Hi folks.



I tried the Zaino - nice (plastic) shine, too easy to micro mar. Too much hassle to apply



Was looking at Klasse AIO until I read a couple of guys talking about how it doesn't protect well. I had thought it did?



Thinking about EX as well, Blackfire seems to be popular as well, and then there is UPP.



I need a little guidance as to which to apply to my black F150. I am looking for something that will last after being topped with Souveran..



I am polishing with Menzerna IP and then FP and a PC - works pretty good now that I am using the CMA yellow pad for the IP and the white pad for the FP instead of 2 orange pads...



I'm taking delivery of a new computer today that should allow me to upload pics sometime soon, as soon as I figure out how to work it with the digital camera....
 
AIO isnt really designed to protect - its there to clean the paint!

The Klasse SG is the protector of the two.



I've never used EX but it's apparently excellent, tho I HAVE used UPP and its awesome.



Your choice!
 
pward76,



Curious as to why the Orange Pads did not work as well for you vs. the Yellow/White pads?



I am also getting ready to use the Menzerna twins for the very first time with my PC this weekend. I have the Yellow/Orange/White/Gray CMA pads available for my use.
 
A little off-topic but we detailed a Black Regal yesterday LOL.



Man it was swirled to death - we got an extra $10 cos the interior was so bad.
 
jmsc -



I have no idea why the orange pads didn't work as well for me. Could be the weather, the time of day, operator error, or any combination of the above. I will say that the difference is very minor, it could just boil down to gut feel.....



I would be interested to get another (more experienced) opinion. Can you try them both and let us know how they work for you?
