    If you're not taking advantage of the correcting properties of an AIO, use a straight sealant. It's going to be much more durable.

    Even though the OP is not really looking for corrective abilities, an AIO is still the most appropriate product type for the circumstances.

    There is always going to be road film to deal with and that is where the AIO comes into play. A straight sealant or wax won't remove the road film.

    Bingo.

    My truck is getting its yearly "exfoliation" tomorrow. The machine polishing will be only about 5% correction, and 95% "polishing" in the true sense of the word.

    This is possible because I use good techniques to wash/clean the paint year-round.

    I think too many guys/gals get the idea that using a machine to correct/polish is some kind of torture test on the paint every time. When in fact, it is the most beneficial step of all for achieving the most satisfactory results.
    It is no coincidence that man's best friend cannot talk.

    Exactly. I need something that will cleanse the paint, remove any old waxes/sealants and lay down protection at the same time. at best id like a slight corrective property. Like I said ive been using Klasse and its ok.

    Yeah, with some mechanical input, either from your arm or a machine. But clay or one of it's synthetic counterparts would do this as well.

    Bottom line, a quality AIO isn't going to take away much clear in 4-5 passes, give some correction and give some protection. I do an AIO once a year to polish things up and a quality sealant for the winter when I want durability.

    Just get the Blackfire One step....

    Like 2black1's said---gonna take 20 years before you need to worry! (Note: he's a painter and he knows what he is talking about!)

    And spray down some Blackfire sealant couple times a year.

    You'll be fine---don't overthink.

    Ditto that comment. BF One Step is so easy to use, and the BF Hybrid Wax goes great over top of it. I typically use Lake Country white polishing pads and the combo works great.

    BF is very very good for exactly what you're asking.

    The only thing better is DG501, white pad then an eraser* wipe down. Then 1 X Gyeon CanCoat.

    * Or a mix of 1/3 acetone + 2/3 original Windex. Better than Eraser.

    I buy from a local pro outfit near me in PA. Never tried any coatings from AGO. Nor have i tried a one step. Sounds like that might be your best choice for what your looking for.

    Could always try cancoat or similar as paul a suggested. Ive never tried it. But many others on here have, and can attest to it.

    And dont be scared to try a coating lol. It is not that hard...seriously, just have to pay attention a little. Makes the paint look like glass!AIO or other product?
