Car is an alpaka beige allroad, paint (except hood) is in very good shape.
My typical routine had been IP, FP with the PC, then Klasse AIO followed by Klasse Sealant.
The AIO is pretty much done, so what to replace it with?
I have a detailers donamin gift certificate burning a hole in my pocket. Was thinking either FMJ or Glanz. Any thoughts or other suggestions are appreciated.

not sure if fmj is a hand application or pc
I love glanz and I am very happy with it. FMJ is definately last longer though.

i think when it comes down to it, FMJ and Glanz come out about the same in performance. FMJ might have more gloss.
i've survived 6 month+ wintery conditions with Glanz. it does well with bugs, tree sap, and other fall out.

I went FMJ for 2 reasons, 1) SALE 2) theory is FMJ lasts longer and I don't get to detail this thing nearly as much as I would like to.

applied fmj to 110+ cars, was fine durability for daily drivers was 3 months. By judging from the negative space areas.
Switched to glanz 300 cars ago. durability is 4.5-6 months on dailies depending on weather. I also think it looks better.
Here is an abbreviated post i made there in this forum a few months back
Lets see i may have more exposure than most.
On and off 1-5 1 being a pain 5 being super easy or no wiping off
Durability 1-5 is 1 month to 5 months of daily driver use in seattles winter.
Correction rated 1-3. 1 can remove wipe marring, 2 can remove light buffer trails, 3 would be a final polish correction ability.
Klasse twins. Used together , The on is easy the off is a biatch 1 out of 5 comparatively. durability is a 3 out of 5 correction 1
FMJ On and off is 4 out of 5 durability is a 2.5 out 5 correction 0

JW prime/jett combo. On and off is a 2 out of 5 durability is a 4 out of 5 correction 1
CG 50/50 on is a 3.5 out of 5 and durability is 2.5-3 out of 5 correction 0
Natty's blue red white on and off is a 2.5 out of 5 and durability is a 2.5-3 out of 5 correction 0

Apo 60 on and off is a 2.5 (rotary lots of sling with correction capabilities) durability is 2 Correction capabilities is a 2 out of 3
