Used OCW for the first time yesterday and mightily impressed. Adds slickness like few others (maybe UPP) and entire car waxed in less than 10 minutes. Did a second layer immediately (heck, why not?!) and is almost darkened the paint, giving a real glow.
I`ll post some pics this evening but I am very happy with this stuff :xyxthumbs

Just got myself a bottle of OCW delivered last week, but haven`t had a chance to try it yet.
What did you use beneath it? I`m probably gonna give my paintwork the once-over with AIO then treat it to OCW.

Craig - I`d previously used Carlack & then a couple of coats of Signature so perhaps not ideal for applying OCW but it worked really well. You get a carnuaba like gloss/wetness but with the glow that UPP does for silver.
I think the Astra`s done pretty well TBH - clayed back in January, PB Pro by hand then and about a month ago I VMW HG`d it but she`s not been machine polished in over 20,000 miles and there`s a few swirls here & there.
Don;t you just lurve silver cars?!

OCW? Optimum car wax (spray)? Sounds good, says it has carnuba and sealant in it too, not anything bad about it yet, must get some as it sounds good for a quick shine.

It`s better than that IMHO - if the blurb on the bottle`s to be believed, it gives "up to 5 months" protection and the slickness is easily on a par with UPP or SG

Did you just spray on & wipe over with an MF as directed?

Yup - too easy really. Used an Excel Detail MF (nice and soft) - sprayed OCW onto the panel sparingly and then buffed with MF. Towel was slightly damp when I finished the first coat, slightly damper after second so I followed up with a second towel and cleared up the minute amount of steaking.
Really nice, easy product - so much so that neighbours asked what I was doing using a spray type wax like they do, as they`re used to seeing me either PC/rotary in hand or with a tub of paste wax.
I`d offer a sample but the bottle`s sealed and I don`t want to risk breaking it. Certainly going to find out if it comes in bigger sizes as this will be my go to quick wax for customers.
