My g/f's family was visiting from Buffalo. Buffalo has been snow covered for a while now and the car was already nasty but the road trip down made sure every last inch was white. I sprayed it down at a DIY car wash the day before to knock off the heavy salt and sand deposits.
Process
DIY wash Saturday
Sunday:
ONR
OPS via white LC pad 1100-1400 misted the residue with OCW and buffed off by hand.
Tires protected with Megs Hot Shine
I last detailed this car in April so the goal was to clean up some of the washing/drying haze from her mom. I also had not used my gallon of OPS yet and was itching to use it.
It does melt into the paint as others have said. I found it did a decent amount of defect removal with the rotary. It removed most of the light marring. It left the paint feeling very slick and it felt even slicker using OCW to remove OPS. It is very easy to remove by itself or with OCW. I will be using it much more for 1 steps.
On to the pictures.

The paint looks super deep and wet in the after shots. Nice shot of the correction you made in the paint too.
