October 31, at 7: Miracle Method has over 1. April 30, at 2: Yes then you can use the wax on top after a week or so. Thanks in advance for your help.
Looking for other things. Simply scroll down the Calendar page. The listings at the end of the page are ongoing. After trying several other product over the last couple of years, including Griots and Eagle One, I decided to give Klasse another try. I followed your method using Meguiars 34 when removing the SG and after two coats, 24 hours apart, my Mercedes E looks great. Thanks for the detailed instructions. Glad it helped Don! Great discription on how to use Klasse products.
Water beading is not great, but you remember Rain Dance. Look at the gloss. Vivtor Orlandi, Wisconsin. Thanks Victor. I usually test the product durability by seeing not how much is beads rather how it beads differently from when the paint is stripped of all protection.
Hi, after being very frustrated with using klasse a few times using the wowo method invariably some residue would be missed and then i would have to rub so hard my arm ached , I tried this method yesterday on my car and it works like magic!! However, after doing so, I realized there may be a problem when trying to put multiple layers of klasse or topping off with a carnauba wax. Thanks for any insight. Thanks Scott, very happy it helped you out! As for your qd, I would simply try and use something that has little to no wax in it, so even if it is there you can wash it off with a couple washes and go ahead with another coat of KSG.
Thanks Ivan for your prompt and useful response. Great to hear from your experience with Klasse. Should make my car look great!! Ivan, great product review and methodology of application and removal. I would like to apply KSG to my windows, trim, and headlights. Do you recommend the same method when removing the product using QD for windows? Great review. Thanks again for the wonderful review. Thanks for the good words. Hi Ivan, Thanks for the info. Living in Arizona the UV damage is great.
Would this process protect the wood panels? Any help would be great. Hopefully one of the other guys here has some experience and can contribute. When I using Carlack twins my routine are: It works nice if remember put thin layers. Otherwise… really hard to buff off. Moist can be also problem if using products outside. Either way I suggest you try it on a small section, maybe a mirror or a lower portion of the bumper and see what happens.

If it works fine, try a larger section, like the fender, and test it there as well. If it works fine on both you should be good to go for the rest of the car. Hi Ivan, Would you use this on a clear bra? What about application with a buffer like the PC? Thanks for any advice. Actually I do Leon, not sure if you misread something. I do however shake my products yes ALL my products every couple weeks in order to mix everything thoroughly.
Thanks, Ivan. Will do with the Last Touch, becuase I have a boat load of it, chosen over Final Inspection for no great reason. If I plan to apply multiple coats of KSG, how long should wait between applications. Thanks in advance for your help. You should probably listen to what the instructions say, then feel free to experiment from there. Get review on the product and the process for application. Just one question.
The manufactures description suggests not using this on any type of plastics. Not painted? Thanks Daniel. I tried it on the painted plastic and it worked great. It looks exactly the same as the photos of the KSG on the applicator pad you posted, its made in Germany and is an acrylic based sealant.
Hey Ivan, Been using both Klasse products for many years and love them. I now have trouble with tendinitis in my elbows, so hand application and removal is difficult for me. The Sealant Glaze however I never got into machine application. You obviously have a problem with the elbows so I would say simply try it on a trunk lid or similar and see how it goes. Do you wait a certain time after applying the Klasse AIO before applying the sealant glaze to allow for bonding or do you go straight to the sealant glaze after an application of Klasse AIO?
Hello Ivan, wow what a great instruction article. I have been using KSG for several years now and have never really enjoyed removing it until I tried your method the other day. So so easy that I am looking forward to applying several coats as soon as the Final Inspect QD arrives later this week. Your instructions should come standard with every bottle of Klasse. Thanks a ton, Pete. I have read the KSG needs to cure hours between coats, or before applying the carunba wax. What is your method for second and third coating of the KSG.
Vince, I typically just wait a week or two until my car is again due for a wash before applying either a 2nd coat of KSG or a coat of wax over it. I have also many times done the 2nd coat or wax a day after applying the first, but without driving the car and opening the garage much so no dust gets in. In short, I really never had an issue with application between coats, whether it was hrs later or a few weeks. Hi Ivan, Is there a cure time where the car isnt allowed to get any moisture? KSG I have no garage and will be applying in the driveway I worry about morning due affecting the bonding.
