If you owned these products, what would you do?

Focusing on a car in good paint condition (red/black) what would you use if you wanted to do only two steps? I have the following products:

Cleaners/Polishes
AIO
GEPC
#82
MP

Sealers/Waxes
SG
GW
NXT
S100

I voted AIO/S100 in a strictly 2-step sense but as I know I will eventually put more layers on, I would vote AIO/SG with subsequent layers of SG. AIO/SGx1 is not all that, but AIO/SGx3 or more is something truly special.

I agree but, I was wanting to get a sense of what others might do if you were going to detail a friends car once and then let them take over from there. Most folks don't want to spend the time to put on multiple coats.

Currently I am AIO+SGx4 and am about to put on the S100. I think SGx3 is perfect. I did not see a noticeable difference in the 4th layer.

I like the AIO topped with NXT choice for black and red.

If it were a light color I would go with the S100.

Ahh, the swirl question...

that could be another poll, should it be PP+GW vs. #82+NXT

I've used PP+GW+NXT on my black truck. you get the durability of GW and the darkening effect of NXT.

What is GW? I assume this was a typo for WG (Wolfgang)

If not I would like to change my vote to AIO and NXT.

GW - glanz wax

I really like ( assuming the paint is in good condition with no swirls ) GEPC and S100. But it will need more maintenance than say an AIO + SG but look much deeper.

It surprises me that AIO is so easy to use, why can't they make SG just as equally simple? Not to start a flame war
