Default 1 step Polish? (not a AIO)

Hello,

I just got done polishing/sealing my new 17' Z06. Today when the sun was really out I noticed that the CG V38 with Hex Blue pad didn't really get it 100%.

I am looking for suggestions as to a good 1 step polish that I will apply Wolfgang 3.0 sealant to after. I don't have the energy to do a 2 step at this point so I am really looking for a pad/polish combo that will get me the last 2% and finish nicely for the LSP.

Thanks!

There may be products out there that tout themselves as a one step, but by definition polishing (correcting) and sealing (protecting) are mutually exclusive steps. There are products that can conceal scratches, but you're not correcting - only filling them in temporarily.

Are you looking for correction or protection?

Why not an AIO? HD Speed with Lake Country flat orange pad is exactly what you want. And then you can hit it with the Wolfgang.

In fact, I would argue an AIO is a one step polish. The problem with AIO and other one step products is that people don't work it enough with several passes on a speed of about 5.

That process will take out 99 percent of whatever you have on that car and it will look flawless.
