    Poli-Seal topped with Opti-Seal topped with OCW on a silver car = amazing.

    Looks great! When I saw the background I thought, "Jeez that looks like Colorado..." Then I saw your avatar! I lived in the Springs for about 6 years! I lived up north a bit off Lexington near Rampart High! God I miss downtown, Old Chicago, Ritz, Manitou :(.

    Are you topping your Glasur with OCW?

    If so does it change the characteristics of the Zymol?

    I did it one time and saw no difference in the looks, i prefer zymol field glaze but its soo expensive i just save it for special occasions

    Could you tell much difference between the field glaze and the OCW?

    I read on another detail board that some are using Sonus Carnauba spritz and Britemax S6 over their Zymol waxes and are pleased with them.

    Supposedly these QD's have a high Carnauba content as well as the Zymol. One guy even said the Britemax spray and shine was the closest to his field glaze in his opinion.

    I guess I'll have to spend more money and try a few QD products. LOL

    truth be told i've only used the field glaze twice, once to make sure the wax doesnt sweat (didnt alter the zymol shine at all). the second time was after a wash to see what it does and pretty much restored the zymol shine.

    OCW did the same thing however it didn't look like when i had done the application of wax more like fk425 if anything.

    I should try those QD's but truth be told i feel kind of bad if i use anything other than zymol field glaze on the estate glaze line. if it was carbon or even another carnauba i wouldnt care too much....

    hope that made sense:crasy:

    does OCW have any filling abilities?

    Looks great, I too love OCW and it lasts a good while not like a booster spray wax
