When you do a 1 step job what do you guys use?

What is the best AIO out there?

If I`m doing a one-step-only job, I use Klasse or Zaino AIO. IMO both perform equally well. Not much cutting power, but good shine and decent longevity.:biggrin:

I don`t have much to compare it against but I`ve used Meguiars Reconditioning Cream D151 and I thought it did a competent job. I wasn`t thrilled by it and it is probably not for the weekend hack (like me) but I could see how it would be VERY useful in a high volume setting.

I also think it is geared more towards pros than hacks, as Tim Lingor`s review shows that he has worked wonders with the product and likes it a lot.

Poli-Seal is pretty much my go-to, it just works very well for me. I`m sure it`s loaded with oils/fillers, but the customers paying for one steps are never really concerned about swirls and marring. I usually just top it with Optimum Car Wax

I will also occasionally use ZAIO on cars in better shape and when I will be topping with a sealant. I used ZAIO on my gold Lincoln the other day and it seemed to do a great job cleaning up the paint and removing some light marring. Put Z2PRO on top and it looks awesome.

Klasse AIO is a nice product, but I was never too fond of it as an AIO. I used it with great success on rubber trim, wheels, etc.

Meguiars M66 or D151 for me. M66 is newb proof too! :thumbup:

I used Meg`s D151 for the first time this weekend on my daughters Cobalt and I thought it worked pretty good. I`m doubt I got everything out of D151 that the pro could though.

Thanks guys for your help on this one. To tell you the truth I don`t know if any AIO would work. This is my sis-in-laws car and of course she doesn`t want to pay. The car is in horrible shape and I don`t want to spend all day trying to make it look decent. Take a look at these pics and tell me what you think. I know I`m in for a world of hurt, but she won`t leave me alone.

That`s clear coat failure....don`t waste your time. You could make it look a little better for a short period of time, but it needs a repaint.

Don`t even bother.

Rasky FTW!!! Clear coat failure 100%. Call the paint shop!

I`ve tried KAIO. I wasn`t too impressed with it.
I`ve heard a lot of good reviews and all of that, I just didn`t think its durability was where I was expecting...
My AIO product and the best I`ve found is DG501. It cleans the paint like no other, gives a great shine, and it lasts...
