Question Anyone else here a Klasse user

Just curious is anyone here uses my product of choice, Klasse All in One and Sealant Glaze. I find these products so easy to use and the results speak for themselves, well, you are the one speaking for them, so speak nicely

Klasse AIO is quite hard to find in the Philippines, and stocks go quickly...at least that's what I've heard. Well-recommended, sadly I've never used it.

NXT 2.0 is a great product and because its so easy to use, I suggest using it once a month because its so easy to apply/remove. Once you use it up, I suggest getting both products, I buy them here Top of the Line Auto Detailing Supplies

There is a procedure for using it, very easy. Take your microfiber applicator and wet it down real good, wring it out and your ready. One even strip across the bad is more than enough to do a section of the car (fender, hood, door, etc) It may not look like your applying enough but trust me, you are. When using Klasse Sealant Glaze YOU MUST NOT OVER APPLY IT! This stuff is hard to remove when you apply too much and/or are in the sun...DO NOT APPLY IN THE SUN, THIS ISN'T MEQUIARS NXT 2.0

When using it for the first time, like any other new product, I'd clay the car first, then one coat of AIO and then one coat of SG but here's the secret of SG, wait 12 hrs to apply the 2nd coat and watch that paint pop

BTW, the website I provided has many other products, many you can buy in bulk like quick detailer, wheel cleaner, etc and I've had nothing but great customer service with these guys too

Klasse really brings out the color of my revolution orange, better than any other color car I've had when using Klasse

I'm about to start using it, just need to get a good buffer first. I've heard nothing but positives about this stuff, can't wait!

Even when my car is "kinda" dirty, the Klasse shine comes right through I got my last coat on for the season about 3 weeks ago, thank God, Chicago winters are brutal. I've got a good touch-free right down the street, too bad they don't spray a little Klasse on there when it goes into the wax cycle

I used to use Klasse on my old car, and I've tried it on the Fit with decent results (blackberry pearl here). I think I like Poorboy's PwS better for this car however.

Klasse AIO with polycharger is very nice as well. I have a bunch of sealant glaze, but really haven't gotten around to using it except once, and just on the hood

Once I went Klasse, I've never looked back. You can apply it on the windows, on the headlights, on the plastic trim, etc. Much better than RainX.

I've heard good things about Klasse but never tried it. Zaino's supposedly the best in polymer coatings but is priced accordingly. I use Wolfgang deep gloss paint sealant 3.0 Wolfgang Deep Gloss Paint Sealant delivers a deep, wet, liquid shimmer unlike anything you can imagine. which provides spectacular results on BBP paint. You still have to perform periodic paint maintenance (claybar and and a superfine polish I use Menzerna Final Polish) to prep for the last stage product (wax or polymer). Most Klasse fans ARE very loyal.

Just to remind anyone who's reading this, you can ONLY use Klasse AIO on the windows and trim, NOT SG

I've used Klasse AIO and SG on other cars. I've only used the SG on my Fit for protection since I bought white and, well, I can't tell the difference on white, but I know the SG laid a layer of protection.

Yup. I used AIO on my last Fit (SSM) and was impressed with how easy it was to apply and remove. That stuff is amazing.

I have a bottle of SG but I'm chicken to apply it to the new Fit, which is CBP. I don't really have a place to wax my car in the shade so I have to be strategic. Although the car was delivered with some very fine scratches on it.

I dunno, maybe I'll cave and try applying the SG. It's just that a badly detailed black car looks so...well...bad. I don't want to make it worse. I should have remembered that my dealer's car wash looked more like a giant plastic hairbrush. Yikes. It is likely they sent it through this thorough scrubbing before they delivered it to me.

The new car has 200 miles on it and already my OCD is kicking in...

I have to say, though, I got the door sill protectors and the weathertech floor trays so my nightmares about carpet stains and people using the sills to knock their shoes clean have stopped. Almost.

Oh yeah, back to Klasse. AIO is awesome stuff.

If you don't have a covered area to wax your car, wash it early morning (as opposed to late afternoon since your car will be cool) and wax panel by panel, then just do that routine every week until your whole car has a coat of wax.

Tried it this weekend and AIO didn't take off the marks. I used new microfiber, etc, and was very careful. After I put it on, I didn't use the sealant as sealing in the swirl marks is even dumber than I am on a usual day.
The swirls might be worse than I was thinking or I'm going to have to clay it and do the whole process over again. Or something. I'm being very careful here. Hopefully I don't screw it up - ugh.
I had posted a longer post on my progress but it didn't seem to make it in?
Maybe a mod decided no?

Being a "shade tree" detailer let me tell you guys something that should help you out

Only recently have I broke down and bought a wheel and I can tell you this, THIS IS THE ONLY WAY TO GO TO REMOVE SWIRLS AND LIGHT SCRATCHES! I used to be VERY timid, scared actually, to use a wheel myself on my own car, I used to leave that to the experts but after being a customer of Griots Garage for about 6 years now, I finally took the plunge about a month and half ago and bought their wheel and kit. The wheel is VERY safe and doesn't spin that fast, so your not going to burn the paint. The way its designed lets you remove the swirls and light scratches without a worry. I still taped up things I didn't want to bump and/or get wax on but that's a given. The wheel and kit even comes with a free DVD, very informative and kinda funny at times The other key feature here is their special polishes, they go from 1 for VERY bad finishes to 4 for VERY minor imperfections. The kit comes with #3 which is the most common for average enthusists. The #2 is for those with red or black cars, then to be followed up by #3 and then the wax. Remember, polishing is only for getting out the swirls and light scratches and doesn't have to be done everytime, usually this is needed coming out of winter. My first time using the wheel, about 3 weeks ago, netted amazing results, using the #3 Polish and the provided Best of Show wax. To be honest though, I forgot how hard caranuba was to remove, even on a 60 degree day and applying it lightly to the pad. I couldn't argue with the results though

Now, the next time I wax, I'm going to hit the Fit with some AIO and follow it up with SG, although with as light as the Klasse products are, its probably going to look like I'm not even applying the product at all.

Finally someone early said they were afraid to use SG, well, go back in this thread and I'm pretty sure I gave some good advice on how to apply SG without a problem but if you need help, drop me a PM, I'm always willing to help out. BTW, I've always applied Klasse by hand without a problem, just wanna see how it is with my new wheel, results coming when I do it!

Happy Wipping
