a true one step polish

If I'm doing a one-step-only job, I use Klasse or Zaino AIO. IMO both perform equally well. Not much cutting power, but good shine and decent longevity.:biggrin:
 
I don't have much to compare it against but I've used Meguiars Reconditioning Cream D151 and I thought it did a competent job. I wasn't thrilled by it and it is probably not for the weekend hack (like me) but I could see how it would be VERY useful in a high volume setting.

I also think it is geared more towards pros than hacks, as Tim Lingor's review shows that he has worked wonders with the product and likes it a lot.
 
Poli-Seal is pretty much my go-to, it just works very well for me. I'm sure it's loaded with oils/fillers, but the customers paying for one steps are never really concerned about swirls and marring. I usually just top it with Optimum Car Wax

I will also occasionally use ZAIO on cars in better shape and when I will be topping with a sealant. I used ZAIO on my gold Lincoln the other day and it seemed to do a great job cleaning up the paint and removing some light marring. Put Z2PRO on top and it looks awesome.

Klasse AIO is a nice product, but I was never too fond of it as an AIO. I used it with great success on rubber trim, wheels, etc.
 
I used Meg's D151 for the first time this weekend on my daughters Cobalt and I thought it worked pretty good. I'm doubt I got everything out of D151 that the pro could though.

Thanks guys for your help on this one. To tell you the truth I don't know if any AIO would work. This is my sis-in-laws car and of course she doesn't want to pay. The car is in horrible shape and I don't want to spend all day trying to make it look decent. Take a look at these pics and tell me what you think. I know I'm in for a world of hurt, but she won't leave me alone. :)

That's clear coat failure....don't waste your time. You could make it look a little better for a short period of time, but it needs a repaint.
 
I've tried KAIO. I wasn't too impressed with it.
I've heard a lot of good reviews and all of that, I just didn't think its durability was where I was expecting...
My AIO product and the best I've found is DG501. It cleans the paint like no other, gives a great shine, and it lasts...
