Majority of my business revolves around used cars for local dealers. A lot go to auction & fortunately my dealer has recognized the extra value they have at auction with more than a glaze on a hammered paint finish.

However I often get "Front line" cars from the dealer & the it I get driving by seeing cars I've completed sitting on top of the show case or shining better than anything else around is highly satisfying.

Now this isn't a cool car by any standards, but it's a cool color and I tried a new to me All In One polish & sealant by Chemical Guys. I had to use a compound and yellow pad in a few areas but 90% was with the AIO and I just have to show off the results.http://imageshack.com/a/img905/1787/z87zPk.jpg

It took roughly 5 hours with the AIO and spot compounding. Used compound below the door windows, as those were hammered. The AIO was successful in removing 100% of the swirls from only 1 complete working. I didn't quite believe my eyes, as Optimum Poli-Seal was the only AIO I've used and wasn't totally satisfied with the results, but having a large inventory I couldn't justify letting it sit in the shelf. Once it was gone I tried the CG AIO. I plan on ordering hd speed soon and giving that a try.

The AIO did a great job of removing all swirls, proven with an IPA wipe. It seems to have a really good initial cut, it seems to do all of its work in the first 2-3 section passes.

It was a welcomed relief to be able to do 1 complete work on a section and just move along. I estimated this detail to take 6-8hrs depending on breaks, but I managed to finish in 4hrs.

I used a Hex Logic white pad and was impressed how the combination finished. I experimented with a blue Hex pad but it required 2 complete works and after an IPA wipe a few stubborn swirls could be seen.

Nice stuff!!.... I always wondered how their AIO could cut (even though it was on soft Honda paint) cuz it's not listed on the updated compound chart

Looks great! HD Speed is another great AIO for jobs like this; lots of cut, leaves a great finish and almost no dust.

I was pleasantly surprised with its cut. It has the same consistency of M105 when you first squeeze on the pad. Itll tell you quickly if you're using too much just like a compound lol.

Dealer was happy when they picked it up, I have a blue Tacoma to do Sunday morning that will get the AIO with spot compounding in areas. I'll tape some areas off and get a good comparison of before & after with one complete section working.
