If you owned these products, what would you do?

[imported_Malachi]

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

[LouisanaJeeper]

if you have swirls #82 + wipe off polish resdiue/oils with alcohol + SG



no swirls: AIO + SG

[6']['9]

82, nxt

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

[Jcrawford]

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

[imported_memnuts]

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



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

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 :D

For my car.......AIO & S100....... For clients cars AIO & NXT.

For me, it has been somewhat simple:



1) Put very little on my MF applicator (I use a little pump spray)

2) Apply in a "#" pattern with your last wipes being in the direction of the wind.

3) Use a MF towels to wipe it off in the direction of the wind (WOWO)



I just did our MDX and used about .5 of an ounce in about an hour.

Is that because of cost or durability?

[imported_rusty bumper]

#82 & NXT is the best combo I`ve seen so far.:up
