So I was thinking, if I do my normal polish etc and then throw on a sealant. Say in another 3-6 months I'll recoat. Then if I dont need a polish again ( so I could save a step/a few hours ) Couldn't I just use an AIO that will clean the paint, maybe remove some light marring and then throw down a coat of sealant/wax? Basically two birds one stone and get protection. Then I could follow up a month or two later with another sealant coat. But by then I should be back time for my polishing again...

What would work well with a dark blue truck?
 
I scored a bottle of poorboy's polish with sealant super cheap (<$10) and tried it out for the first time today. I used it for exactly what you are describing, a quick cleanup of any towel marks and/or marring since the last time I did a full correction. Gotta say, it worked great and it's one of the most user friendly products I've ever used. Doesn't stain trim and I used it in full sun on hot paint and it was a breeze to apply and even easier to remove no matter how long I left it on there. Seriously just about the most idiot proof product I've used. It left a nice crisp shine as well. I can definitely see myself using it every month two for this purpose. Just don't expect it to correct a ton if you have some deeper scratches and swirls.

What's the protection durability you've come across?
 
I didn't get but a few weeks of durability out of the PB product mentioned.
 
I just used it today so I can't comment on durability. If it doesn't last very long I'd still be happy with it. Even without the sealant its still a super easy to use mild polish/cleaner. Going forward I plan to use some D156 after every wash or two to keep the car protected. PWS and D156 is just about the easiest car care regimen I can think of.
 
I don't wash my dd's every week or every other week or even every month so durability of a product is of parmaount importance to me. I also don't want to have to reapply it once a month or every other month to get that durability. I need a product for my dd's that will last 5-6 months with one application.
 
Yeah same here. I'd want something that at least gives me 2-3 months if possible...
 
I wanted an all in one that correct, cleans and adds some protection. That PNS is an lsp
 
Then HD SPEED and POXY as I posted earlier. Good for 5-6 months.

HD Speed topped with HD Poxy, makes red pop!

If you're really interested in durability give FK1000 a try. I know it's just an LSP but put on a coat or two after polishing and you should be good to go. I put a coat on in late October and it's still beading like crazy today. Look is subjective--it reminds me of a new coat of clear.
 
many good aio's out there, here's another to consider...

How is PNS holding up for you?? I've been thinking of giving it a try since you can apply it to the black smooth and pebble trim which could cut some time out of LSP application.

Great question.

And I just happen to have the aswner for you. I washed all three of our white rides today. They were wayyyyy over due.

So prior to washing their was no visible beading. I for one am not the one who thinks once a product isn't exhibiting beading that it's done. If their is dirt between the product then their won't be any beading but the product is still there and doing it's job, which is protecting my paint.

So I found a 1 oz sample of Sonax Gloss Shampoo Concentrate and thought, what the heck, I'll give this a try. I have never used this before. Talk about a hidden gem!

SONAX Gloss Shampoo Concentrate, concentrated auto shampoo, car shampoo, car wash, Sonax auto wash


Now here's the punchline: Can you say beads!!!

So the PNS was doing it's job, it just wasn't apparent becasue the car hadn't been washed in about 2 months. I'd say that is a real world test and a testament to the durbaility of PNS and the quality of their Sampoo. I will be buying some of this in the near future.

The other amazing plus is that all three vehicles had a very nice shine after being washed with it and none were treated to any type of touch up product after the wash. They all looked amazing.



Reapplied WG Trim Sealant to my Rogue's trim, this stuff is the real deal!

Meguiars Mirror Glaze #66 Quick Detailer Gallon: A one-step cleaner wax for high production reconditioning with a dual action or rotary polisher!

I like M66 too.

If the paint isn't too beat up, Duragloss 101, or 501 would also work, and have excellent durability. You can go ahead and apply whatever like on top.
