So I got around finally to using the AIO last night. Test subject was a daily driven, not terribly well maintained black metallic 2015 Passat. Disclaimer, per usual I suck at taking the time to take pictures while I work.
I started out with HD Speed but decided to give the Jescar AIO a shot. I was really surprised by how well the paint on this vw responded to it.
Jescar’s AIO to me seemed to have a bit more cut than speed on rupes yellow and griots boss orange pads. I worked the rupes mini with yellows on speed 4, and the g15 with boss orange pads on 3.5-4. Speed definitely appears to have a longer working cycle and still is the easiest to wipe off. I found Jescar AIO slightly more difficult to wipe off but not terribly so, and a bit easier to work with than m37 360.
When I finished the car it looked great, and I was happy with what the Jescar AIO was able to do. Then as I headed out this morning (I detailed the car while on shift at the FD I volunteer at) I got to see the car after taking my eyes away from it for a while.
Holy. Crap.
Now, maybe it was the lighting, or lack thereof, and maybe my mind was playing tricks on me. But, as much as I love HD speed, it has never provided the level of gloss I saw on this car. Now again, it’s an AIO so if you’re up close and personal you’d see the flaws like any other swirl tunnel car. But from even 6 feet away the gloss and ‘pop’ honestly rivaled what you’d normally expect from a ceramic coating.
Maybe this means there are lots of fillers and glossing agents, we will have to see on the durability. But man. After seeing those results it’d be difficult for me to not keep the Jescar AIO in the Arsenal. I don’t know if it’ll completely kick Speed out the way speed kicked 360 out, but I have to say as low as my expectations were due to mwoywoods description, someone who’s experience and opinion I value highly. I was pleased to have a very, very different experience and look forward to using it again.
To note, this was done inside a garage, so I have not tested it outside yet. Based on its behavior in a hot, humid garage, I think it’d be alright on an outdoor job so long as it was overcast or in a shady spot. I don’t think it’d do as well as speed in direct sunlight.
