Thanks, I actually figured out AIO on my own.

I just bought a 2008 CRV myself, that is why I am here. I had the 97 model prior and it was a great truck. I had 330,006 miles on it and I am sure it could go another 100,000! Anyway, you will love it. I got to say, that interior looks pretty bad. For the leather, I would start with Lexol...

I am thinking about getting the 3D HD Speed polish with 6 Green BS Pads for a first time detail. My question is what do you finish with? I know it is an AIO, would you still finish with a coat of wax/sealant or just let it ride? If so, what wax or sealant works well with the 3D HD Speed? Thanks,

What is C845 and what does AIO stand for? So far 3D HD is at the top of the list as it has been mentioned 3 times. I love the idea of one product doing it all. Can I, should I still put a sealant over the finished product?

Thanks Priyaka, great help. No doubt there is some great info here, just a matter of finding it.

I did notice your comment and I appreciate it. The Ultimate compound tends to get good ratings but Ultimate Swirl and Ultimate Polish do not. Maybe the reason for the ratings is due to those working by hand?

How many of the LC pads would I need for a CRV? How do you know when it is time to stick a new one on?

Really appreciate it Setec. I really appreciate the link too, its been very helpful. I knew arterial was wrong, just went with what spellcheck offered. I am pretty sure "arterial" pertains to the vascular system and super highways. Played that off well, I think? I have not noticed any...

I agree, great information and I really appreciate it. However, let me re-word it, what would you do? What products would you use on a swirled black 2008 Honda CRV? When I go to buy the products, I don't want to be short something that I need or buy something that I don't need. What I was...

Figuring out which DA Polisher to get was pretty easy. In fact, I ordered the Porter Cable after just a couple hours of research. Trying to figure out which products to buy to do the job has been a nightmare. I am as confused today as I was a week ago. I have read countless threads and they...

I appreciate the replies. Here is what I have got so far. 1. After initial washing, apply some sort of coating, sealant or LSP. 2. Add mud, dirt and grime. 3. Spray down well with pressure washer. 4. Wash with two bucket system. 5. Re-apply sealant, LSP type coating. Easy enough. I...

Thanks Puckman. I take it that LSP, coating and sealant are all the same thing?

Thank You Pilot, is the sealant you speak of the same as the coating fly spoke of?

Thank You Fly, can you give me an example of a coating, a specific brand name?

This spring I plan on polishing my CRV. I would like to keep it swirl free as long as I can. I do a lot of off road driving visiting our natural world, It will get very dirty. What are the proper techniques for washing a muddy truck to keep the swirl marks to a minimum? I am sure this has...
