    One and done.

    Easier - MUCH easier to do any touch-up work - by this I mean, if I see some swirls all I have to do is buff with the AIO and I'm done. Any other process that requires more step - that's the downside - more steps.

    For Joe and Joanne Consumer?

    Most people and probably anyone that PAYS to have a ceramic coating put on their car do not have the knowledge, skill, ability nor the tools, products and pads to do any touch-up work to their coated car, that is remove some new or fresh defects and then do all the steps to prep and the re-coat the affected area.

    With a product like Z1 and a simple Porter Cable - they can buff out their own car and do any future touch up. One and done.


    Ease of touch-up work is useful for me. There's hard water where I live and once in awhile (usually in the summer) I'll find water spots that do not come off easily during a wash or with a quick detailer. I know from experience that in my situation I could mess with water spot removers or rub on the paint (possibly marring) and most likely won't remove all of them. OR I can take 15 min and whip out the polisher and AIO and in a few quick section passes they're usually gone, which I probably would have landed up doing anyways.

    I can only assume these offending water spots are mild Type II water spots, and the light abrasives in the cleaner/wax are able to smooth them out.

    I came across this post the other day. I think it will give some insite in using an AIO and topping it.

    AIO is also good for preserving your clear coat if you're just looking for a polish touch up and not a full polish. I use it once a year and always top with wax (Collinite and OCW weekly in my case).

    The problem with the traditional approach - "a big spring detail then just wash & dry the rest of the year" - is that after a few months the paint finish will need a good cleaning and possibly some light polishing, as well. One-step AIO's provide the best time saving, cost effective interim solution until you're ready to spring for the next full detail.

    That before picture of the mustang looks rough; the water spots I see aren't half that bad! I know they had a group but that is a speedy turnaround.

    In most situations I find the paint washes up fine and I rarely have to polish out the whole vehicle more than once a year unless something really gets gooned up (like an unintentional wash at the dealer). However having the option to "spot correct" is nice, and I know I'd be wayyyy more inclined to do it if I can knock it out in one step vs polish/strip/recoat.
