Best AIO Polish for 1 step?

[imported_detail1]

After reading several threads on professional detailers who are doing just a 1 step polish followed by a wax/sealant based on customers` demands, I would like to know what does everyone think is the best AIO?



I would like to post a poll but don`t know how.



Poli-Seal

Megs D151

Klasse

Menzerna Final Polish



I know there are many others. Just wanted people to mention their favorite AOL and why.



Thanks

As an AIO connoisseur (I have probably 10-15 in my bin), I`ll be glad to stick my neck out here...



Zaino AIO aka ZAIO - Strong cut for AIO, finishes great, the shine is WYSIWYG, lots of AIO`s look like poop after a rain washes away the oils/fillers, and there is no AIO out there that has the durability of ZAIO.



I like Poli-Seal for quick cleanups but it does fill a bit and doesn`t look very good after a rain. Durability stinks. I do love how easy it is to use though.



D151 is awesome for really rough cars, though I also really like M66. No durability though.



If you need only mild cleanup and a touch of polishing, the stuff in the orange bottle!



Now for my controversial soap box stand.... if you are topping an AIO, you are wasting your time and/or your customers money. You would be much better served using UNO with a Polishing pad and then top with Optiseal if you are in a hurry or 845IW if you have a few more minutes. If you don`t trust your AIO for protection, why even bother with an AIO? If you are applying two products, use two dedicated products.

D151 is a very good 1-step product.

Of those I`ve tried over the years, the two I like most are Z-AIO and Optimum`s new GPS (which I find is much more user-friendly than Poli-seal).

I use D151 on 90% of my one steps and I love it. For something that doesn`t need much cut, I like KAIO.

I`m another fan of ZAIO, and I never expected to like it *nearly* as much as I do. [INSERT kudos to Dan for more or less talking me into trying it]

U know I really didn`t realize that AIOs also provided protection. I am a guy that likes to wax so I think I will skip the AIO and use Menzerna Final Polish followed by my LSP.



I can probably use an AIO on a mild winter day when time is very limited. Thanks for your info.



As far as final polishes, I really enjoy Menzerna.

Some AIO products do claim to provide protection. IME, that "protection" is typically very short-lived, sometimes measured in days or a couple weeks :( There are some out there that offer staying power.

ZAIO is my go to one step I have poliseal not to thrilled about the results, Dan is right pretty much one rain or 2 weeks it`s done.ZAIO looks pretty good on most colors and holds up well,a little goes a long way.

How can a product cut if it doesn`t have abrasives?

With chemicals. KAIO is amazing on oxidation, but it doesn`t have any abrasives to speak of.

[imported_DetailDan]

More like a paint cleaner with protection then.

I`m with you on that one, I wouldn`t call KAIO a real AIO. To me an AIO needs to:



-clean oxidation and other contaminants like tar/road grime/etc

-polish using an abrasive

-provide protection

Nuff Said :D

[BigAl3]

can any one chime in on how ZAIO and DG501 differ from each other and which you like better?
