What is the best technique for applying OCW by DA , i.e amount to apply to pad, speed of machine and how long to work it.

Also what would be the best pad; I have a Sonus red finishing pad and a Lake Country gold finishing pad.

there's no real benefit to applying by machine. Spritz the panel, spread evenly, flip towel over and buff to a shine. NO flash time, NO waiting...only use light pressure. If you need surface prep, use clay and/or Poliseal first for more slickness if needed.

The main benefit using a polisher to apply OCW is the burnishing effect it allows which may give the carnauba portion of OCW a boost in gloss.

The softer pads work well for this technique which is to spray the OCW on the paint and then begin the polishing action.

Hope that helps,

Thanks. I tried it today using my LC gold finishing pad and it did seem to add a bit extra gloss
