Nope.

No need to with APO 60. It lasts on average 8-10 weeks and feels and looks just any other LSP.

Why top an All in One if it's an All in One?

Re: Detailed: 2007 Infiniti FX35

Justin, excellent job as always. Is Menzerna's APO 60 akin to Poorboy's World PwS and XMT 360? As in it leaves a sealant behind? Does it apply in a similar fashion?

APO60 is an abrasive all in one and contains carnauba as it's main protectant. 306 is very similar to APO60 but has no where the cut and correcting power.

PwS is a chemical polish with a water based sealant.

To date, APO60 is the best all in one that I've used. There's been a lot too. It can correct a lot. I'd say about 75% of what 106ff can while leaving behind protection. It gives me and my customers what they want and saves us both time.

To get added gloss and protection.

Re: Detailed: 2007 Infiniti FX35

I NEVER leave a aio alone I always top it, and I did not get that type of durability from Poliseal.

even if it still is protecting it probly looses the look in a shorter amount of time.

i guess I have tougher customers in Mass :-)

good job either way

They why even use Poli Seal?

Why not use a committed polish then LSP? You're going through the same steps but with a much weaker polish.

There is no gain in using an all in one that doesn't protect then an LSP to me.

Once again, why even use an all in one over a standard polish if you're going to comeback and re top it?

If the customer is willing to pay for it, there is no AIO that will ever out gloss a polish then wax system.

Many AIO's are made to bond together for better looks and durability; i.e Poli-Seal and Opti-Seal. So instead of polishing with Menzerna and topping that with Opti-Seal, you will get better durability and looks from using a product that is made to bond with Opti-Seal; i.e PoliSeal. So if I am going to use Opti-Seal as my LSP, but looking for correction, I would use something like Menzerna IP or Sip first and then go with Poli-Seal and then top that with Opti-Seal. You can also get good correction from Poli-Seal on soft paint.

Poli-Seal gets 2 months durability by itself. To my knowledge, OPS and OS were not designed as a system to work together specifically.
