Megs SwirlX vs Klasse AIO (by hand)

[torque1989]

pals, can ya tell me the basic difference btwn both? Can SwirlX take the place of K-AIO?

About Klasse AIO, I know that it produces good results by hand but how swirlX performs compared to Klasse AIO by hand?

To my mind, they're two different products, with somewhat different aims. Swirl-X is a polish (based on the SMAT article that Mike posted, one with somewhat more cut than M205) , used for removal of minor swirls and paint hazing, while KAIO is a functionally non-abrasive chemical cleaner that leaves behind a bit of acrylic sealant. So I use Swirl-X to refine paint (maybe to remove wash-induced micro-marring, or as a second step to a prior compounding session), while I use KAIO to clean the paint and serve as a base for a new wax or sealant layer. I suppose you could use Swirl-X for paint cleaning, but why use an abrasive product when you don't have to?
