It’s extremely easy to use, this is the 4th time I’ve used it and the experience reminds me s lot of HD/3D Speed. Much like Speed, it’s a bit tough to get out of pads though and will stain them.

Subbed! I'm enjoying these AIO tests. You get to the end of the test quicker than these coating tests haha. Fast finish seems like a great product to throw on top, I'm curious to see how it fairs.

Re: DP Polish and Seal VS McKee’s37 360 mini test.
Hey DetailZeus, sorry I never replied idk how I missed it!! But yeah I kind of like them for the same reason, they’re relatively short term tests and being so easy to use doesn’t hurt if they fail after 3 months. You pull out the polisher, a few pads and AIO and good to go! I’m trying to do my best and not use any toppers on the hood and any gloss enhancing/wax shampoos to really test the AIO and not any toppers.

Re: DP Polish and Seal VS McKee’s37 360 mini test.
UPDATE: 15 days later and I gave the car it’s first wash, it’s outside 24/7 been getting a lot of pollen accumulation and on and off rains. The first 7 days or so saw heavy storms and downpours, along with good beading and sheeting. The past 7 or so days, I assume due to all the pollen and road grime from rain drives, hasn’t seen the same beading or sheeting. I waited about 2 weeks as I believe this is what Eldorado2k asked/wanted to see, that time was up and I wanted to get this into the pay and spray and give it a wash!
Before I left I took some hood shots.
I tried to capture the dirt and grime build up but the metallic is popping through with the sunlight.
If you remember, the rest of the car, besides being split 50/50 with 360 on the drivers side and DP AIO on the passenger side, I applied Megs UFF over the entire car besides the hood. I have pictures of the water behavior from the AIO products and UFF.
The following are pictures of UFF taken within a couple seconds after being sprayed down, I haven’t taken a mitt to the paint work yet. I wanted to test the surface tension of the sealant when it’s been covered in pollen and grime.
Roof
Passenger side door(this side has DP AIO, very similar behavior on driver side with 360).
Those panels have UFF on them, this is the hood with a thorough rinse wearing only the AIO’s. DP AIO on passenger side, 360 on driver side.
Pretty darn flat, they cleared water quite slowly and 360 was fairing a little bit better. I then washed it with DP Car Wash(I’m moving and most of my stuff is packed up now, I wanted to use Reset but it’s already in Florida). I have pictures of the soap on the surface to show how the sealants seems reacting to it.
DP AIO is looking pretty flat, 360 is resisting it a bit and I may have washed that area down 10 seconds before the DP AIO side. I then did a final rinse of the vehicle, immediately after spraying the panel is FLAT, I continue to rinse and the panel starts to come back a bit. The pics will show the change.
First rinse picture taken immediately after
Then I rinsed a bit more “thoroughly” and took pictures right after, maybe 10 seconds after and then a minute after to see the sheeting(they were done beading by this point).
The 360 was performing quite well in the sheeting department, if I had a flooding hose I’m sure it would have no problems clearing water. The DP AIO struggled quite a bit here, I think it could still be flooded to sheet water better, but I doubt it would be impressive. 360 other than only lightly beading, still resisted the pollen/grime from the first rinse, then resisted the soap during the wash and cleared the water at 2-3x the pace of the DP AIO. I’d say there’s a clear winner here and although DP AIO might have another 2 weeks in it I decided it wasn’t worth it as I’m moving in 2 weeks. 360 did well here and could probably go another 4-6 weeks. So looks like DP AIO would make about a month and 360 2 months.
For sh#ts and giggles, here’s a few panels with UFF after the wash and pictures taken within 3-5 seconds of spraying the panels down.
Roof, 360 in foreground, DP AIO in background.
DP AIO on passenger side, drivers side looked about the same.
There it is, finished test. I feel an AIO still has its place, especially in outdoor work, high heat and humidity. They seem to work in much more varying conditions and can be manipulated with pad choice. Also, you can take a durable sealant and throw it on top it and it seems to bond and hold up well short term. Using something like UFF only added some 15 minutes to the total detail, added much more protection and applied while I wiped off the AIO’s which I had to do anyways!! This is a great combo and a bit of a game changer for overall speed, quality and mobile work as well.
Some finished shots after using Turtle Wax Ceramic Spray Wax and a final wipe with Megs Last Touch Detailer.
Tell me your thoughts on the test, do you feel any different about AIO’s because of it? Would you use them without an added topper and just reapply every month or 2 or add a durable sealant and stretch it out another 2-4 months? I’m interested it what people have to say, so if you have any tests or ideas on AIO’s, please share!

Nice, thanks for the updates.
Good luck on the move (one of those terrible experiences in life IMO). You moving for work? Weather? Family?
