Best OTC one-step

[Don]

I'm most likely going to be detailing a group of police cars this summer. What would be the best OTC cleaner wax to do a one-step on these cars? I'm trying to find out what color they are, but my contact hasn't gotten back to me yet.

Either white wax of mirror bright polishing wax. White wax will correct more using it on a cutting pad like a compound.

Or get a gallon of #66 from Pepboys.

I like D151. M66 would be good too.

D151 gets my vote too. From a light polishing pad to a synthetic wool, it'll give great results.

It kind of depends on what the best is for you.

Easy application & ability to work in sunlight if needed: I would vote for D301 DA Microfiber Finishing Wax applied with a DMF Microfiber Finishing Disc & M66 Quick Detailer a close second. These products do not offer much cut, & will only provide mild cleaning/defect removal, but will do great at increasing gloss & providing some good protection.

D151 Paint Reconditioning Cream will provide the most cut for an AIO out of our Professional Mirror Glaze & Professional Detailer Line product lines.

White Wax is also great as a one step but is only sold in a 7 oz paste size.

Thanks Nick, I ended up ordering the D151. I only have your thin cutting and polishing pads (maroon and yellow) so they will have to work.
