Optimum Car Wax Reviews

Full-on-tilt avoid. Optimum you own this. It's now regulated to inside fender-wells and rims with zero chance I will ever buy another gallon of this junk.

I will agree with those in the "no" category in that this wax lacks slickness compared to other, cheaper competitors. It applies easy enough but has little to no chemical resistance. Even mild detergents seem to degrade it in one swoop and the beading and water shedding was nothing to write home about. That said, it's the only Optimum product that has left me wanting. Ever.

Purchased this product simply to see how it worked with ONR Rinseless wash.
Used as a drying aid and shown on the OPT YouTube channel.
Very slick surface and very satisfied with the product.

Really good drying aid, adds great gloss and some slickness. Can't go wrong.

Great product.

Optimum car wax seems to last much longer than many of the spray wax products that I've used. It's also a good drying aid.

Stop scrolling and buy the wax, I promise you it's worth every penny. I was hesitant at first because of the price but the depth of gloss and glow this product leaves is insane. Use it in your ONR wash as a drying aid for a quick and brilliant shine. During a waterless wash, use Opti-Clean, wipe the surface, then use a small spritz and buff the area dry for the quickest wash and wax you will ever do. Seriously this wax lives up the hype and leaves the paint looking almost polished.
I use it in conjunction with the ultra clay towel to perform a wash, clay, and wax 3in1.

I love the way it makes any vehicle look great

Even though the industry is obsessed with ceramics, graphenes, and anything that produces micro beads of water, doesn't take away the performance aspects of Optimum Car Wax.

1. Great protection. OCW can even buy some time against bird droppings! Holds up a good while. Months at a time.
2. Gorgeous warm gloss glow, with a slick feeling finish.
3. Super easy application. Simply spray and wipe. Done.
4. Smells incredible. You'll be wisked away to a beautiful, sunny tropical island sipping piña coladas in the garage as the snow storm rages outside...

Like Opti-Seal and Gloss Coat, washing is easy with Opti-Clean, and ONR. With ONR and the Big Red Sponge, as the solution is applied to Optimum protected surfaces, the dirt gets caught in the solution and rolls off the finish.

OCW also makes a great drying aide. Refreshes the protection as it helps more efficiently with the drying process.

Aside from vehicle finishes. I also use OCW on my lacquer finish, birdseye maple drum workshop drum set.

If you keep your expectations reasonable, not obsessed with the cult of tiny beads, you can use OCW to make protecting your paint simple, easy, and fast.

Will definitely buy again.

Almost hard to believe how easy it is to use and the results that you get! I've used other spray waxes - but none match ease of use and results. It goes on nearly all of my customers cars (I apply over Optimum Opti-seal usually). Definitely worth the money!

Great product, easy to apply. Looks great

Great drying aid. I use it almost every wash. It leaves a great finish, greatly helps with drying, and leaves a slick surface. Excellent product.

What a great product...better than Mothers spray wax and Meguiar's ... Easy spray on and very easy to wipe off

This works great ! It is easy to use and remove. Leaves a slick finish . It makes waxing a lot faster.

This is the Good Stuff.....After wash spray on,wipe off and buff a little....Super slick and shiny.....My go to after wash!!!!

This car wax is by far one of the easiest waxes to apply and is pretty durable for a wax! The wax I would say realistically gets four months which compared to most waxes I have used is really good. For anyone who's running a shop this is a absolute must have!

This is one of the few spray waxes that I feel gives me real paint protection. Optimum provides UV protection and paint protection that can last up to 5 months. I can't think of any other spray wax that provides that kind of protection. A definite must in my detail arsenal.

I really like what it adds when I can do a ONR Wash. If the car(s) are not too bad, I pre-spray with ONR solution and let it dwell a moment. Gently wash with Optimum No Rinse and the Big Red Sponge a panel at a time. 1 or 2 quick sprays before drying. Perfect...

Makes waxing a car a breeze. Used it for the first time today and it took me 20 minutes to wax my GTI. Not sure how long it will last though.

A great quick and easy way to wax a car. I can wax a car in 20-30 minutes with Optimum Car Wax. I have found that the spray wax is a little difficult to work with on a hot surface. Just be sure your paint is cool and you should be good to go. The wax offers a good amount of protection. My wife loves how "smooth" the door handles are once I have used this product.

Great spray wax with an awesome smell. Very easy to use which saves time. You just wipe on and wipe off. I used an orange 303 micro fiber and it worked great. One of the easiest spray waxes I have ever used. Nice product.

I have been using this product for a little over a year now. I have found it to be a great wax to maintain a car once properly detailed. It gives great beading, has little to no issues with residue and streaking, and lasts a fair time for what it is. To me it is a good maintaining wax if applied every 2-2.5 weeks. I will mention that i tested out on a panel that was warm to the touch and it was not a pleasant experience, so make sure the surface is cool to the touch.

First time using this product. Very impressed with it. Used many products before. Because, I clean my car often. Easy use, and great reflection! I would recommend.

I have used this wax for over a year on a new black SUV, based upon extensive research. Easy to apply and great protection. I would definitely recommend this wax..

Makes my black Camry look like it has a German paint job. So easy to use. Is staying on even after several automatic car washes. Great service.

Must say I was very impressed of how easy it was to apply and remove. I also was surprised of the wax that can last up 5 months of protection, specially being a liquid wax. Will be purchasing more in the near future. HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT!

