You should not get haze from IP
MrNorwall said:but say I use WG SR or IP with yellow or orange, would KAIO with a white get rid of haze if any or will a yellow have to do, my car is red so i can move the PC as fast as possible and still no hazebut i have some black i detail sometimes,
BTW LC CCS Pads
this is crazy, im in the exact same situation as you. i just ordered ip and kaio (for my red car) literally 5 minutes ago. i was hoping the combo would work, mainly b/c i wanted to try kaio but i didnt want to have to buy another polish. i have polish to use, but im really hoping for no haze.

I've used KAIO on a lot of surfaces and it's simply *never* removed marring for me. Even on the soft single stage black lacquer of my Jag's door window frames, I can't remember it ever doing any correction; KAIO is functionally nonabrasive IME.
I like BigJimZ28's response regarding AG's claims. You simply have to take *ALL* ad copy with a grain of salt, a certain degree of hyperbole is the rule of the day, even with vendors I know/like/patronize. "All in one" products are, well, expected to do it all, even though that expectation isn't too realistic. Note that KAIO was once more aggressive (abrasive-wise) than it is now, and when it first came out most paint was softer single stage; things are different these days but I still see KAIO advertised as doing everything. Heh heh, I've also read ad claims about how it lasts for months too...yeah, right
Noting that *I have never used Menzerna IP*, my painter does use it, and he *always* follows up with a milder final polish. Whether you'll need to or not depends on how hard/soft your paint is and your technique. I'd certainly plan on using a second polishing step, as I do even when using products milder than IP. But use a real polish, not a paint cleaner like KAIO.
The whole "which pad" question is a whole 'nother ball of wax...the only way I ever effect good (and timely) correction via PC is with 4" pads. But I'd never expect any product to finish out ready-to-wax if I only used it with a yellow LC cutting pad; I'd expect to step down to a milder product on a polishing pad. Orange pads don't finish out ready-to-wax for *me*, but they apparently do for others :nixweiss
