Default Waxed my car using Optimum Poli Seal last night

I realized the wax the dealer put on must have washed away because there were no water beads when I washed the car. In a panic, I grabbed my Poli Seal (unused) and applied the wax by hand using a micro fiber applicator pad, buffed off by hand.

Just want to say how much I love this wax! Easy on and off, no white residue, removed 70% of light swirl marks, left the car with a wet paint look! Very cool! Also left my car with that ultra smooth feel to the touch. Shows the paint is clean! I only have to wonder how it would come out using my Porter Cable (burried in my garage that is filled with basement stuff as I rennovate the basement)?

Took a few pics (this post would be useless without them, I know)!

I actually forgot where I got the wax. Bought it late last year before I sold my 944. I think I got it from Autogeek, or Autopia.

Hmm. I'm personally a fan of Mother's 3 stage system.... amazing the finish that you can acheive - especially with the orbital buffer.

Which is why I love Klasse AIO so much. Single application and it looks great for months!

I've been using Poli-seal and I'm very impressed with it. I put it on 3 months ago and it's still looks good on my daily driver C4S. I used to use NXT and it looked great for about a week or two; nowhere near as durable as this stuff.

Years ago I used Liquid Glass on my Mustang when I had it in England. It was the best stuff I found for the car since it rained there more often than here in California (btw...I am from England).

That stuff kept the paint looking great. Anyone else have experience with Liquid Glass? I haven't used it on my Porsche though.
