Need Your Opinion on an AIO or 1-Step

So what's a good 1 step? I'll ask here isntead of making a new thread. Got a new (to me) '15 X5, which is in good shape. Just want to correct paint then use my ceramic coating after.

I might have some McGee's Fast polish left which will probably do the trick, but I don't know if it's enough so maybe I'll try a reccomended 1-step from here.

I've used (and continue to use) McKees 360, Meguiars D166, and HD Speed. Speed wins for gloss and slickness, 360 for cutting ability and longevity, and D166 falls right in the middle of them in those categories.

I did not know 360 had more cut, I was under the impression D166 was the one with the most cut. Thank you for sharing, I will have to add this product to my arsenal for those harder to correct paints.
 
Also consider CarPro Essence for an AOI. It get left out of the conversation often. It is.basically CarPro Reflect and a SiO2 component. It doesn’t have much cut (like most AOIs) but it does have some filling capabilities. Use it with a Meguires microfiber cutting pad and you get more correction and the heat generated is supposed to cure the SiO2 component faster. Then you could use an SiO2 spray for maintenance and protection.

Essence followed by IGL Premier (high cost) will give you almost 6 months of outdoor protection.

I second 11B250 question, what would be a good polish for a one step? McKee’s fast polish? Griots perfecting cream? OPT hyper polish?

Menzerna 2500 is my favorite one step polish. Good cut and finishes really well on most paints. I usually pair it up with a tangerine LC Hydro-tech pad with excellent results.

I strongly second this.
