I received this product at no charge from Meghan, and in return, I agreed to provide a review on the forum. I will try to keep this as objective as I can.

Britemax AIO Max is an easy-to-use all in one product that corrects mild paint imperfections and adds a durable layer of protection to your vehicle. This highly-effective formula can be used as a standalone product, or as a second step on previously polished paint. Britemax AIO Max restores the beauty and shine that was hidden by light swirls and oxidation, and all in one easy step!
I realize that the $1k+ correction and coating jobs get a lot of attention, and rightfully so; who doesn't like 4 figures. But I still think the traditional AIO work is the bread and butter of detailing. They typically result in a huge turn-around, the non-geek is thrilled with the result, there is a great profit margin on them and a single guy can crank out at least 2, if not 3 in a day. I'll admit it is hard work and having a good polisher (or several) and an even better AIO is key to getting these jobs done efficiently. My go-to products have been D151 and HD Speed and you'd be hard pressed to find someone that doesn't put one of these two at or near the top of their list. Enter Britemax AIO max. As stated above, it will remove light swirls, which is a key factor for AIOs that I plan to use. It has a green apple fragrance that is awesome. It's somewhat runny compared to HD speed, so there is some potential to splatter, but in my experience that's also an indicator of a product that will be easy to wipe off, and this was very easy to wipe off.
After using the PB super slick & foam on the GTI, we used a clay mitt and then taped things up partially in preparation for the AIO. I've done this car many times in the past and I'm well aware the paint is hard as nails. I chose to use the rupes UHS pads on a Boss 21. The UHS pads are very stiff, so I apply several sprays of water to the surface to soften the foam, I then use a towel to remove the majority of the water before starting. For whatever reason, HD speed does not like any water and becomes very hard to remove for me, not so with Britemax. I did one pass to spread the AIO, then 4 passes at speed 5 with medium pressure and arm speed and then a final pass at speed 3 with slow arm speed and no pressure. The polish wiped off with no effort.

I also used Britemax AIO on the gloss b-pillars with the nano and a rupes yellow pad. 1 pass to spread at 2 and 4 passes at speed 4. It obviously wasn't 100% and I didnt' expect it to be, but it was a respectable improvement for an AIO.

Finally, I used the Nano with blue pads on the mirror caps

Proof positive I used a rupes blue pad
So how well does Britewax AIO splatter wipe off trim? Super easy; you can see a couple streaks here after one wipe, after a final cleaning in prep for protectant, there was no discernible residue.
