    edit: carlack nano is the same stuff. plus you can get it in a kit form with the wax i recommended earlier for ultra protection

    if the car is badly faded then it will still be hard work and all paint varies

    I love Collinite 476s as a wax. However, they now reckon that Autoglym HD outlasts it (no idea if this is true or not, I read it in an Autoexpress test - Autoglym have full page ads in most car magazines, not seen a Collinite one yet). You can get it free with some subscriptions to car mags, or buy it for 20 on ebay.

    The only other polish I use is Farecla G10, which is a much milder cut. Using G3 and G10 you can make paint like a mirror.

    Thanks guys.
    The only reason I asked about a sealant on top of the Klasse AIO is that when I googled it, a few results came back with people using the AIO and then a seperate glaze on top.

    Does the AIO have any decent cutting power? Or should I cut first and then use it. I know it says AIO but I do have a red Mk2 golf who has reached his 18th birthday!

    This kit looks good. Will it provide enough cut for poorly red paintwork? When I say poorly, it buffs up nice, but does require some elbow grease, however the oxidation marks can be stubborn and I have never managed to remove them all from the bonnet, so need something a little tough.

    And another question, is it better to use any of the these products with a machine polisher?

    Also is the stuff above better than a farecla G3, G10 combo?

    If used properly, a machine polisher will always outperform hand polishing (and be a darn site easier too). However there is obviously the added expense...

    It's recommended that you use Farecla with a machine but you can still get a good finish by hand, but not AS good IMHO.

    Thanks.
    So the Klasse/Carlack nano stuff for hand polishing, and the farecla G3/g10 combo for machine polishing.
    Sorted. :)
