Fastest way to make abused paint look good??

This is for a used car "wholesaler" , so the cars are only meant to look really nice for the auction, and they don't want to pay much at all.
ideas?

Basically a one step process. Meguiars D151 can be used as a polish/glaze/wax depending on the pad. Others can chime in on their favorite one-step products. The goal for "wholesalers" is for the vehicle to look clean ("Shiny") and not so much for total perfection. Maybe XMT360 as another possible option.

Agreed an AIO would be your best bet. Haven't used AIO in years so I'm not up to par on Z, XMT, Poorboys, or Klasse.

Sounds like just the time to use Megs 151. Buy it by the gallon if this is a job that is going to be sending you some pretty high volume.

Yes, exactly!

do you need to clay first with the M151?

Try some Megs 86 also

XMT 360 is very quick and easy, makes a nice shine too. But thats the only AIO Ive really used.

Optimum PoliSeal by hand is excellent for this.

It's cheap, $20 for 32oz. It applies fairly easy, it cleans the paint well by hand, and it's super easy to buff off. You can do multiple cars quickly, easily, and cheaply in one step and it will make them look great.
