[Justin at Final Inspection]

Going to be updating the longevity of the new Wolfgang Uber AIO in this thread.

Link to my initial review.

http://www.autogeekonline.net/forum/product-reviews/86378-review-wolfgang-uber-aio.html


My first update 11-8-14.

Truck sits outside in the Florida weather 24/7 and goes down a dirt road 5 days a week. Haven't washed since initial application which was on 11-1-14. After a week its still beading great.

Smoke....I just put it on my girlfriends 06 3 series today. It's a light color. Kinda like a frost green. Theven color presented a challenge to me as it was difficult to see the product haze. Also it didn't wipe off like a wax.....sorta sticky. It did give a nice shine but not a lot of depth...IMO. All in all the car came out real nice. It had a different feel from a wax....however it's the first time I ever used an AIO.

You hit the nail on the head. It is a little sticky but so far so good!

Just bumping this up

Nice beading!

Nice beading!

If it stays like this for the next couple months then it will be well worth it.

I agree!

I bet it looks incredible topped with any of the other Wolfgang LSP's...

Thanks for the update Justin!

The most common mistake people make when applying an AIO is they don't use enough product. You need to use an ample amount (I think that's one of Mike Phillips' favorite words :) ).

We all get caught up in the saying "less is more" so most people only apply 2 or 3 "pea sized" drops. While this might make sense for a finishing wax or sealant, it doesn't pertain to an AIO or cleaner wax. An ample amount of product is required so the cleaners in the AIO can effectively remove any embedded dirt and grime.

As with any other product, it can take a car or two before you're able to fully dial in your technique. I think it's safe to say that most every product we carry is easy to use once you get the hang of it.

Tips for using Wolfgang Uber All In One:

1. Ensure an ample amount of product is applied
2. Don't work the product too long - 4-5 passes is all it takes
3. Wipe the product off within 30 seconds of applying it - this is all the time it takes to "dry to a haze." You can eliminate the "drying to a haze" step completely if you can't get the hang of it. This will hardly impact the durability.

Products like Wolfgang Fuzion or BLACKFIRE Wet Diamond All Finish Paint Protection are so easy to remove that they tend to make every other product seem "finicky" or "difficult" by comparison. :laughing:

Keep us updated on the durability! :dblthumb2:

Thanks for the tips Nick! Your right about getting the process down after a few cars. Have a car coming in soon that I will use it on. I am really liking it so far.

Tested Wolfgang Uber AIO on a 20 year old worn out bumper. I'm sure this product wasn't intended for paint in this condition.

Just examples of the importance of the right product with the right pad. On the left, no correction, in the middle Wolfgang AIO with Purple Foam 4" Wool Pad, on the right WG AIO with white foam polishing 3 1/2" pad.

I've been letting it sit for 5 to 10 mins. Glad to know I can just wipe it after polishing. It's not a difficult product to use once you get the hang of it.

Did you try an orange pad on that bumper?

After your question I tried a orange CCS 5 1/2" on the old bumper following Nicks instructions. The correction and gloss are almost as good as with the foamed wool LC pad. It's hard to tell from the photo but the wool is slightly better but not much.

AG has hit a home run with this one. I can't wait to do a one step with it on a customers car. I will try it with the Flex 3401 tomorrow and I expect similar results. I will try to post some photos.

I had to look at the initial picture again... Due to the reflection I initially thought the white pad did better.

So the clarify - it performed better on that panel with the most aggressive pad, the purple foamed wool. Correct?

Yes the Purple Foam Wool pad was a little clearer than the orange CCS pad. But you have to take into consideration the bad shape of the panel. I think on a newer panel in better shape the orange pad would be as good.

I apologize for not knowing but I moved the precious post pictures to another folder in the gallery and I guess that made them not show up in the other post. I know now not to do that anymore. I accidentally deleted the previous photos from the other post not knowing any better. It won't happen again.

The main point to make is that Wolfgang AIO is a top notch product that gives excellent results with a good buffer pad and the correction was a surprise to me. With a good pad almost as good as a compound but with the gloss of a wax or sealant.

The photo speaks for itself.
