Between myself and a few friends, I have my choice of the following AIO products. I already use KAIO, so in your opinions, of the following, which (if any) would you recommend instead of the KAIO (applied by hand to a black car):

ZAIO
AutoGlym SRP
FK215
DG101
Poli-Seal

Please note it will be topped with Colli 845.

Also, I have no problem with the KAIO, just wondering if any of the above might be better.

Again, please only keep responses to the above options.

Thanks!

Out of all the listed products I have only used the Zaino.

Goes on and comes off really easy. And it smells great!.

I think that the next product that I want to try is the PoliSeal. All the reviews of it sure make it sound like the 8th wonder of the world.

What about XMT 360? It seems to finish well on black.

With hand application and a black car I my choice would be AG SRP for it's light cleaning and good filling capabilities. Depending upon the color of the car or the condition of its paint I will most often times change it up.

The AIO that I own are:

D151
M20
XMT 360
Poli-seal
FK215
AG SRP
DJ NFS
DG 501

For moderate correction I use D151 and DJ NFS.
For light correction; xmt 360, poli-seal and FK215.
For good condition paint: DG 501, AG SRP, and M20

KAIO is a great all around product will good chemical cleaning abilities.

OPS is very easy to use.

I would stay with what you are using since this is hand application. If you wanted something better then KAIO by hand I would say Jeff Werkstats Prime:STRONG has better chemical cleaning power then KAIO ime.

I agree with this. I haven't used JW Prime but the advice is correct: since this is hand application you need as much chemical cleaning power as you can get.

Tom,

I just used Poli Seal for the first time after using a compound to remove swirls and scratches. It worked out great, as it gave me a finish polish, sealant and wax in one.

I want something with some correction capabilties that cuts swirls without needing a compound. Will PoliSeal work for a Ford Escape in OK shape or is there something better?

Can you use XMT 360 by hand?

I wouldn't see why not. I have most recently used it to correct the wheels on my wife's Pathfinder. It did a great job removing 80% of the scratches. It also made the clear coat look really glossy.

Thanks! I was thinking about using an orange pad for cut. PoliSeal does seem to disappear pretty quickly, so I'm having to guess whether it is leaving a finish or I need to reapply to the pad. It does leave a very nice finish after compounding with Megs UC.

Megs D151 has been recommended to have reasonable cut but I've heard the sealant is a little weak. I want to remove moderate swirls and defects in a one-step, with reasonable protection and finishes well for basic daily drivers and work vehicles.

Alan,
Your list is very helpful. Would you please share your choices for the different AIOs within the correction segments?

What is DJ NFS? I just can't figure out the acronym.

Thanks!
