Okay after reading through all different threads and racking my brain I have my selection narrowed down to either going with VM + EX-P or AIO/SG + WG. Looking for some input before I place my order. I have a PC so will be using that over hand application. Thing is I would like to be able to use which ever I buy on both vehicles '97 F350 White (daily driver) and '03 Expedition Red (garage kept and only driven 2-3 times a week). So I guess I'm looking for something kind of durable as I only have time to throw a top coat of wax on every 2 months and a full detail (complete strip, polish and wax) twice a year. I've heard the AIO/SG is pretty durable, not sure about the VM/EX-P. I would like to place an order by Tuesday so any help you can provide will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance

No matter which combo you choose, you really don't have to re-polish every 2 months. You might want to polish your F350 3 times a year, since it's a daily driver, and since your Expedition is garage kept, maybe only twice a year. You can re-wax every 2 months, but it isn't necessary to re-polish that often. You hadn't mentioned it, but have you thought about using a clay bar?
If you go with the AIO/SG, then I'd recommend not using wax on top.
With this combo, you can simply reapply the SG every couple of months. If you use the BillNorth method (WOO - use the search button), a reapplication of SG will less time than a wax application, and you will get the increased durability of a new coat of SG every time.
If you do apply wax over SG, then you need to stay with wax until you strip/reapply the AIO (to remove the wax).

I am just going by beading and ease of removing bird sh*t and bugs off the bumper. I did half my bumper with natty's wax and exp and the side with natty's beaded longer and also made it easier to remove bugs.
On the other hand with sg, I have actually had bird sh*t bead on the paint and it wipes right off.
