Okay, so help me out here and please correct mistaken assumptions. In the detailing process:
1) Wash & clay
2) Polish out scratches, understanding there may be swirls
3) A milder polish to remove swirls
4) Seal & wax.
Assumption #1: I was told that Klasse AIO would be good to use after the polish but before the sealant to ensure any oils from the polish are removed. Once oils are removed the sealant adheres better, and wax?
Assumption #2: Use a quality polish that will not put "fillers" or oils in the swirls. It was suggested that Menzerna has oils and hides swirls, only to be seen later. But then I watched a 3M produced webcast that clearly says after using Perfect IT 3000 SE will leave an oil on the surface...and that's a good thing. (I tried to find the video link at 3M but it's down right now. I thought I misunderstood the 3M presentation, but I know the bottom line was that oils would remain on the finished surface and that would be a good thing.)
Question: After you've applied a final polish, are oils a good thing?
Make sense?
