Opticoat 2 and wax removal - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Anyone else think the stuff strips wax off? I'm using the new stuff that is supposed to have wax in it but I find after one or 2 washes with it, I need to rewax. Good news is that this wax that CD7 recommended, BFWD, is holding up to it better than any other wax I've tried.

After being Opti Coated you are not supposed to need to wax any more. Actually putting wax on the Opti coat does not work to well.

This post doesn't make any sense. I think you have some product names confused.

Right you are. I meant ONR. Too early. You guys are too fast!

babaron · 05-24-2014, 03:38 PM

So do any of you that use ONR experience this?

Opti-Coat 2.0 won't strip off wax, it is a coating to protect your finish, so waxing it won't don't anything but if you like doing this then go ahead. BFWD is a sealant to protect the finish and can be layer with wax.

What dilution ration are you using with ONR?

babaron · 05-29-2014, 05:55 AM

It's the labeled concentration. I think it's 1/2 oz./gallon H2O. The BFWD is holding up much better so I think it was a weaker wax that I used to use.
