What’s the Difference Between a One-Step Polish and an All-in-One Polish?

Confused about whether to use a one-step polish or an all-in-one (AIO) product? In this episode, I break down the real difference between these two polishing types and when you should use each.

Whether you're a DIYer or a pro detailer, understanding this difference can save you time, deliver better results, and make your polishing process more efficient. I’ll walk through what a one-step polish really is, how pad choice affects results, and why AIOs can work—but don’t always deliver the same long-term performance.
