First, sorry for the long-winded post.....
I am in the process of putting together a product list for winter prep/detail on higher-end vehicles (ex. BMW, Benz, Audi). I would like to get a deeper gloss on the darker cars from what I have in the past.
I plan on doing an AIO after wash and clay for my clients that do not want or need a 2 or 3 step process prior to application of the LSP.
I have been researching the heck out of AIOs and sprayable LSP on the forum and re-evaluating products I have used in the past. Also, I have set some parameters the product must fall within: Must be able to buy in bulk (gallon size), easy to work with (ex. mid/mild cut slight correction, easy clean-up, won’t stain trim, etc.), DURABILITY, provides a nice finish using a LC white/gray pad, and finally, cost.
Three past AIO products and LSP combos I have used:
1. Klasse AIO and Collonite 845: (found Klasse to be finicky to use and clean, decent finish, semi-durable - but 845 makes it bomber (durable), slick and has some depth, inexpensive) con: time consuming
2. M151 and Megs Ult. Liquid Wax: (semi-easy to apply and clean, good amount of cut, 151 not super durable, but ULW helps, inexpensive, slick finish not deep) con: durability
3. Duragloss 105 and Aquawax: (easy to apply and clean, good cleaning ability and slight finish improvement, very durable, super-slickness but not deep, inexpensive) con: lack of depth
My current research has me looking into the following combination:
Optimum Poly Seal topped with OCW: I can get it in bulk, and it won’t totally break the bank but what about ease of use, durability, finish quality (look)? My research has revealed that the durability is 5 months +/- and the finish quality is darn good. It should also be a fairly quick process with the OCW as LSP.
Basically, I am looking for a thumbs up or down. Have I already used a great combination and failed to realize it or is there something to be discovered?
Thanks,
Sparty
