Single stage white questions

[02whitetundra]

Like my username, I have a 2002 Toyota Tundra with single stage white paint. I'm having problems keeping the paint "clean". After using KAIO as a paint cleaner, the paint looks great..... for about one week.

My process is usually applying KAIO by D.A. then either using FK1000P or UPGP for the LSP. Later during the week and after an ONR wash, I can clearly see that the single stage paint is basically soaking in all the dirt and in order to remove it, I have to use a paint cleaner such as KAIO. I would assume that using the above LSP's would give the paint a layer of protection. Not so in this case.

For those who have experience with single stage white, what are some good recommendations to keep the paint cleaner for longer than a week??

I've used Prima Hydro Seal on our white Toy daily driver, after having prepared the surface well, & it lasted 6 months. Maybe the KAIO is the culprit?

After your KAIO try the KSG....also, if your looking for new products, DG some some amazing stuff on white ss paint.

The problem is that kaio is only chemically cleaning the paint and actually removing the oxidation which needs to be compounded to be removed completely/properly. What is most likely happening is the sealant let on the paint from mail is preventing the topper sealant from bonding properly. Also, without the oxidation being removed you are leaving the paint very porous and oxidation that will continue to oxidize.
So you need to get something like Meg's Ultimate Compound and remove the oxidized paint, then you will get the most out of any sealant you apply. If you want to follow compounding/polishing with kaio then you should follow it with Klasse hgsg to get 6-12 months of protection.

I agree with above. The AIO might not be enough to remove the oxidation. UC will do the trick, and the key to making it last, is in the sealant. IPA Wipe & Choose something with ultra strong UV blockers as an lsp, and apply every 3-4 mos.
