anyone have experience with both...i currently have poliseal, but i dont see how it can correct as its just too light and cant be worked in very long....

i just ordered up some xmt 360 as i am just looking for a product to maintain the finish i just corrected on my car and remove the minor swirls every other month or soo of washing....i do use all the correct products to avoid swirling, but i know they are going to happen reguardless over time....

is xmt 360 better at removing very light swirls then poliseal? protection wise i always top off with upp....

both products are quite nice, neither is a wrong choice in AIO's.

well, i guess i will just have both...i am hopping that xmt will have more of a correction quality then poliseal which i think has none, but i used i have found that if you use it after a polish with a black pad it cleans up nicely....i just wanted to use it with a white pad for more of a cleaning and correcting without being too harsh...

i will give the xmt a shot and see how it works to do my own comparison.....

I have and like both. PS is easier to remove. Both have decent chemical paint cleaners and both are pad dependent for cutting power. I have used PS with orange pads on a cyclo and gotten decent cutting and a great shine.

i agree with this statement.

poli-seal is pretty functional and flexible.

i've used it with orange, white and soft green pads, depending on what it is exactly that i'm trying to do, what color the car is and the softness of the clear.

on a side note, tom, you have a dumptruck?! haha, that's neat.

:whs: I also get a little cut with Poli-Seal. You want a little more mix 75/25; Poli-Seal/Optimum Polish.

poliseal and xmt 360 don not contain fillers....they correct not fill....

They don't have fillers added, but they do fill a bit. It's probably just a little oil or wax as PS contains some carnuba.
