Nano products are something very different, such as Nanolex (http://www.nanolex.de/en) or Wolfs product range. True nano products form a temporary bond to the paint and repel water and dirt. Opti-Coat is a mostly permanent clear coat which can only be removed with a stage 1 cut.
No way you should ever layer wax & a nano-product. Both are sealants and mixing them wouldn't work.
You're totally right about the Opti-Coat- it's a pre-polymer resin! I removed the information about the nano-coatings.

Can you explain your "Wax is a sealant" comment? Sealants are commonly referred to as water-based products that form thin/hard barriers while waxes are commonly softer/thicker and carnauba based.
