Does OCW dry clear or white?

I have a dark green 1998 Accord. It's been a daily driver the whole time on I80 in NJ. As you can imagine, it's got some significant paint chips in the hood. However, it also has tons of previously unoticeable chips in the clear coat.

I have currently have 2 coats of NXT liquid on it. It dried clear so there was no issue. I applied 2 coats of OCW after each wash in the last few weeks. I've noticed that there is a slew of white specs all over the hood. I have to conclude that it's the OCW dried up in each minor scratch.

Should I use a QD (ONR mixed as a QD) and rewipe the panel?

Has anyone else had an issue with this?

If this continues to be an issue, I may have to go back to using NXT spray wax after washes.
