Does anyone know of a good AIO that is Carnauba based, has good cleaners and will not stain trim? The only one I can seem to find is Poorboys.

Have you tried Gold Class, its cheap and fits all the criteria that you have specified. I don't know how well it clean though. Megs 66 is another that is carnuba based with a little better cleaning capacity.

My personal favorite is Megs D151. Lots of correction and wax protection with easy wipe off. No staing the trim either
 
I have yet to try a Meg's product that didn't stain trim on my cars. I own M16, M21, M26, D151 and M66, used to have Gold Class and Cleaner Wax.
 
@yakky: FYI, Megs Ultimate Wax and Ultimate Quik Wax don't stain trim and actually do a better job of trim dressing than many (most) dedicated trim products.

thats my weapon of choice when it comes to waxing. gold class over the body (wipes of easily when gets in contact with trim) then UQD over everything after 12hrs of gold class coat. im surprised how well the trim looks after the UQD.

UQD and UQW are different products, BTW. The trim will look even better and stay looking good a lot longer if you apply UQW, IMO.
 
Guys, thanks for the recommendations, but it seems that either the product stains trim or isn't a cleaner (UQW).



Some background about my request, I'm looking to do some long term testing on a DD that stays outside 24x7. I'm looking to compare a sealant based AIO to a carnauba based AIO.
 
Yakky, Poorboy's Polish with Carnauba comes to mind. Don't know about the staining thing, but maybe someone has experience with the current formulation?

Yep, that's the only one I can find. And after a not so grand experience with Pro Polish, I'm not sure I'll jump on it. My other alternative is the Mother's Carnauba cleaner wax, but I'm pretty sure it stains trim.
 
I think I've got a small amount of the original PB product. I suppose I could send it to you "in the name of science" ;) I have no idea how my old product would compare to the current formulation.
 
From an AIO standpoint, you can consider XMT Carnauba Finishing Glaze. Decent cleaners, quite a bit of fillers to hide marring, and a definite carnauba look. I don't recall it staining trim as I could easily wipe it off after it hazed - Although it does leave the trim semi-glossy like you just dressed it. The only hesitance I have (which may not work with your test) is that its durability is pretty craptacular...maybe a month...definitely on its last legs after 2 months

Thanks, I might take you up on it but in the name of true science, we'd get some hater that would ask... did you use the latest version???

I'd try Optimum's Poli-Seal or Werkstat's Prime Carnauba.



Poliseal IMO isn't really carnauba based, and durability is pretty lacking. Prime Carnauba however is a good suggestion.
 
Wouldn't Vanilla Moose qualify as a carnauba-based AIO? It's never stained trim for me but I've only used the early versions of it.
