Heh heh..."as much as *SOME* Autopians love polishing..."
Sorry, just couldn`t resist.
Edlancer- Actually...my "Annual refresh" is seldom more than another coat of FK1000P. Yeah, seriously, seldom even clay (and claying recently, for the first time in years, resulted in next-to-nothing on daily drivers). But eh...OK, that`s just me. Just sayin` that sometimes you don`t need to go all Autopian about it after all.
I`d go with an AIO. Some of `em have really (*REALLY*) mild abrasives anyhow, not that I`ve ever noticed any correction at all from any of them.
And all the AIOs I`ve used are utterly Accumulator-proof, easy as can be if used properly. Can`t say that about every Finishing Polish I`ve tried. And no need to IPA/etc.-strip or anything like that before going to the LSP, which can even be delayed until after the next wash if need be. If you do notice any marring/etc. that you want to correct, you could do those spots quick and easy..well, Q&E compared to doing the whole car.
EDIT: Oh, and I have some AIOs that must be 20 years old (bought before we moved into this house). They`ve separated. They have some nasty blobs in them. They`ve "gone bad" (note scare-quotes) to an obvious extent. And/BUT...they work just fine, 100% satisfied with their performance even though I expected to try a test-spot and throw `em out.
