    Whats your favorite AIO?

    Looking for an AIO to develop a less expensive detail. Never really used many before so I need advice.. names that come to mind are Meguiars Paint creme and Klasse AIO.. any other suggestions are welcome.

    I'm looking for something with the best bang for the buck for cut and protection.

    Thanks for your help

    Interested in some of the replies here since I never use a AIO. I always use a medium cut polish with a dedicated sealant afterwards.

    Poorboy's Polish with Sealant. Very very easy to work with, but doesn't offer much cut IME.

    Re: Whats your favorite AIO?

    If your swirls are minor or less than that, KAIO is awesome, been using it for years and it goes on so thin that you actually use alot less. Now if it doesn't cut as well as you'd like, well, you can always go over it twice "just to see", its a non-abrasive formula, so your not going to hurt anything, just use a pad that's for polishing though. If you use it by hand, make sure you applicator is dunked in water and wrung out pretty well, this helps spread the product out, thus using less once again. As far as protection goes, well, it honestly will last you about 2 monthes max but since its so easy to use, you could apply it once a month because its "easy on, easy off" and since its an acrylic you don't have that build up issue.

    Good luck in whatever you chose!

    Re: Whats your favorite AIO?

    Klasse AIO is good, but offers no correction. very good 'cleaning' properties but does nothing for correction in my opinion. In addition, the protection it leaves is pretty weak. Typically I'm only using KAIO as a prep for a dedicated sealant (to get a super clean paint surface)

    KAIO and megs paint creme are worlds apart in the world of AIO. the compound / polish chart kinda confirms that. the megs paint creme has much more cut.

    My AIO of choice is poorboys polish with sealant (which falls in between KAIO and megs d151 on the chart). it is pad dependent and I find it cleans well, offers some correction (depending on pad choice) and the protection is decent (compared to some other AIO's on the market). can be used in direct sun as well which is nice

    D151 if correction is needed, Meguiars cleaner wax(maroon bottle) when I don't need correction. Cheap, works, and you can't beat the smell..
