How would you guys compare OCW, DG Aqua Wax and Griots Garage Spray on Wax in the following categories?

1 How do you use it? ie drying aid, lsp booster, stand alone wax
2 shine
3 durability
4 ease of use
 
I have (and continue to use) OCW and AW. I'm not much for a Griot's user so I can't comment on their product.

OCW - I use it as both a stand alone LSP on quick details, or a booster after a rinseless wash on my own car or for a follow-up detail for a client. I would say that OCW definitely has the edge in terms of shine and durability. 1.5-2 months durability is what I've seen.

AW - I use it as a drying aid mostly, and occasionally as a booster for my own car (it's cheaper!). After about a month AW shows no indication of beading.

Both sprays are incredibly easy to use, light mist, work in the product, and buff off the residue. Easy on, easy off. OCW might need to be applied a bit thinner, as I would describe it as being a tad bit 'oilier'.
 
Completely agree with Connor. Used both OCW and DAW as drying aids and standalones. Some of the wetter v. candy look difference, too. OCW definitely wetter-looking. DAW is maybe a hair easier as it flashes a bit quicker. I def prefer OCW, though.

Haven't used the Griot's.
 
I haven't used OCW but I've used DGAW and Griots.

Between Griots and AW I think AW looks better and adds more protection. I notice MUCH more beading from AW than Griots. I really consider GG spray on wax as a drying aid more than a "wax". I don't notice any significant change in appearance with GG spray on wax either.
 
I like OCW and AW as well...

OCW - I use it mostly as a stand alone / top up product. I have seen 2-3 months during the summer, but it is so easy to use that I really only wait a month between top ups.

AW - I use AW mostly as a drying aid / top up. I like the shiny slick feel it leaves and how easy it is to use. Durability for this product is not important to me as I would gladly use it after every wash.
 
I use OCW quite often as an lsp, haven't tried it as a drying aid.

I've never tried AW, but I have played around with GG a little and so far I would agree with what Rocket said about it. Works well as a drying aid though.

Ditto on everything you said. I also have a sample of AW and haven't used it yet. I also find the GG is good for a drying aid but not much more.
