    Best "AIO" (1 Step) Polish

    The 2015 Sonata I have is a Phantom Black color with minor swirls on the paint. I have looked into many polishes such as HD Speed, Scholl Concepts S20, and Menzerna 4500, but can’t seem to narrow down choices with all the polishes on the market. Overall, I'm trying to achieve a 1 step polish to remove all swirls, and minor impurities out of the dark paint. What do you guys recommend for a "AIO" polish to be used on a black car?

    DA - Griot's 6inch DA
    Pads - Hex-Logic foam pad set, and some LC CCS pads

    Are you "waxing" after? Even though they confuse me, Menzerna 2500 on an orange pad is still an awesome 1 step.

    Re: Best "AIO" (1 Step) Polish

    Can you clarify your question.

    1. Are you looking for a AIO which has polish and protectant in 1-step?

    2. Or are you looking for a good final polish to remove the light swirls in your paint prior to applying a Wax/sealant?

    I've used HDSpeed on black and found it to be excellent. Seems to really finish to a very fine polish which is quite nice on black and dark blue. I can't speak to the longevity of the bit of Poxy/Sealant in it alone as I put a second coat of my LSP on top of it as it really only takes 15 minutes or so on/off by hand and I rest assured knowing it's fully covered.

    With all the spray waxes and sealants on the market used as boosters, the longevity of any AIO is really a non issue.
    In my day we didn't have the Internet, iPods,iPads, or smart phones....but we had some really bad-azz cars.

    Then why use an AIO in the first place?

    in the end why use one is because they provide the initial protection that silverfox is referencing typically gets boosted by so many other products. that said, it's almost pointless anymore to not use an AIO as they correct/perform as good as the best standalone polishes and provide protection. If you're going to use a ceramic coating then perhaps they aren't the product to choose though.

    Re: Best "AIO" (1 Step) Polish

    I think OP should try McKee's 360 AIO.
    I haven't tried it yet, but I'm looking forward to picking some up. They say it shines like a finishing polish + protects like a sealant. I'm interested.
