    Just thought I would share a few beading pictures with Opti-Seal on the car after a few months. Keep in mind while looking at these that the car is completely filthy from the winter storms we have been having here in Ohio.

    Do you hand wash or go to an automatic wash bay? Regularly or not often? How many coats of this were put on? Daily driver?

    Sorry to interrogate, I just want to know the conditions the sealant has been prone to.

    Sure looks good though.

    The car has only had weekly rinseless washes since the opti-seal was applied.

    1 coat was applied

    The car is a DD, it sits outside in the elements during the day and is garaged at night.

    wow that is really impressive!
    I guess common perception is that if its easy to use it must not last long

    Yeah that theory has been shot to hell. This car sees some serious crap throughout the week.

    Did you apply any to the windshield and/or windows? I'm curious as to how effective it is since I want to find a good window sealant.

    Hood and roof, I was just taking pictures after the ice melted when i pulled it in the garage. The lower side panels are doing just as well ;)

    Opti-seal works really well on windows, beads nicely too. It's lasted 2-2.5 months so far. I have not however put any on windshields..

    Well its been almost another month so here is a couple updated pics

    Still looking good!!! Oh and again the car is filthy in these pics. I know the beading would be even better if I would have washed it.
