Dark Colors = OCW

Light Colors = AW



Use a white pad to apply with the PC and it will burnish and jewel the paint.

I would not use a PC to apply AW since it has no real lube properties....has no cleaner also....

Hey Al,



I've actually used both OCW and AW with the PC white pad combo



I spray a spritz on the pad and then one sweeping spray on each panel. I'll start of the PC on speed 3 to spread and kick up to 5.. no pressure added.



I have seen no marring.. :confused: it really does jewel the paint. I have recomended this to another user and he had great results, his review is below

How can a product like OCW or AW jewel the paint when they have no abrasive properties...its the cut of the polishing pad doing it...not the product..jeweling means refining the finish with a lite abrasive product to bring the finish to its best..so in reality the pad is doing the polishing not the product....the products used my be filling in any micro mariing...I know AW will after a coat or two...and OCW will with its wax content...



A white pad does have cut to it..its a polishing pad...if it works for you fine...but I personally would not run a abrasive pad on paint with products like that on paint since they have no real lube properties



but if it works for you..thats fine....

That's too easy Patrick! I'd pick the OCW only because I can't pick that up over the counter, plus it's more expensive than AW!



I'm not familiar with OCW, so I'm not going to cast my vote, but AW is a great product considering how easy it is to use and how cheap it is. I don't have the kind of time that I really want to properly detail and protect the cars I work on, so AquaWax is my go-to product when I need quick and easy protection.
 
it depends on what you want. do you want a wax then go with the OCW. if you want a sealant then AW. just remember AW is NOT a QD'er it is a sealant. to many layers and you finish will start to look cloudy.

OCW still. I have both it and AW, plus the new version of OCW that is even better than the original.

When did this come out Scott?



I use both. I actually alternate both over my finish.
