    I voted AIO/S100 in a strictly 2-step sense but as I know I will eventually put more layers on, I would vote AIO/SG with subsequent layers of SG. AIO/SGx1 is not all that, but AIO/SGx3 or more is something truly special.

    I agree but, I was wanting to get a sense of what others might do if you were going to detail a friends car once and then let them take over from there. Most folks don`t want to spend the time to put on multiple coats.



    Currently I am AIO+SGx4 and am about to put on the S100. I think SGx3 is perfect. I did not see a noticeable difference in the 4th layer.

    I like the AIO topped with NXT choice for black and red.



    If it were a light color I would go with the S100.

    Ahh, the swirl question...



    that could be another poll, should it be PP+GW vs. #82+NXT

    I`ve used PP+GW+NXT on my black truck. you get the durability of GW and the darkening effect of NXT.

    What is GW? I assume this was a typo for WG (Wolfgang) :nixweiss



    If not I would like to change my vote to AIO and NXT.

    GW - glanz wax



    I really like ( assuming the paint is in good condition with no swirls ) GEPC and S100. But it will need more maintenance than say an AIO + SG but look much deeper.
    Detail your car, do it. No seriously, do it.

    It surprises me that AIO is so easy to use, why can`t they make SG just as equally simple? Not to start a flame war

    For me, it has been somewhat simple:



    1) Put very little on my MF applicator (I use a little pump spray)

    2) Apply in a "#" pattern with your last wipes being in the direction of the wind.

    3) Use a MF towels to wipe it off in the direction of the wind (WOWO)



    I just did our MDX and used about .5 of an ounce in about an hour.

    Is that because of cost or durability?
