I haven't used the stuff but here is what the Meguiar's website says about it.
Medallion Premium Paint Cleaner
Introducing the finest way to prepare your car's paint by hand, orbital buffer or dual action polisher. The <strong class='bbc'>rich lubricating formula[/b] of Medallion Premium Paint Cleaner safely cleans away blemishes and oxidation, preparing both clear coat and non-clear coat finishes for Medallion Premium Paint Protection. Used after washing, simply apply a small amount to an applicator pad or a clean, all-cotton terry cloth towel, and gently work into your finish. With minimal effort you'll remove fine hairline scratches-even stubborn stains! For use by hand, orbital buffer or dual action polisher
The AIO is purposefully designed to work well in conjunction with SG. I'm all for experimenting but for prepping for SG I'd stick with the AIO. just my .02 of course
