Looking for a long lasting AIO. Something that I would use on a customers car after claying. Easy on and off but am really after durability more than cut. Also prefer something that doesnt discolor trim. Asking for a lot, i dont know if there is anything out there or not? Or maybe im better off just sticking with a regular polish and sealing with a wowa product? Thanks for any help.
 
Here's my time slayer, Fg400 + hydro2

To me most aios do not warrant a charge for a full single pass, I only do either non corrective or corrective details. Any product designed to cut, polish an seal will not have the same removal strength as a true dedicated polish and/or compound. Though compounds like fg400 can stain trim in the sun and do take more time to clean up.

Just my two cents...
 
I have come to LOVE HD Speed. Surprising cut with a cutting pad and finishes great. Also get amazing results from 3 quick section passes. I've only ever used it in direct sun and it's always easy to wipe off and has not stained trim on me yet.

My second favorite is probably PB PwS

Can't speak for durability but in terms of looks I'd have to say that category goes to speed.

I have used Speed, i just feel there should be something more durable out there.
 
Oh an for what it's worth, TAPE, Tape , Tape it all! It will save you more time then a clean up. Take it from someone who's lost track of how many corrections have been done...
 
Depends on the how bad the paint is, most of the time I go for the Rupes 21 but if it's not bad probably the 15 because it's smoother. I rarely use my 3401 anymore or my rotaries, except my pe14-2.

Duragloss 501 has the best durability/longevity among the half dozen or so AIOs I've used by a fair margin.

I agree with the 501. It is a great chemical cleaner but has little to no abrasives. It does have very good durability. If you want a little more cut, I would recommend the Duragloss 671 Swirl Remover. It has some light abrasives to aid in the paint correction and still leaves behind a very durable sealant. Just don't expect to correct moderate to heavy paint defects as the abrasives are light.
 
we use Meguiars 66. extremely cheap, very easy to work with, really good results, but nothing in this market is going to be known for "durability" that's kind of a contradiction.
 
Really dependent on your local environment and customer's habits, holistically.

For my customers, I am usually noting 6- 8 weeks for durability for 151, which is pretty darn good for an AIO.

Wiping the vehicle down with D156 after can possibly add another 2 weeks.

HD Speed is a better product to work with in finishing, work time, wipe off, and *the new version* cuts as hard as D151... BUT Speed doesn't last in my climate. 4 weeks tops. Wipe down with HD Express and I am looking at 8- 10 weeks of protection.


D151 is cheaper than Speed and D156 is easier to work with (and faster) than Express.

Trying to present Meg's vs. HD AIOs fairly.

DG501 is fine but durability isn't as spectacular as some state. Virtually no cut. More suitable to light base colors due to the product's great chemical cleaning. You will use quite a bit of product vs. 151/ Speed/ M66.

M66 is very oily with a very mild cut... not even close to 151 or Speed. 4- 5 weeks protection noted, for me. Very cost effective product. Chemical cleaners seem weeker than 151/ 501/ Speed.
