Do you just spray this wax on the car, wipe with a MF towel turn over and buff off?

I absolutely love shooting it through my Wagner Control Spray. The mist is very fine and even. I can do a whole car in about 5-6 minutes. WCS in one hand and plush MF in the other. I shoot a whole panel instead of just a small section and it works great.

Where can I pick up a Wagner Sprayer? Do you have a link? Could I use the spray wax as a stand alone LSP or it more for using as a maintence type wax?

Lowe's has 'em for $69 with 2 tanks. I bought one off eBay for $39 and used a eBay store called "Empowered Equipment" to buy 4 more tanks. I use them for tire dressing, OID, OCW, and Powerclean. It's great not to have to squeeze a trigger and the mist is very even unlike other sprayers. The tanks stay sealed so you can store the products in them and they quick disconnect from the turbine. Here's a pic:

BTW: you can use it any way you want. Layer it, put it on every week, once a month...you can even use it after ONRing a panel but prior to the towel off. It's very versatile.

Nice deal, will make coating tires, wheel wells and such a lot easier.
So I can use the wax as a Wax as you dry type product similar to duragloss AW?

ONR doesn't leave the panel that wet, so yes. And if you are doing a conventional wash, just blow dry off the majority first then use it as you go over whats left with a MF. It's a HUGE timesaver. Remember to only use about 1 spray per panel and turn your towel to a dry side every couple panels or you may get a little spotting.

The wax truely is GREAT. I used it just as you said, sprayed the panel as it was still damp with ONR, fast, easy and amazing results. I have done my 2 cars this way, stepdads car and sisters car. My 14 yr old white dd looks great 1 week later, 1 full day of rain and 400 miles. I usually get water spots on the car behind the tires from the wash bay at work having water all over the parkin lot. It wipes off easily with a QD, but honestly with the OCW there has been no water left on the fender area. I will be buying a gallon next pay check. Next to to test the OPP I have

I mixed a third OID with the spray wax as suggested by Anthony and I rather like the results. Goes on nice and come off well. The feel is good too.