OK wax...not as slick and crisp a finish as Pinnacle Spray Wax (summer), and not as hydrophobic as Meguiars Ultimate Spray Wax (winter).

wonderful product gave car a great shine

Great shine and finish. It's as simple as washing the car, drying it, spraying it down, then wiping it off. Great stuff.

Great!! Used over carpro reload

OPTIMUM CAR WAX is a fabulous product, very easy to apply - just spray and wipe

Great product for easy waxing. After a wash simply spray it on and wipe it off with a mcrofiber towel. Insanely easy to use and give s a great shine to the car. The lasting protection is similar to a normal wax-a few weeks.

Overall, great product, great results, and great price. Thumbs up for this one.

Very good product to use easy steps and leaves it with good shine and protection

This wax is great. Very easy to apply and no waiting for haze to wipe off. I put this on my old truck that
has been re-painted. Put it on three weeks ago and still protecting. I love that butter feel.

Optimum spray was is a really effective spray on application that works well in between details for that added protection and gloss. It's easy to apply but can leave streaks if the paint is too hot or it is left on too long.

great item easy on easy off !

The shine is great and lasts a long time. I used to use Meguiars quick detail wax. Never again. I will be purchasing more of this today for myself and friends.

I used this on my daily driver, which is my test mule for all detailing products I try out, and I so far am happy with the results. After a wash, I would use quick detailer, but the gloss just didn't last so I started using Meguiars Ultimate Spray wax (purchased over the counter). I like the idea of the quick/easy application of a spray and good gloss that lasts that comes with wax. While Meguiars provided really nice gloss, it had zero protection and washed off in 1 rain. Note that I do have a paint sealer beneath it for real protection, but the vehicle is parked outdoors and is driven daily, so it's exposed to harsh conditions.

I tried the optimum spray wax and have endured some harsh conditions since I applied it (rain, snow, salt). I have to say, the gloss and protection have held up for over 3 weeks now. I can't get over the depth of gloss even through the dirt on the vehicle. Bottom line, I like it and will continue to use it over my base sealer for that depth and longer lasting protection.

This is my go to quick wax between big details. It works so well and is easy to use I have bought two other bottles as gifts. This is a great product.

ocw is a Great product. It works as good or better than most waxes on the market, and last for months

I bought a second bottle for my neighbor after he used mine and was blown away by the shine and finish. It's a great fill in wax between my annual major clean up. Next time I will buy the gallon size.

Great product. Easy on, easy off and leaves a great deep gloss shine.

Optimum Car Wax is one of my favorite products. I use it most often for final drying. It is very easy to use. Spray it on, wipe it on with one side of your plush microfiber towel, and off with the other side. You get great shine and some sort term protection. Please do not expect beading and protection that lasts. Optimum Car Wax does not provide it.

Great product. For the past 3 years I was using Ardex waxes on my cars. This wax took my car to a different level when came to gloss and depth of color. It does take at least 2 coats to the difference. After that use a mild shampo to wash and the shine will last. Yes I will buy this product again.

OCW left a nice shine on my 2006 TL. I look forward to doing a complete detail when the weather gets better.

While the product is easy to use, slickness and beading is very short term. Optimum claims this product lasts up to 5 months. This product lasts up to 2 months for me, therefore, to say this product lasts up to 5 months is nothing but a blanket statement, and is misleading.

I really like the ease of use, I top it over opti seal and the paint is really slick. my car looks great. another product that I bulk up on.

While great for a spray way its durability leaves a bit to be desired. Slickness and beading quickly diminished. While its hard to expect miracles from a spray way there are better products out there priced competitively.

My favorite spray wax to date. Finally used up the spray bottle size and bought the bulk quantity. Lasts as long as some liquid waxes and it is much easier to apply.

I don't know why I waited so long to try this product since I love other Optimum products so much. This is fantastic stuff. I applied it on top of Opti-Seal and it provides added depth, shine and wetness. It also makes the paint extra slick, and definitely does not attract dust. An incredibly easy way to maintain protection. Just don't let it dry before buffing off. Highly recommended.

Be very careful to follow the directions and do not let the product dry on the surface. If you do, you will be rewarded with great pain. Provided you don't make my initial mistake, you'll find it very easy, very durable and very shiny. Excellent product. Makes cleaning the car easier as well.

Provides about 5-6 weeks of protection even during a Florida summer. Easy application and almost no buffing to remove. As simple as using a quick detailer.

This wax is a "band-aid" type fix for a quick cover up of a vehicle. I am dissappointed that after only two days in the rain there are run marks and the wax traps a LOT of particles from the rain and nature. I will be using this bottle up quickly and not purchasing again.

However it does provide a decent shine with minimal ghosting and is very easy to apply. Simply spray and wipe onto pre-sealed paint.

Optimum Car Wax is super easy to use, gives great-looking results, and has better durability than most other waxes and sealants. Seems to be very friendly on chrome, glass, and plastic as well. Leaves the paint super slick. I love using this regularly on my wheels; I spray it on and wipe it off after every car wash. Helps reduce brake dust build-up and gives the wheels a great shine.

OCW is insane!

I cant believe how slick this product leaves the surface. Deep gloss and an extreme shine on white paint.

Spray it on, easy to use, and quick. Cant beat it.
