    Best one-step product?

    I do a lot of cars for friends and family plus others that people refer to me.
    Obviously not every car needs nor every person wants to spend the money for me to multi-step their exteriors (such as clay, polish, wax, or clay, compound, polish, wax, etc).
    While some cars really don't need multi-step process most cars from people I know do as they tend to not really take care of their cars well and are not cleaning or detailing fanatics.
    I really dislike having to JUST wash than put a coat of wax on a car when I know it really needs more attention. Granted, everyone is usually thrilled simply that their car is clean and shiny and they didn't have to do it but I would like to at least do the best I can on these cars within the limitation of only being able to do one step.
    I've been using the Megs #6 Cleaner Wax on these cars to at least try to clean up the paint a bit while waxing but was wondering if there was anything else that may be more effective or work better as a one-step product.
    Hey, if #6 is my best choice than so be it, but figured it was worth asking to see if there are better alternatives.

    BTW, if it matters, I use a Flex 3401 DA with the 6.5" LC CCS pads so a product that is DA approved would be preferable.

    Thanks for any suggestions or recommendations

    Well, for me, i think you can go with the klasse AIO, or DG501, both of which have worked for me and give good results for customers whom dont really want to spend alot, but want a good shine.
    Quality before Quantity!!!

    I like both Optimum Poli-Seal and Klasse All-In-One, neither has much cutting or cleaning ability but both leave behind a great long lasting shine and protection. I will almost always top either with another sealant or wax, and usually use a dedicated polish beforehand. I have not tried any other AIO products though so I can't compare them to the rest.

    poli-seal would get my vote...especially for the price. I like DG105 too but I don't use it as much as poli-seal.

    I've been thinking about trying that, but I keep wondering what I'm going to do with a gallon of the stuff if I don't like it. Samples anyone?

    well, it seems that the Klasse AIO & Megs D151 have the most votes. Considering that you guys say that the Klasse doesn't really have any cutting or cleaning power to it it doesn't seem to fit the purpose I'm looking for.

    I think I'll give the D151 a try. I read up on it and it sounds pretty neat - has both cutting power and ability to finish down really nice plus waxing all in one step. I'll order some up on my next supplies order and give it a trial.

    I can't believe nobody has mentioned XMT 360. That is a terrific one step product that does a great job on oxidation and light swirls. Here is a good example on this A4.







    That's with just a PC and a blue edge 2000 pad and XMT360. It is a really good one step product. And not only is it DA approved, it is DA designed! XMT products are designed for machine use.

    To achieve excellence, excellence cannot be rushed. Technique is just as important as the product used.
    While my approach takes more time, the results are far superior.
