Which AIO do you guys use in one step details?

Well, Poli Seal and XMT 360 seem to be the most popular by far. Going to have to try them out!

CG Blacklight does have fine abrasives in it. It blows away poliseal in both gloss and long term protection and it's the easiest to use AOI I've used. Blackfire remains the only question mark for me and I will order some as soon as its offered. I have Used GPS and xmt product as well as D151. Blacklight gets my vote hands down if used correctly by applying it as you would any correction product. Apply it like an LSP and you won't get any correction. CG doesn't market it as an AIO but nobody really knows what many of their products really do as their marketing is like a twilight zone spot. Blacklight is indeed an AIO.

I think we need to separate one steps and AIO's. To me a one step, is doing one step of correction, which is totally different than using an AIO which by definition is a compromise of cutting and durability.

I personally only use AIO's when I want to give a wash and wax customer a little more for their money, and I always top with another wax or sealant. My AIO of choice has always been Opt Poliseal, it gives some correction, amazing gloss, and decent protection that can be topped immediately with most LSP products.

I have used D151 and didn't care for it at all. Also I do like blacklight, but it's a stretch calling it an AIO. It really doesn't have any corrective abilities, more just cleaning and filling abilities IMO. If I want a really strong cleaner I reach for Werstat Prime Strong. That stuff pulls out dirt from paint that you would never guess was even there!

If we are talking a true one step job however, my favorite combo at the moment is Menzerna Powerfinish (old formula) on yellow buff and shine pads. It gives awesome correction and will finish out next to perfect on all but the softest paints.

Personally, I still love Klasse AIO. I do like Poli-Seal, however, I just find myself always reaching for KAIO when needing that product. Mind ya, when conditioning OC, I do always grab PS.

I have been wanting to try GPS now.

Poorboys polish with sealant (most times)

XMT 360 (if looking for more correction)

Klasse AIO (if looking for just cleaning and / or a base for something else - in which case I guess its not really be used as an AIO)

Intriguing and informative posts. Thank you.rops:

Great posts, I'm going to give the PoliSeal a shot.

I will be able to do more "daily driver" cars, build up my client base, and hopefully draw in more "show cars"

Based on your experience, how do you think this would turn out on a Jet Black BMW?

I use Klasse for the family vehicles (1 truck and 2 cars). For my wife's car I use Klasse AIO after a wash and clay and it looks great - my wife thinks it look better than when she bought it (and she's probably right, ha ha).

For my Charger I use Klasse AIO, Poorboys Blackhole Glaze and top with Coll 845.

The truck is a beater and practice vehicle for me, so it gets whatever is lying around.

FWIW - I don't like the Klasse glaze. I found it hard to apply and remove. The Poorboys glaze rocks though. Just my .02 cents as an amateur/hobbyist.
