My goal is to maintain the detailing on two Corvettes.One is a beater, daily driver.The other is more of a show car that I seldom drive.Both have very minor micro scratches,no swirls at this time.So I was looking for something not too complicated towards the -All in One-.I was leaning towards the Optimum products.But,I find their products sorta confusing.I love their no rinse and tire products.Guess with the" All in One" I'm looking for the easy way out?I will be using a Porter Cable 7424XP...
Thanks Much

If you like Optimum Products check out the OPT Poliseal, it is a highly underrated product (AIO). It really does work awesome.

After washing you can always apply a quick coat of the OPT Car Wax which is one of the easiest products to apply.

I do believe we try to over complicate things sometimes.

Optimum Poli-Seal, Polymer sealant, polish sealant

Optimum Car Wax is a spray wax made with real carnauba and synthetic paint sealants for protection & shine! high-grade carnauba wax and silicone
 
+1 on XMT360. Absolutely love the product's ability to produce an amazing shine, remove minor imperfections, high working time and leaves behind a nice coat of protection that seems to be quite durable.

Nick hinted recently in a different thread about a "new and improved" XMT 360 - the current version is a forum favorite.

I can't get into too much detail, but there will be a lot of exciting changes for 2016. Some of those changes include XMT 360, so we are not able to offer it on BOGO for this sale.

carpro essence,wasn't a believer in this product at first,there's a little learning curve with this product.over Time as a fulltime detailer I've seen many products come and go.Essence would be a perfect fit for the condition of your cars.Leaves the paint silky smooth with high gloss.It has protection and performs like a coating,plus a one step that won't break down quickly.It says it's a filler type product,I've done 8 cars with it and I don't find it to be a filler.If your looking for a average bite for minimal swirl removal this would be the product of choice I personally prefer over the other brands,because of its simplicity and high performance of gloss and 1 step.The only down side to this product is applying by hand as a lsp if you prefer.It doesn't spread evenly and when too much is applied to one area you have to level it out like a coating or it will be a pita to remove and it doesn't work well with water if you have some stuck in the moldings etc.If you can get passed that this is a great product.
 
HD Speed, no doubt.

I would hold off on XMT 360 for a little while. Sounds like there's going to be something happening with that product in the near future.

So I was looking for something not too
complicated towards the -All in One-

With the vehicles having the above
described "paint blemishes"...I'll suggest
the following easy to use Meguiar's AIOs:
-ColorX
-M66 Quick Detailer
-M20 Polymer Sealant
-A12 Cleaner/Wax

I agree with this question.

I would also add that the two cars probably deserve different approaches. If one is a daily driver, it is subject to that abuse, so an all in one makes sense.

The other show car probably deserves a little more attention to getting the paint as perfect as possible, which is where an AIO would not be the best choice. That car should probably be at minimum polished and then protected.

A show car should have a show car shine and be Competition Ready! Sorry, couldnt resist.
 
+1 for HD Speed, so easy to use! And for extra protection you can top it with POXY, but I've found it lasts 3-4 months as is.

Trying to remove micro scratches ,maintain nice finish,production detail more than show detail.The car I've been the most careful with has the most scratches?I'm looking for the most shine for the least amount of time.So I thought the" All in one" might work.:xyxthumbs:
