Those 'oily' look is waht we would call streaking or clouding. Could be a couple of possibilities:
1. You're using too much. Can try diluting the product with some distilled water.
2. You're leaving the product on the surface for too long. It's suppose to be a wipe on wipe off product - spray then immediately wipe off.
3. The surface is dirty - interfering with the bonding/curing of the spray wax or even mixing with it while you're wiping.
You'd need to practice a lot to get to finish hologram free with a rotary....especially on soft paint. Doing a two steps and jumping straight to a foam with a polish might be too far of a jump. You might need two or three passes with the foam and ohp to be able to remove marks left by the wool+ohc. Test your whole process from start to finish on a small section first before going for the whole car, so that you'd know what to expect.
You don't need to sand to remove light scratches. A right combination of compound/polish/pad could do the trick. But it all depends on how deep is the scratch and how soft (or hard) is the paintwork/clear coat.
Try with whatever you have first, then only evaluate whether you'd need softer pads or milder polish.

I saw your thread asking about how to clean MF cloth in zetotohundred which you posted 2 years ago. I wonder what method you are using now, can you share with me ? Thanks

I've already bought myself some Micro Restore.
Most effective way and for worst case - soak for a couple of hours then blast them with a pressure washer, rinse then spin dry in washer.
2nd method - also soak for a couple of hours then spray down with my garden hose at 'fan' setting, rinse then spin dry in washer.
If you're talking about my question on how to wash those cloth after using ONR, no hope. I've tried everything but the dirt are too stubborn. One of the few reasons that I avoid using ONR unless I really have to.

thanks for the reply. Would you mind telling me what micro-restore is available in our Malaysia market ? Brand ?

and one more thing. How to clean brake dust effectively ? I've tried OPC 1:7, no hopes. Then 1:3 , agitate 5 minutes, I can see some brake dust dissolve, but they are still there rclxub.gif ! The brown stains ! I've tried to seek answer in autogeek, like TrixX, Tarminator, P21S and blah blah. Unfortunately our Msia car detailing market is very small, I only can find Meg WB, Sonax full effect. Which product that you come across that do best at cleaning brake dust ?
