Still waiting for my FP2 to arrive this afternoon but the other day decided to play around a little with the IP on the truck I'm about to detail. Here's the results with just a small amount by hand.

I'm impressed with it. Didn't really rub it much but removed the oxidation readily and removed some of the light scratches. I'll be working on this truck tomorrow with the following:



Menzerna IP w/ PC and polishing pad

Menzerna FP2 w/ PC and polishing pad

Klasse AIO w/ PC and finishing pad

Menzerna FMJ by hand w/ microfiber applicator



Think this combination is good? Can any of this be bypassed to speed up the process? I have other product as well...



3M SMR for dark

3M SMR for light

3M Perfect-it Foam Polishing Pad Glaze for Dark
 
You may be able to skip Klasse AIO, though I am not positive. AIO does have mild cleaners, but I'm not sure if they will be necessary at all after IP/FPII. It also depends if you care about the protection AIO leave behind.



Otherwise, your process looks good. No need to use those 3M products.

You can replace FPII with SMR dark, but FPII leaves a little bit nicer final polish. The IP would do most of the work and AIO is not necessary as its a cleaner/polish/protectant. AIO has no abrassives in it, but has chemical cleaners. Use AIO more as a prep for FMJ if you were not gonna do the full polish.

I would just skip the AIO. I did the same combo on my Integra and it came out great sans the Klasse.
