AIO -vs- Polishing and Wax

[Beemerboy]

I brough some Klasse and have used it on my black BMW two times in the last two weeks. I have to say that the shine is good but its almost got a smeary look to it.
I got the Klasse for jobs that they do not want to pay my top dallor.
When doing a car I have followed these steps for some time now and always turn great results.
Wash
Clay
polish
Swril remover
Glaze
Wax


Anyone else feeling this way I guess there is no fast way around getting the job done right

Since I use AIO for the first step and follow it with UPP or S100, I can`t be sure about any smeary look. The UPP or S100 goes on right after the AIO, but I think I would notice if it looked smeared. I do think that AIO will do a great job of cleaning and prepping for about anything you want to put over it. It is not a swirl remover, though.

Any chance you are putting it on too heavy?

Charles I used small amounts of it with a foma hand pad.
I guess what I`m saying is it looked OK but after doing 6 steps on the car the shine was clean and wet looking.

I can see where the Klasse will help alot on jobs that I do not get the top dallor for
