the Optimum no rinse car wash products. It's easy to use, just follow the instructions.

I had high hopes for this wax but that quickly disappeared after I first tried it. I washed the car, dried it and immediately sprayed the product on the clean surface. Unfortunately I sprayed the entire hood. This wax is junk. It streaked so bad I couldn't believe it. I buffed until my arm hurt and finally I got it to look just ok. I used Meguiars on the rest of the car. So, now it is a couple of weeks later and the Optimum wax on the hood is gone. The Meguiars is still looking good. So, thinking it might be that one car, I tried one of my other cars. Guess what, same result. This wax is a disaster. Don't buy this stuff unless you plan to do more work that you would do with any paste wax. It is junk in a spray bottle.

I recently tried Optimum Car Wax and found it to be a decent choice for a quick waxing job. The spray application is convenient and saves time, though the shine doesn't last as long as some other waxes I've used. It's a good option for regular maintenance, but if you're looking for a deep, long-lasting gloss, you might want to consider something else.

Good Quality

I spray this on my Tesla to clean the front. I let it sit a few minutes while I prepare the rest of my carwash items. All of the dried up bug residue cleans up with one wipe after allowing it to sit a few minutes. It is not harsh on my paint, and my car shines like new once I finish.

Mon auto est comme neuve! Un très beau lustre sans trop l’être ! Important !!!! Un seul pwish par panneau. Sinon c’est du gaspillage.Cette cie prône le concept de moins tu en utilise, mieux ce sera !

Everything came perfectly well packaged. Great product love using it as a drying aid and topping my wax coats.

Excellent easy to use spraywax that actually last a month.

application rapide

One of the easiest waxes to use. Works even better when used with other optimum products as they are designed to work together.
