What product for a one step polish?

[kleraudio]

Hey everyone ,

Got a quick question. I had an inquiry today about an exterior only detail and the customer does not want swirl/scratch removal, but they do want a polish.



What would you guys recommend for a one step polish. Maybe something like OP and a white pad?



SSR 1 and a white pad?



I definitely dont want to use an orange pad right?



Never thought a question like this would stump me, but I want to make sure i dont have to fix any micromarring because I am not charging that much for this and dont want to do 2 extra hours of free work.



Thanks in advance.

SSR 1 will work, but OP will make the paint look better by removing more defects and correcting the paint better, while not marring it.

Lst time I checked, OP removed swirls. How about 1Z Metallic Polish? Its a supurb AIO.

Some good AIOs out there:



Zaino AIO

prime

ect....

Lst time I checked, OP removed swirls. How about 1Z Metallic Polish? Its a supurb AIO.





Last time I checked, OP is a great polish as well as swirl remover.:rolleyes:

I`ve used Menz PO106FF/RMG for a few single stage buff outs and it finishes LSP ready. I would also second the AIO suggestions too.

Poli-seal, Klasse AIO on a white/grey pad.

Thanks guys for all your help!



Puckman - you used both Menz/RMG or just RMG?



Patrick, I dont mind some correction if the polish will finish down nicely and be LSP ready. Do you think OP on a white will do that for me?



I know what I want but cant word it right it seems. I need something quick that I wont have to work forever w/ a pad and will finish LSP ready but will also polish as that is what the customer is paying for....



I plan on topping this w/ some sort of nuba or sealant.



I dont want to go the KAIO route because I dont plan on removing much marring, just whatever the 1step polish takes out. and KAIO really magnifies imperfections.



I hope i cleared up what im looking for and not made it that much more fuzzy to everyone, sorry I am BAD with words!



Thanks again everyone

megs #66 will be what you are looking for...its a chemical cleaner wax that will remove any oxidation and fill in light swirling and leave behing about 2-3 months protection



by the way: why DOESNT the client want swirls removal??? he likes them or something?

[kleraudio]

LOL he doesnt like them just doesnt want to spend the money. I gave him a good price but I want to be out of there in 4 hours time.



I have been looking at XMT 360 and have seen some good reviews, maybe I will pick that up, it seems that I will be going w/ an AIO type product.



does 4 hours seems like a reasonable amount of time for this detail?

I`m no pro but an AIO like JW Prime or Poli-Seal with a light polishing pad would be my guess - since those are the only ones I`ve worked with :D

I just got my Poorboys PWS (Polish with Sealant) in the other day and used it on my wifes car, and I was really impressed with the results. Easy on, easy off, took out some swirls, left a very nice finish, and was easy to wipe off without any remaining residue.



I believe Poorboys PWS is their "All-In-One" product. You might want to check it out.

I would use xmt360 or clearkote moose wax.

[kleraudio]

Yea right nowI am leaning toward XMT 360, still dont know though, i will make a decision tomorrow, i cant think right now, its late!

4 hours is toooooo long...for a one step, you should be done in about 45-60 minutes, maybe 1hr 15 min at most...post wash
