I decided to give OCW a try, but I already have EX-P/#16 on my truck for the winter.
Can I apply OCW over this periodically to extend me through the winter, or does OCW need a clean surface for bonding?

I`ve never had a problem with it over anything I`ve tried it over.

Same here, both over sealants and carnaubas.

I`ve got OCW over 1/2 of my daily driver on top of Natty`s. It seems to be doing a good job. My unscientific results so far - can`t tell a difference between the 2 sides of the car.

I use OCW as a booster wax to my natty`s blue, #16, and Souveran combos. works great!

I have used it both sealants and waxes here without any problems. I have also used it before waxes and then topped it.
No problems using it either way here. Its currently my go to product after a wash now winter is here.
Only on Sunday I applied a coat after washing to my paint which already had #16 on it.

Thanks for the responses.
It sounds like OCW can be used under or over other products. I`ll give it a try over my EX-P/#16 after a wash this weekend.

I would let that EX-P cure a while before applying anything over it.

EX-P/#16 was applied ~ 6 weeks ago. I was just looking to apply OCW after a regular wash in order to extend the protection through the winter. I would usually use PB QD+ or something similar, but I wanted to give OCW a try since it sounds like it has better durability.
From all the responses here, it sounds like OCW will work well for this.

So, the OCW side doesn`t look better? Are you saying there was no point to applying the OCW? (Haven`t tested it myself, so I have no reference point.)

No, I`m not saying that... so far in my mind, I`m liking OCW due to ease of application. They both seem to be doing a great job in terms of looks and durability. Like I said, not a scientific test at all.

Has anybody else here had streaking with OCW? In the past, I`ve used it as a topper over 4* UPP and KSG. 90% of the time, the outcome is great. But, every once in a while, I get some streaks that won`t buff out. On the trunk of my car, I wound up using AIO to strip everything off after I got some streaks with OCW. For that reason, I haven`t been using it very often lately.
