Can someone tell me how i managed to dust OC?
Was working with a PC and orange P2 pad. I used OHC last week and loved it, no dusting.
I did notice i was moving alot slower this time though - as soon as i sped up, the OC didn`t dust anymore. So, was i just moving too slow, or is this a common issue with OC?

Is this the "new formula" or old stuff ?

Could be you were using too much, otherwise all Optimum polishes put out little to no dust.

Old
I was using just as much (or little i should say) as the OHC. The OC stopped dusting when i started moving the PC faster and applied less pressure. I wonder if i was moving too slow and pressing to hard, becasue as soon as i stopped it stopped dusting immediately, and gave me the results i`m looking for.
BTW: why would one use oc over ohc? I have all three opt polishes and am finding it hard to find a niche for the OC?

I too found that OHC and OC were virtually indistinguishable, although some other threads have indicated that at some point in the not-too-distant future OHC will be reformulated to be more aggressive. Could be some of your dusting was little bits of foam from the pad; I`ve had that happen.

How old/new was the pad? Was the pad used with any other product before?

brand new orange pad.
What you were experiencing was pad dusting, almost all new pads dust upon first use.
