Can Klasse's AIO remove light swirls in a newer clearcoat, with say an orange pad and a p/c? Or should I do a seperate step of swirl removal? That would be done after applying AIO?

thanks

AIO's ability as a swirl remover isn't great though it does have some ability (any compound, cleaner or wax with a friction pad has some). I would probably limit it to a fine cut pad. Depending upon the brand of pad what ever is a step up from a finish pad. It is a very good cleaner and makes an excellent base for every sealer I've ever tried it with including Meguiar's sealants (I've used them all with it) and Zaino. It has some protection on its own but isn't the best choice as a last step product. Of course it works well with SG or any wax.

I always treat AIO as a pre-wax/sealant cleaner. That is, I use it after I've already polished the surface with something like OP, SSR1, #82, etc. I've never used AIO as a true polish.

AIO is basically a chemical cleaner, so don't expect it to remove any scratches/swirls.

Poorboy's SSR series, and Pinnacle XMT series will an an excellent job fixing imperfections.

I heard people suggest AIO has some swirl removing (abrasive ability). Sorry, just dont see it. More like a chemical stripper/cleaner. It probably the pad versus the AIO. Move to a dedicated swirl remover/polish .

Thanks for the responses, Killrwheels which swirl remover do you recommend? It's a 2004 metalic blue GTO, paint is in good shape. I just want it to really stand out, "pop"

Thanks

SSR 2.5 and 1.0 or XMT 3 and 1 ... both nice combos and work extremely well together.

Thanks, I think I will try poorboys. I like their EX Sealant with carnuba.
