Hi guys,
How`s is the Meg Color-X compare with AIO or PBPP?
For all the cars I have detailed, I had been using AIO. So, I wanted to try out some different brand of polish.
thanks

I actually started a thread a few days ago, on pretty much the same topic..
I was looking for a replacement, or competitor for AIO.
Turns out there isn`t one... The closest everyone could come was colorx...
I have colorx, and AIO, and they`re not even the same sport..
Colorx is more of a fine abrasive made to smooth things out, like S100 shine enhancing cream or such. A combo of a weak abrasive and a polish.
AIO is so much more... I say you do what i`m doing. Stick with what works...

Oh thats sux. Dont get me wrong, I love AIO. I guess I will stick with AIO bit longer, unless there`s something out there thats about the same. :nixweiss
Thanks for the info.

Polish w/carnauba will be closer to AIO than ColorX is. It will be great if you are using a carnauba LSP, but if you are using a sealant you may be better off with AIO.

How about 4* Ultimate Paint Cleanser. This is also a paint cleaner. Hows this compare with AIO? Does the 4* UPC contain any abrasive?

You could probably make your own version of AIO with 4* UPC and UPP mixed together.

I`ve tried mixing liquids of similar types (polish with glaze) before. Two paste waxes make sense too I guess.
Mixing a cleaner/polish with lsp ... I wonder how effective that would be. I`m guessing durability wouldn`t be too great until you added another layer of UPP by itself.

P21S + #16 = P37S :p

How did you come to this conclusion? AIO and Color X are very similar. They are both pre wax/sealant cleaners that leave some protection behind. If you think AIO doesn`t contain abrasives think again. Do a search on AIO containing abrasives . There are many that feel it does.
Although AIO and Color X are not identical (what two products are?) they are more similar than different. To say they are not even the same sport is just simply not true.

I did a side by side comparison between AIO and ColorX on my hood.Both applied using a PC.To me the clear winner was ColorX.You could see that the ColorX side added more gloss.And neither one has affected the durability of the Z2 I applied over it.For the price and availability ColorX will be my go to now instead of AIO.
