Best/favorite all in one?

[Paul A.]

I have 3 basic "favorites" for cleaner waxes, HD Speed, Duragloss 501 and now McKee's 37 360. I always do at least 3 test spots with these and determine what pad and product yields the best results ON THIS PAINT I'm working on today. Different paints and conditions react to usually one of those 3 the best.

With that said, my point is that there is probably the "best" cleaner wax for your paint and to your eyes. All of the recommended products or "favorites" mentioned in this thread are great products. the best approach is to try them all but that's extremely difficult to do...and obviously costly. If you can get a few samples or smaller sizes of the most frequently mentioned and then try them on YOUR paint you might find a shining star (pun intended).

I will try the new 3D AAT 505 product once it comes out.

Where are you located?

I've used Griot's Garage All in One Sealant with a Lake Country Orange or White Pad on 3 daily drivers with good results. For winter I top with Colonite 845 and get almost 6 months out of it. I'm located in PA and we get some harsh winters.

Over a winter I have had the GG AIO separate in the bottle. I just shook it very well before using and it seemed to work fine. I liked it enough that I bought a second bottle.

I probably wouldn't have tried it but it came with my GG6 DA. But I bought the Meguiar's DA MF system at the same time, so it sat for about 2 years till I gave it a try.

Am I the last guy still using poli-seal?

After last Saturday, I would have to go with Meguiar's D151/Paint Reconditioning Creme. It cut beautifully and left an awesome finish on a severely neglected truck.

When not using Colonite I top with Croftgate Quick & Slick. It leaves the surface very shiny and extremely slick. It's a spray and wipe that you apply sparingly and wipe immediately with a MF cloth with a spray on it. I've obtained even more shine by applying with a DA and a finishing pad. I got that tip from Steve Tapper.

WOW! That's quite a transformation Don! Nice work.

i can see the point of using an AIOne as intended as a one step without topping it. after i'm done wiping the AIOne down (that would be it), if i were to top it it wouldn't be until the next wash. everyone has their own way of doing things...

I completely agree with this.^
That's why I'm looking forward to seeing that black Mercedes tomorrow morning for what will be the 3rd maintenance wash since I polished it with D151 almost 3 weeks ago.

1st time I waterless washed it with WG Uber.
Last week I I bucket washed it with Carpro Reset and could already see D151's protection beginning to fade...
So tomorrow I'm likely going to give it a nice wipedown with Carpro Ech2o/Reload mixture after I wash & dry it. Perfect time for a boost/topper, as it should provide the jumpstart it needs at this point.

i'm going to be doing my final AIO head to head wash this weekend but 151 lasted well over 6 weeks with no issues and no toppers of any kind.

Any updates?

D166 has been out for a little bit now, not sure what everyone is liking?

Like most, I’m looking for something with ease of use makes everything look great but leaves some decent protection. My vehicles are well taken care of so I guess protection is more important than correction. But I was reading in another thread, d166 then maintaining with one of megs spray wax after every wash?

HD Speed is my go-to due to ease of use, cost per application, and quality of results. I finish each maintenance wash with a quick treatment of the ECH20 & Reload mix for continued protection.
