So I did a Benz e350 2012. I did the AIO on a 6 inch polishing pad. Did the whole car!

Then went back to buff it off and it WAS IMPOSSIBLE

this stuff sucks
 
The vehicle had WG Deep Gloss Sealant On it already. I put it on 6 months ago!
 
Yeah I have a bottle I used on half a car and stopped using it. Ran into the same issue. Was ridiculously hard to buff off. Haven't touched it since.
 
You'll find a couple helpful tips and tricks in this thread: Up Close & Personal: Wolfgang Uber All In One

Uber AIO is best treated like a true swirl remover or polish. Work a small section at a time for 4-5 passes (usually broken down by then). Granted, it's not going to win any awards for being the easiest AIO or polish to wipe off (that goes to XMT 360), but that's the trade off with the amount of CUT and the DURABILITY offered by Uber AIO.

Since the hood of this Focus is oxidized, the paint is very dry, which means I want to apply Wolfgang Uber All In One heavy, or wet. For maximum cut, I applied the AIO with a Orange Hybrid Cutting Pad on a FLEX XC3401.

I cranked the FLEX up to speed 6, applied about 20 pounds of downward pressure, and worked on an area about 16 x 16 inches. 4-5 passes were performed.

For maximum longevity, Wolfgang Uber All In One needs to dry to a haze before removal. This takes a minute - TOPS. If you're working on oxidized single stage paint, I would recommend buffing it off immediately and then applying a second thin coat and letting it dry to a haze. Not necessary, but it does promote better longevity.

I'm just really upset

Another auto geek product that they hype up and it's not user friendly

I will agree that it leaves behind a deep layer of protection and the shine is awesome.

But so hard to buff off
 
I've been playing around with uber AIO recently. On my last try using a flex 3401 and an orange pad I got much easier removal with less passes, around 3 or 4 and wiping off within the first minute. Letting it dry for any longer than 5 minutes it was killer to remove. Still testing the longevity, 1 month as of now, but the water beading is great.

How long did you wait before wipe?

Did you go around the entire vehicle applying the AIO and when finished go back to the starting point to start wipe off?

Various products have different working performance/feedback and can not all be judged the same way.

This is the product's advertised strong point.

If you are looking for an AIO with ease of wipe off as a priority, perhaps pick up a bottle of XMT 360. If added durability is also valued give the vehicle a wipe down with a spray wax such as XMT 360 spray wax.

YES I do

Ok thanks
 
I'm a pinnacle fanatic but XMT 360 just doesn't CUT the mustard for me. It's so weak even on white cars. HD Speed IMO clearly wins the AIO battle when weighing in cut, durability, ease of use, gloss and cost.
 
I've tried the Uber AIO too, and it does produce great results, but is - by far - the most difficult AIO to remove. After a lot of playing with it, it's much easier to remove within 30 seconds of application and supposedly durability is not affected by this. If your still having difficulty removing it, a light mist of spray wax on your buffing towel helps too. Good luck with it!
 
I have a VW Jetta on Wed. This will be my first time using my Menzetna 3in1. Any pad suggestions? Im thinking LC orange flat on my Flex. Its red with some flaws all over.

This is why I like sites, such as AG. You get feedback from actual user's. What works, error corrections, how to, etc. I have used them all, and currently have my favorites. Remember if works continue using.
 
I just used the Uber AIO and also found it to be a bear to remove, almost as difficult as Klasse sealant, almost. (I do not use machines, all by hand.) Next time I will follow the advise found above by applying it in small sections and buffing it out right after a haze in about 1 minute. What a workout it was to do my Jeep Patriot with Uber AIO! End of summer I will use either the WG 2-step or Klasse for winter protection.
 
Well you can't compound an ENTIRE vehicle and leave the product on and wait until you are done to remove it. That is a huge problem. I have used it, I got good results, cuts more than D151 with the same pad but was not as slick after. You have to work ONE area, a small area, then remove the product and move on.
 
I'm a bit disappointed to hear how hard it is to remove because I just got a bottle and have yet to use it.

For those of you that have had this issue with tough removal:
How many different techniques did you try with it?


Or did you just try and use it with the same technique you're used to and got bad results?
