AIO or PwC under #26 on red??

[imported_smprince1]

I will be doing a red car next weekend. No swirl removal wanted by the customer, but my guess is under all the dirt there is less than perfect paint. I will try to sell clay also, but don`t know what the customer will buy.



I have decided to use #26 instead of a sealant as a LSP on the red and also maybe to de-emphasize any paint defects.



My question is: Before the #26, what are your recommendations for a polish/cleaner, AIO or PwC? Pros/cons of each?



Thanks!

Haven`t used any PwC before, but AIO won`t hide anything, but clean the paint and seal it with a thin layer of protection. So if it`s defect masking you are after, I would go with PwC, a glaze like #7 or Hand Polish, and then #26.

You can go PwC all by itself, here it has some pretty good durability.

If you are going to do a two step anyways why not use something like #80, then #26. The #80 will at least remove some defects while improving the depth of the paint.
