looks nice...you dont need a rotary buffer tho for those swirls...our paint is very soft and those will clean up real nice with the PC and correct pad/product combo

So you only used the menzerna to take out the swirls? I guess the menzerna is pretty agressive. Does the AIO take out any minor swirls?

thanks, and good work.

Also which type of cutting pad for the intensive polish are you using? Orange/blue?

na, intensive polish isn't that agressive from what i've seen

and no, AIO doesn't really have any strong swirl removal abilities

looking at all these pictures of people detailing their car, i want to do a full detail myself although my car is only a week old :\

so what exactly does the AIO DO?

so what exactly does the AIO DO?

it's a paint cleaner/ sealant

most people use it to prep the surface for another sealant or wax since AIO on it's own will usually only last a month or two. they say it has swirl removal capabilities, but i really didn't notice that. still a great product that every detailer should have IMO

 

[ABPRSX]

I hear it gives a great shine?

Intensive Polish and a Cutting Pad will take out a lot of swirls, its my fav combo to use on dark colors with pretty bad swirls. hondas paint is pretty soft so this combo works great on our cars

AIO is a paint cleaner/sealant like seth said. i use it before a glaze then a wax and i use it to clean wheels, chrome and wood

 

[ABPRSX]

what about the optimum polish and a cutting pad? yellow / orange?
