Route246, very good point about the interruptions.

Idk if I'd say that, I've had my own experiences with 360 which had lead me to use it less.

It has good cut and I'd say more then your average AIO.

360 is actually the only AIO I've ever used that Hologramed on me.

It does have great protection though and I don't want you to think I'm knocking it just stating what I've experienced.

That is what always happens to me. I almost never start and finish a 3 step process in one day. I just thought I was too slow.

Sometimes, my topping needs to be completed a week later during my car detailing time window which is Saturday mornings and into the afternoon if I don't have other obligations. The AIO leaves the paint protected until I can come back and top it. Wife, kids, family interruptions happen randomly.

No way in H E double L I'm finishing a 3-step in one session or day on my truck. I love detailing, but not enough to do it for 18 hours straight. Lol

Same... and part of the reason I only get twice a year (once for each car) to do a 3-Step, because it extends over 2-3 days and the wife gets pissed. This year I’m only going for partial swirl remover, and then maybe right to Speed, One Step or 360.

If you just have light swirls, Speed can take care of the whole ball of wax. (Pun intended...........).

I’ll try that. Thanks again!

Sounds like I'm about in line with you guys. I love it too, but I like to take my time. About 5-6 hours of it and I need to take a break. Too many 10-15 hour work days in my past. No need to make this a suffer fest.
