Which one would have more paint correcting ability, XMT360, ColorX, Werkstatt's Prime Acrylic or Optimum Poli Seal? Have some swirls and scratches on my Black 2006 Lexus GX470...My wife drives it so I dont really get much time to clean it up plus im usually pressed for time when it comes to maintaining my cars so I need to use an AIO...Do plan on topping it with Souveran Spray Wax and then some Optimum Opti Seal...

I think that would be between xmt360 and poli-seal.

Both are excellent, but I think 360 might have more corrcting ability.

I think XMT, Poli-Seal etc are more pad specific, meaning its the pad that does the correcting, the product just cleans and fills. Can't remember but I think ColorX/ScratchX has some abrassive quality.

I tried the XMT360 on my other car with an Orange LC pad last and it didnt get all the swirls out....Do you think the Poli Seal with the Orange pad would work better since it is more pad specific on either car?

I just used Poli-Seal on a surface that had some slight swirls. The end result is nice, but I don't know how much of the swirls are just concealed with fillers. I also used a white LC pad. Here's some pics.

I haven't had any experience with 360 or other AIO's of this nature, but the Poli-Seal is a nice product.

I don't think poli-seal contains any fillers...

From the poli-seal page: This revolutionary product will eliminate (not hide) minor paint imperfections and blemishes while creating a perfect shine on all types of paint.

Well then it does a better job than I initially gave it credit for. Thanks for pointing that out Ron!

XMT 360 and Poli-Seal would be best choices. Never used anything from WerkStatt. Megs Color X - nothing really special, just another cleaner wax.

Prime Strong would have the most correctablity.

Ditto, I want to try the 360, but I already know it's good stuff. :)
I love the poli seal though too.

From what I understand, the prime is a chemical cleaner. Never used Colorx though, but I've read good things about it.

Nice work, and that's all from the product, optimum polishes do not have fillers. And the PS uses a sealant rather than a carnauba for it's protection.

how often can you use an AIO product like these? Is using it once a month too often?

Once a month is perfectly fine. I love Poli-Seal too, but I have to compare it with FK1 215 as well.

I really expected more correcting ability from the XMT360...Used it on both of my black cars with some minor swirls and didnt do as good a job on them as I expected....Still have some swirls on both of them...Think next time out I will try the Optimum Poli Seal....In my opinion so far the Werkstatt's Prime Acrylic has had the best results for me

XMT 360 is surprisingly good as most areas of correction. Prime Strong is very similar and another choice. Poorboys Polish w/ sealant and Optimum Poly-seal are nice but I personally would use for minor correction.
