    all in one vs. seperates

    Hey Mike I have a 2014 Toyota Tundra crewmax in magnetic gray. (dark gray) It is my daily driver. How much better does using a polish and sealant work over a all in one product. I like the time savings an all in one produces but I also like the look of using a sealant after the paint has been prepped and then going over that with a wax the next day. Is there a all in one that comes close to this process?

    Question 2.
    What is the best all in one you recommend?

    Question 3.
    What is the best product yo use if I want to go the distance and use a polish and sealant method.

    I know these are loaded questions but any direction you can give me would be very much appreciated. Thank you Mike.

    You will never come close to the protection longevity of a sealant/wax with an AIO. Also, while AIO's can and will correct paint, a dedicated polish can do better in most cases.

    AIO's are great for saving time as you said, but they are not the best choice if you are not going to top them.

    That being said, you can use an AIO and then top it. No law against it.

    Blackfire One Step, McKee's 360, and 3D Speed are all excellent products for AIO's.


    As for polish/sealant combo's, You will get a ton of answers on that.

    Menzerna, Pinnacle, Maguires, Griot's Garage, and 3D all make very good polishes.

    As for sealants, Wolfgang Deep Gloss Paint Sealant is a product most will agree is among the best, but there are many, many others.
    It is no coincidence that man's best friend cannot talk.

    IMO: Not really.

    I don’t personally know of any current
    “Hybrid-AIOs” that contain both Sealant
    and Wax molecules—molecules that have
    been cleverly designed/programmed to be
    intelligent enough to ‘stack themselves’ in
    such a manner as you describe above.


    However:
    I won’t discount that the current uptick in
    AI may, someday, trickle down to, and be
    incorporated into, everyday Consumer
    products—including those that we associate
    with car-car.
