Are we talking Meguiar's #00 hi-tech wash, or #62 car wash & conditioner?
This is probably a question best suited for Meguiar's. You can call them at (800) 347-5700. Open until 11PM eastern M/F, and until 8PM eastern on Saturday.
Let us know what they say.

Just talked to Meguiar's.
To summarize:
All Meguiar's wash products are very similar (their words). The Professional #62 suds better and the Gold Class has better sheeting action, but the difference is minimal.
I used the #62 yesterday and was pleased so I'll stick with it for now.

STONER POLISH AND SEAL
from stoner's website:
Polish & Seal is a one-step surface cleaner and polymer sealant that gives long lasting shine and protection for delicate finishes. Its chemically advanced formula is engineered for clearcoat and enamel finishes.
Polish & Seal surface cleaner and polymer sealant combines cleaning and waxing into one easy step. It saves detailing time! Polish & Seal provides long lasting shine and protection on both clearcoat and enamel finishes.
I have wanted to try this product for a long time but like other forum members was hesistant to order because there were no small sizes, it only comes in gallon containers. I know PAC used to carry it and I went to put a link to it and see it is no longer there. Maybe because everyone was scared to order a gallon of a new product? Anyway I finally pulled the trigger and ordered some from Stoner's website.
This is a 1 step product. 99% of my customers only want a 1 step and honestly most of the vehicles I work on are not worth the $ investment of a real paint correction. Being mobile I am almost always working in direct sun so I am limited to products that can perform in that situation. Given my choice of a 1 step I would use KAIO, but I rarely have the shade so I always am searching for a new product that works like I do. This product is formulated to work in direct sun and heat so I figured I would give it a shot.
Vehicle was my bro-in law's GMC pickup, charcoal color and pretty neglected. It was 87 degrees and sunny. The roof was so hot you couldn't rest your bare hand on it. I used a white pad on my Flex 3401. The product went on smoothly and never really dried out while working it. Results were very nice, the paint really darkened up nicely and had a great gloss. Here's a 50/50
Cleaning ability was better than expected....here is the pad from 1/2 the roof
As for "polishing" it's never gonna do what 205 or any dedicated polish will but it did show some promise:
before
after
also a truck I did the next day, same product and same conditions.....hadn't been waxed in at least 3 or 4 years:
Overall I am very pleased. For my particular situation this is a really super match. High heat and direct sun are my constant companions and Stoner's Polish and Seal delivered everything promised. If you are in need of a 1 step product you can use in the sun feel comfortable buying the gallon, you will be pleased.

Wow very very cool!!!! Thank you for the review! Have you ever tried Autoglym's Super Resin Polish? I would like to see how the compare.
Did you have any dusting in the sun/heat?

Is the AG Super Resin Polish recommended for use in the direct sun light?
I have used Poorboys World Polish with Sealant, and have been very happy with the results, as I also do most of my detailing in the direct sun light.

Thanks for the review. Does it have any correction abilities or does it fill? I noticed that some of the scratches on the gray vehicle were reduced but I was just wondering if they were filled or corrected.
Did you use speed 6 on your Flex?

As I read the title of this article, two questions immediately came to mind: What do seals and the Poles have in common? And why is Stoner reviewing them? :huh:

Todd - no dusting whatsoever. I suppose that since it really doesn't have much polishing ability it lacks a lot of abrasives, so no dust.
Rusty - I used speed 3 on the flex for this. I tried upping it and saw no noticeable improvement. I also did not want to add any more heat to an already hot surface. I suppose that it fills more than polishes though. The scratches were not fully removed, but much less visible.
Akimel - how did you know I was a stoner??

Not sure about the poles and seals though......

I have tried the' Autogylm SRP - and while it didn't dust much, it didn't do much "polishing" either. It was a nice cleaner wax and left a very slick finish. I waited a week, washed it and applied AG HD - decent combo.
