For customers looking for a quick wash clay wax I am looking for a good All In One product. There are many out there so I just wanted to get some opinions/suggestions, Also what pad is normally used with these products?
Auto Finesse Tripple with a green uber pad cleans up very well in my experience :thumb:. Durability is about a month....
I've used DG 501, Optimum GPS, Optimum Poli-Seal, AF Tripple and Megs D151 and some zero cut, chemical cleaning only, products. Per Porta DG501 is the one I reach for most often: very good cleaning, very good durability, mild cut with diminishing abrasives. B&S/Uber blue pad works too if you only need cleaning without correction. Optimum GPS is also very good, more cut than 501 but SMAT rather than diminishing abrasives. Poli-Seal has less cut and less durability than GPS, however, it makes a good cleaner/tune-up for Opti-Coated paints D151 has the most cut but IME is slightly less durable than the two above. I just don't get on with it as well as 501 or GPS. Tripple has diminishing abrasives, not much cut. I like it as a base for waxes but as a stand alone AIO not so much.
I have not tried the Blackfire AIO. I have topped both Poli-Seal and GPS with Opti-Seal v.1. It seem to sit fine on either of them but GPS is fairly durable as a stand alone.
I'm still living in the past and love Klasse AIO and Menzerna FMJ, the FMJ has more correction ability than the Klasse does and leaves the car super slick. But alas my 32oz. bottle will be the last I ever get. Time to find a new one.
DG 501/601 and D151 get my vote. DG 501 will last 5 months on a car parked outside and have proven it on my own vehicles. Plus it cleans very well too. D151 has great cut, finishes down nicely and will last 2-3 months. The key is letting it set up and dry to a haze before removal.
On the pad 3 to 1, 3 pea size dots of DG 501 and 1 of 601. Do the entire car, let it set up and then remove. Removal is a breeze.
