Has anyone ever used this? If so, can you please let me know where you purchased yours? Thanks
 
I bought mine about 5 years ago from KMS Tools here in Canada... Still have 1/2 a bottle left, and to be honest, I think half of what I used came out accidentally... Their lids suck!



Product is great, quite likely the BEST swirl-filling semi-polishing all-in-one product I've ever used...



By hand it even does a great job, with a PC D/A Polisher it appears to remove a TON of marring, which unfortunately does come back eventually (fillers).



Great product!
 
I agree, it's a great AIO. Doesn't clean as well as KAIO, not as abrasive as ZAIO, but as noted it fills very well. Even more user-friendly than KAIO except that, like many filler products, it's not trim friendly (doesn't stain most trim all *that* badly but I'd keep it off those surfaces). It's just one of those products I simply *like*. Smells like turpentine or somesuch artsy stuff.



I *think* I got mine from CMA but I can't remember for certain :confused:



I find reasons why KAIO/ZAIO/SRP are all worth having on the shelf; one is often just a little bit better suited to a given project.
 
So as far as AIOs go, is there a better product I could use for filling purposes? I have a couple of friends that want me to detail their car but I'm not going to spend days on them (cause that's what they would need) and since I only have a PC, I thought an AIO with great filling properties would work best.



StumpyDetailing,

I remember reading a thread on here where someone tested several products and Autoglym came out on top which is why I'd like to give it a shot.



Accumulator,

Based on your experience, would any of your other choices work better for my situation?



Thanks guys!

No. SRP is the best filling all-in-one available. And it works GREAT with a PC.



I would use a white 4" pad for SRP, if you don't use 4" pads then a white 6.5" pad will work almost as well.



You can also do multiple passes with SRP on a 6.5" pad and get the same effectiveness as a 4" pad. Really working the product in, like a polish, allows it to fill the best and give the best finish.



I also use Klasse AIO, which I find not as user-friendly (heat and humidity can cause problems).. KAIO does not fill nearly as well, but as Accumulator said, it seems to 'clean' better... In my opinion clay barring before SRP is a good idea anyway!

I read the same thread, and I agreed with all the results the poster found. SRP has amazing filling properties, especially with multiple applications. And its just so flippin easy to use.. wipe on wipe off if you want, or work in and wipe off... :getdown

Stumpy,

Thanks for the follow up. I have a stock of 4" pads as well as the 6.5". Here in Dallas we're getting heat and humidity so I'll pass on the KAIO for now. I just wish one of the forum sponsors carried it.



What speed would you suggest on my PC?
 
I agree that SRP is probably the best-filling AIO, at least that *I* have tried.



I do subsequent applications very gently so as *not* to disturb what the previous application(s) left behind, and try to wait a day or so between "coats". Yeah, you can actually layer this mildly abrasive cleaner, who woulda thunk it?!?



One diff in use between SRP and KAIO- I like to buff off KAIO before it dries completely, much easier that way. But with SRP (and Zaino AIO), I let it dry until it passes the finger-swipe test.



I usually apply it via Cyclo using their white finishing pads, even if those are a little "tight" for this; a more porous pad might be a better choice, but don't try to make SRP cut more by using some aggressive pad.
 
agreed.



If I am doing multiple applications, I start out at speed 5 or 6 on the PC with a 4" pad (Speed 6 with a 6.5" pad) and really work it in like you're compounding.



Then follow up with another application at speed 4, sort of like spreading a glaze.



Let that dry to a haze, and the results are :2thumbs:
 
Alfisti,

Thanks for the link. They seem to be the only one that has the 1 liter size.

Do we get a discount from them?



Accumulator & Stumpy,

Thanks for the schooling on this product. I'll get it ordered and check it out when I detail my co-worker's car. So I apply the first coat on speed 5 or 6 with a gray pad then remove it. Then come back with another application on speed 4, then remove it. Do I understand correctly?



I appreciate everyone's help.

I apply it at a lower speed than that, more like 4-5 via PC (I usually do it by Cyclo). With the second application, the whole idea is to be a gentle as possible; I'd do that one by hand, just wiping it on with zero real agitation of the surface.



I dunno if the second application would be worth doing unless you can wait until the next day (due to solvent/etc. action).



BTW, topping SRP with Collinite 476S makes for one nice, quick, and long-lasting approach. Last time I did that people were guessing that the car in question had some exotic boutique wax on it :chuckle:

This will be on a black 750 BMW that goes through the scratch & swirls and she'll be trading it in for a new vehicle. I may hint to her that she should consider silver. :buffing:



Anything I do will be a major improvement. I have a Harbor Freight close by so I'll go pick up some Collinite.

Because SRP is limited in it's durabilty, will a sealant bond to it? It claims to be a polymer.

Yes a sealant will bond. Autoglym do there own sealant Extra Gloss Protection that goes over it, as well has Hard Wax etc.



Personally, i think a better all in one has to to be Bilt Hamber Auto Balm.



It looks better, fills better, protects longer and as long as you do a thin coat and buff off after a few panels then its easier to use too!



SRP topped with with Nattys Orig. is a great combo as SRP leaves things reflective and Nattys add some wetness, its a great combo!

I don't think so...sorry.

SRP is a sealant too, just one with cleaners. All sealants are synthetic polymers or resins. ;)

I've only tried a few sealants over it (not KSG) but they all seemed to bond OK.



And SRP isn't nearly as limited in its durability as one might think, this is no KAIO ;)

Does the Bilt Hamber do all that AIO stuff like SRP? I somehow thought of it more as a LSP than an AIO :think:

The Brits love it. Practically every C&B from the UK has SRP in it somewhere...

I think that has a lot to do with it being one of very few OTC products we have, every branch of Halfords has stocked SRP for as long as I can remember.



Personnaly I'm not fussed by it at all. It fills swirls well but it's a bit of a pig to use, dusty, really stains trim and the finish & durability are very average in my eyes.
 
Hey guys. Im back, well kinda.



I'm gong to co-sign on the positive feedback regarding srp; it is a pretty

good product with some nice filling capability. A few coats by machine and

by hand did a pretty good job on the last car I did. The car was swirled

to heck, so srp didnt hide everything. But I can tell you it was a big difference

from the way it looked before. As far as protection, it has a lil bit, but

dont expect anything long term; more like 1 month by itself, 2 months being

a stretch if the car is outside all the time.



Here's some snaps taken by Dave KG from his thread regarding swirl removal

by hand:

BTB, for kicks and giggles, drop a layer or 2 of the DWG on top srp before

toppin with an lsp. The look is quite interesting.
