AIO vs Menz FF ???

Bigpikle · Jul 13, 2007

Just about to get into machine polishing and have been recommended the Menz 3.02 and FF polishes, and from the results I've seen from them I can see why.

After also seeing lots of good results with the Klasse and Carlack AIO I am wondering exactly how these differ?

I have a 3 yr old and also a new car, with light swirls etc as you would expect, but nothing too severe. I am paranoid about using something too abrasive, but would really like to create a superb base for some quality waxes.

Can you enlighten me on exactly what these different options would give me please....is an AIO going to give me any swirl removal or just fill them???

Thanks

AIO is non abrasive, it is a chemical cleaner so it will remove oxidized paint etc whilst leaving down a tough layer of sealant at the same time

They are totally different products.

The Menzerna is a true polishing compound. It contains aluminium oxide to cut a very even and fine layer off the top of the paint.

The Carlack on the other hand is a totally non-abrasive paintwork cleanser/selant. It works by chemically cleaning the paint, removing oxidisation, contamination and lightly filling swirls. It also lays down a layer of acrylic protection.

I tend on most details to polish with the Menz and then give the whole car a once over with the Carlack Systematic to properly prep the car. The cleansers remove any traces of oils left from the polishing and the acrylic layer is an ideal base for just about every other product.

thanks guys

If I was going to use HD Cleanse or Swiss. CF, then presumably there is no need for the AIO, as it will be removed?

Yup, using any kind of cleaner over another product will remove it
