Klasse AIO or Optimum Poli-seal?

[budman3]

Sooo.... to clarify some items for myself. Klasse AIO is more so a chemical cleaner than anything else?



Whereas Poli-Seal is a very fine polish, as it were to "mechanically" clean/polish a surface?

Bingo. AIO is great at cleaning paint and removing oxidation and some contamination. It's more of a paint cleaner with slight protection than a finishing polish with protection. Both have a place on the shelf depending on your use for them.

applied one coat of Megiar's #26 & a week later one coat of Meguiar's NXT 2.0.

I would've done it the other way around, #26 on top of NXT, not NXT on top of a wax. NXT did (or still does?) have some mild cleaning ability which could have removed the #26. Whereas the #26 is a pure LSP.

Everyone is speaking about AIO as a LSP it seems in this thread. I always believed that it was only to be used to prep the paint for your LSP and in many cases this was Klasse SG. I have never used poli-seal however I feel AIO + 7 coats of klasse SG for the winter adds excellent protection. For my cars however i am not trying to correct or remove oxidization as the car is already defect free. I just like long lasting protection for this time of year and switch to ultra shine carnubas for the summer. The question is, what does the durability of a surface prep matter?

Yea, I was confused as to the intent of use for these products. I'm still ordering my initial 'collection' of products so that I can both care for my own vehicles as well as provide a service on the side. Wouldn't either of these remove a wax or other LSP? Alone, do they provide enough protect to replace a wax/sealant; not that I'd use them in such a fashion but I do see that idea being inferred in this thread.



I have been keeping my eye on OPT Poli-Seal, with the intent of using it between polishing and waxing to prep the surface (remove fillers, etc) as well as in areas such as door jambs, etc to shine them up without waxing.
