Introduction:
When it comes to vehicle detailing we all know that the AIO is the cornerstone of the detailing industry. This is where the majority of our work takes place and it is imperative to have quality products that fit the bill. Your AIO of choice needs to return great performance. After all you are relying on the product working for you and not against you.

Product Description:

Work out of direct sunlight. Apply a circle of Total Polish & Seal onto a foam polishing/finishing pad. With the polisher turned off, spread the product over a 2 sq. ft. area of paint. Set the speed to 5 and work the product over the area. Continue to polish until product disappears. It does not require buffing.

Great work, Mike. The 50/50 shots really show how dead the paint was:

DSC_0088_zpsgg8aiynj.jpg


Is there a baseball size dent in the corrected half of the hood? Or is that just a reflection?
 
Nice review, use it all the time very pleased with it......:dblthumb2:
 
Mike,

How would you compare this to Menzerna 3n1 ???
 
So you work it into the paint until it disappears and don't wipe it off?
 
Those are a great combo...adding crystal seal only adds another 10 minutes.
 
Good review Mike...
Thanks for sharing.

Looks like BF's TP&S is a very good
light-cleaning AIO product. :xyxthumbs:

Another great review Michael, it's very informative and even though it's a specific product review, watching you always helps us to see further and learn many things detailing related, worth your effort to post the video.

Results shown are hands down standard to the high production detailing we are after, and as a bonus it's almost 'wipeless' ;)

I'd sure would love to have some of this in my shelf. I now see a Blackfire Banner in my next order altogether, I'll try to arrange things and see how much $ I need to get the goodies!

Thanks a lot for sharing,

Kind Regards.
 
Excellent review Mike!

Thanks Frank!

great review and thanks for video!

Thank you. No problem.

Thanks Ian. The paint really was Kaput.

There sure is a nice dent in it.

Nice review, use it all the time very pleased with it......:dblthumb2:

Thank you sir. Pleased with it as well.

Mike,

How would you compare this to Menzerna 3n1 ???

Before I make a comment, how about a comparison thread? What do you say?

So you work it into the paint until it disappears and don't wipe it off?

It says in the directions that you buff until the product disappears but I did not experience that.

Those are a great combo...adding crystal seal only adds another 10 minutes.

Thanks Fox. Sure is.

Does not take any time to add Crystal Seal.

Good review Mike...

Thank you Bob. No problem.

It surely is. I was really impressed with it.

Thanks Raphael. I always enjoy your comments. Comments like this makes it worth while.

Im not so sure about me furthering anyones detailing prowess. I enjoy putting these reviews together.

Grab some on your next order. You will not be disappointed.
 
Nice review.

Mike, it looks like you used the Flex with a hybrid white polishing pad. The correction would depend on pad selection.

It says in the directions that you buff until the product disappears but I did not experience that.

It did not disappear for me either. I just worked it for a few passes. I saw review by Todd Helme and he mentioned working it until it is a light film.

That's right.

I couldn't get it to disappear either. Worked it until a light film was left and removed.
