I have been thinking for a while about offering some cheaper packages for the non exotic cars I do. I have concluded that a AIO paint correcting and protectant product is the way to go. I want spome thing that is going to remove moderate swirls and leave behind protection. I have looked at opt poliseal and it looks good, but im not sure it is powerful enough for some swirls i will encounter. Could someone recommend me a heavy duty AIO that can tackel moderate swirls and a regular AIO that can handel small swirls and other minor paint imperfections? Thanks:cheers:

XMT 360 for MINOR stuff, but it will cover up more then it removes.

Meguiar's M66 is my favorite so far with ColorX being #2 only for price (they are virtually the same thing).

I think people love XMT 360 a lot here.

The best AIO I have used is DG 501 MArine..it will correct lite stuff alone...now if you want to do moderate swirls take a 6oz bottle and do 2 oz of 106ff and rest 501...then you can do some moderate swirls....501 has no fillers...cleans like crazy and also adds some good protection.....

I've only used Poorboy's Polish with Sealant and thought it was good.

Do you really find XMT360 and Optimum's Poli-Seal head and shoulders above it?

Sorry but there isn't a product out there that'll remove moderate swirls yet still leave protection behind. The offerings listed about are all good products but if you want correction you'll have to sacrifice protection and if you want protection you'll have to sacrifice correction.

My favorite AIO process is to use Poorboy's Polish with Sealant with a cutting pad and work it like a polish but not as long. I'll go around the whole vehicle and then come back and remove the residue. To remove the marring left behind I'll quickly go over the car again with PwS and a polishing pad and then let that set for 30 minutes. So I'm using one product, an AIO, but going around the car twice. It's the only way to remove and protect without doing full corrections and spending a lot of time on the paint. I can wash, clay, do the above process, vacuum, tires and wheels in 2.5 hours.

Or another option is to use any of the above AIOs and use it as a polish and as long as there is no micromarring you can then top with a spray sealant or wax to ensure protection.

Don't except an AIO to be durable if you work it in like a polish and don't apply it like an LSP ... it's not going to happen.

Is xmt 360 stronger than optiseal? as far as I understand klasse containes no abrasives, just fillers to hide the swirls, which is not what I want. also Is xmt 360 stronger than optiseal?

Al..what pad and speed do you use for the marine?

If I use just 501 alone...I use either a white CCS or blue.....if I mix it with Menz then I use a white.....

usually I run at 3...I have gone 5 with the menz combo..but it was flashing fast...it may have been the hot weather also...

just plain 501 ..I just go 3 ...I did do speed 5 on a nice cool day,,but I also used a 4in blue pad and worked good...

I've had real good luck with Hi Temps AIO, it's several notches above Poliseal in correction and shine.
