AIO Detailing Help/Advice - Please!
Hi all,
I have a 2021 Acura Aspec Apex Blue RDX. I want to use an AIO to shine it up and remove some of the fine swirl marks. I don't have a DA, so I will be attempting this by hand. Can anyone recommend the most user friendly AIO they've used with some success? I know this won't be as good as a 3- step polish, but it will be better than nothing. Any thoughts, advice, and/or help would be greatly appreciated!
Last, I have a bottle of Meguiars D166. Should I give it a whirl with a yellow Megs foam pad?
Thanks all!

I'm not sure how much success you'll have with working by hand.
I'm not familiar with the paint hardness of your car. Sometimes its difficult enough to get results with a basic DA polisher and an AIO let alone by hand.
3D Speed and Blackfire 1-step are popular AIOs on the forum. Lots of fans.
Since you have D166 use it on a test spot and see what you can make happen.

If this is a 2021 car it shouldn’t need too much work.D166 is fine, but I would probably do it twice to see if that gets it.. Also you probably would have better luck with something like Blackfire one step which is a favorite here.
That being said you’re going to be miles ahead if you to get an orbital like a Griots G9 but you said you don’t want to buy a polisher which I completely understand.

These two products can both be hand-applied, but the results will be sorely lacking compared to using a machine.
It is no coincidence that man's best friend cannot talk.

Just placed an order for Blackfire AIO. I really hope that this will make a difference.

Good, if this doesn’t work , what it is pointing you to is a medium pad, a Griots G9 and the blackfire one step. I have detailed a new 20 MDX, it was not unusually hard paint, so multiple passes by hand or an orbital will do the job with the right product.

Yep, I may have to invest in a DA.

You will be very happy with BF One Step, this is all I use on my black Acura TLX... Generally speaking, Acura’s have soft paint and do not need a compound and polish to correct anything minor, just a good polish or all in one.

Jayfro - Did you apply the BF AIO by hand or with a DA to your black TLX?
