The love and Hate of AIO

That should work fine unless you have marring (swirls, etc.) that you need to remove prior to applying the AIO.



You might not need to rewash the car after claying if you use plenty of clay lube and wipe things off well.

IMO- AIO is a chemical cleaner and the swirl marks are being removed by the foam pads composition (cutting/polishing)

Agreed.



I really like AIO but as with all sealant systems, excellent surface prep is mandatory to get the best results.

Thanks for the welcome, seems like a great place to learn learn learn. :xyxthumbs



The car is virutally brand new, it was made in Aug of 2004 and sat out on the lot until about 3 weeks ago.



No visable paint issues but I figured I`d hit it with the AIO anyway just because that`s what people seem to recommend. :nixweiss



If it`s an almost brand new paint job would it be wrong to go straight from the clay to the SG?
