Optimum Instant Detailer and Gloss Enhancer - Auto Detailing Quick Detailer Spray for Gloss and Shine, Safe for Cars, Trucks, Motorcycles, RVs (17 Oz)

Optimum Instant Detailer & Gloss Enhancer (OID) is a fantastic product and I'd highly recommend it! I use it primarily after washing and drying my car, to get any remaining water marks out and give it a quick shine. I start by using a large waffle weave microfiber towel to get off the majority of the remaining water, after using the sheeting method to get the initial bulk of it off. No swirling at all with the towel, just lay it over the portion of the car I'm drying and pull it off. There may be some remaining water streaks, but they'll come off with the OID. Now that the car is almost entirely dry, I go back with a thick weave microfiber polishing cloth and the OID. Just spray a little onto the car, wipe it in with the low nap side of the polishing cloth, and then go back over it one more time with the larger nap side. Only takes a couple minutes to do the whole car and the results are definitely worth the effort! The product is very easy to remove...nothing like a wax.My car is only a couple months old, so I've never had it detailed or put on any wax other than what the factory shipped it with (I'll be doing that shortly). However, the OID adds an incredible glass-like shine to the car and I honestly think it looks better than when I picked the car up from the showroom! Wax would obviously provide better protection, but this looks at least as good and takes only minutes. Note that while it's nice to keep in the car for quick touch ups, this is not a waterless wash product and shouldn't in place of washing your car.This is my first bottle and I purchased the 17oz version to see how I liked it. However, I'll definitely be purchasing the 32oz concentrate when this runs out, which is a significantly better deal!

I love Optimum products, this is great for a quick touch up after washing/waxing. Living in Florida when pollen is bad this is great to get that shine back the day after a wash/wax. You don’t need much so value for the money as well

Optimum Instant Detailer & Gloss Enhancer (OID) is an amazing product. I primary use it after washing my car when drying using two micro-fiber towels. One towel slightly damp and sprayed with OID to do the first wipe to remove the water, then a completely dry towel to lightly buff. This produces a great shine with no streaks. Using OID while drying the car also acts as a lubricant to prevent the towel from micro-marring the paint. For a much better value, I've switched to buying the 1 gallon concentrate rather than this ready-to-use 17oz version. The concentrate is mixed 3 parts water to 1 part OID, so the 1-gallon of concentrate makes 4-gallons (512oz) of detailer at less than 0.12 cents per ounce. I think this may be the best quick detailer out there, and the best value in the 1-gallon size (especially since it includes free shipping). However, the spray bottle is pretty poor, so I now use my own spray bottle. Because of the poor spray bottle I give the 17oz package 4-stars, but the product itself is 5-stars if you use your own spray bottle.

Ever since I’ve used the optimum line I have not gone back!This product adds to whatever product you have on top of your car. So if you washed your car and it is already shiny, this makes it look even better. I don’t really use this as a detailer but more so as a gloss enhancer. This gives it an additional mirror type of shine on top of what I have.So I usually start with an optimum no rinse wash, then use opticoat hyper seal(this one is a must have!) then after 30 minutes of applying hyper seal, I apply the instant detailer completing my carroom shine. I don’t always do the instant detailer since it’s a lot of work after each car wash but when I do it really makes a difference. Also I can always substitute the hyper seal with the instant detailer as it does give almost the same amount of shine but a different type of shine. The main reason I use the hyper seal over the instant detailer is because it works better as a drying aid. This instant detailer can be used as a drying aid as well.One of the best part of this product is the slickness if the car afterwards. You can feel it right away as everything slides off. Nothing sticks to my paint using the optimum line but out of the 3 optimum product, this one is the slickest

Love my new ONR + OID Maintenance Wash Method - Easy, Safe and Manageable! I picked up a bunch of new small microfiber towels and two handheld pump sprayers one of which I dunk in the ONR bucket of distilled water solution. I spray the car down with the pump sprayer ONR solution first, followed by a wipe with a damp ONR soaked micro-fiber cloth only making one pass on each clean folded side. While still damp I take the second pump sprayer filled with the OID solution and spray down the panel just washed. To finish I dry and lightly buff each panel with a clean and soft micro-fiber drying towel. The result is a perfect glass finish in half the time of a traditional rinse and wash if maintained every 2-3 weeks. My Model 3 is a happy camper as am I. :P

I usually really like the product but this one arrived all scrapped up and without a spray head.

I am a huge fan of Optimum products, but this one is just ok. You get the shine and gloss in the beginning, the product definitely delivers on that. However, dust seems to stick more to my car a day after using it and then it loses the shine, negating the whole process. I don’t get that effect when using Optimum’s ONR, Opticoat and Optimum’s Spray wax.
