So yesterday I was washing my girlfriend's car. It's a new car, and its seen no other "waxes" but OCW. I waxed it maybe 40 days or so for the first time with OCW.
I thought it was odd at the time that the OCW didn't offer the least bit of streaking. I've used this product before, but its always been finicky for me. I've decided to use it on this car exclusively, due to how quickly it can be applied and the protection it applies.
So, yesterday I applied it again after a 2BM wash. It was outside and fairly hot sunny. This should have be death blow for streaks and haze, but there was none. Its a dark car, so I would have seen it. The paint seemed to drink up the wax like a QD.
I've came to the conclusion, that the "issues" sometimes associated with OCW must be because there are other waxes/sealants below it. The product seemed to work so much better on this car, which has no other LSPs on it.
I think a lot of us (me included) try to use OCW as a "booster" wax, and that's where we run into trouble, because the product is not intended for that. It seems to work perfectly on clean paint, or paint that has had previous applications of OCW.
Incidentally, the OCW was about 1.5 months old or so. Maybe a little less. It was still offering protection, but it had dropped off some.