Well I was hoping to do successive coats as I do not have garage space available to protect the car for any length of time. Will successive coats work without a prolonged wait, say a wait of 1 hour? Thanks for your reply! Hope that helps. Removal with CG V7 dampened microfiber was easy. Ivan, thanks for your thorough explanation of the process you use.
The dealer waxed the car before delivering it to me.
Do I need to remove that wax before applying the Klasse products, and if so, what is the best way to do that in your experience? My question stems from the following comments mentioned in your article: I appreciate your advice on this matter. Thanks for your reply. One quick follow up question: I'm new to claying. Is there a way to tell if paint needs to be clayed? The paint feels smooth as glass now. I would definitely not clay it if it feels smooth everywhere and is brand new. Also, claying might leave some light marring that would require polishing after, so unless it needs it, I would stay away from the clay bar.
Thank You! Followed the Guide and my new Truck looks incredible. I know your instructions saved me lots of time and energy. Im considering using a DA at a low speed for the application and wet microfiber steps and by hand for the dry. Just sharing my experience with KSG: I started with a couple applications of KAIO over a three week period.
I will try out your technique on my next application of KSG. Thanks for the tips! One quick question: Glad it worked well for you Matt. Unfortunately I decided to apply the second coat of KSG on a foggy day. Bad decision. Only let it dry for 15 minutes or so before buffing. It looked pretty good after the buffing, but after a day of dry weather and sun, I now see a thin film all over the car in the exact pattern that I applied it. Should I just wash again and re-buff? Let us know how it goes.
Strangely enough, a quick wash was enough to remove the streaking I caused with coat 2 of KSG. Very happy with the results. Thanks again! I park on a busy street and have to spray off at least once a week because of sediment build up. I waited a day between coats. After all this work, just last night, I purchased a DA polisher and some pads. If I look really closely in certain lighting conditions, I can see minor swirl marks in the paint even though otherwise the paint looks and feels really silky smooth and has nice glossy finish.
My question is, can I just polish off the 3 coats SG and continue to polish out the swirl marks and start over with a base of AIO and then coats of SG? I am concerned, maybe unjustifiably so, that the SG will prevent me from actually getting down to the swirl marks in the paint, possibly clogging my foam pads.
It might take longer to do the same amount of correction. Hope that helps! Thank you Ivan. It does help — a lot. I think I may have a solution. Other than fairly regular washing and waxing — probably with Turtle Wax and a dish cloth — its finish remains untouched but in need of swirl and fine to moderate scratch removal. The paint or clearcoat is somewhat faded, and obviously swirl free, so it would probably make a good starter project.
I purchased a new vehicle recently.
I have some Klasse SG that I want to use on it. I understand that it will be best to make sure there is no wax on it. Will using dishwashing liquid strip off what ever is on the paint now? Ronald, I like to use soaps made for cars, so I would say giving it a good wash with an aggressive soap meant for stripping wax would be good. This would ensure the paint is pretty clean of any oils, etc. Thanks so much for your article.
Worked like a charm! Since the car is not garaged, can I expect the KSG finish to last until fall? One more: Thanks again. Glad it helped Jenny! Hi Ivan—like your articles. Quick question: But i would like to add that third layer of KSG. Can i apply that third layer so many weeks later, or do I really need to go down to bare paint and start over? Hi David. Have 2 coats of KSG currently and am going for a third.
My question is this- is it necessary to topcoat with a good quality wax over KSG, or is periodic re application of KSG going to provide adequate paint protection without the addition of the wax topcoat. The vehicle is garaged and in Florida. Aside from personal preference, there really is no reason to apply any wax over KSG as KSG looks great and works great on its own. Great info, Ivan, thanks. Regarding your suggestion of an annual decontamination of the painted surfaces, are you suggesting the use of a clay bar, or some other procedure or product?
I really want to do the best by this finish as I plan to keep this ride for some time and am aware that black is a challenge to maintain. Maybe you need some IronX, but can still avoid clay bar. On the other hand, you might simply need to use clay bar or the autoscrub pads, then maybe do some light polishing before re-applying KSG for protection. Hope that explains it better. I would simply try to use a very fine polishing pad, such as a Lake Country crimson or black and just use KAIO with that on the Flex at speed 3.
Looks good. My question: That should be fine Ross. I just applied the Klasse Twins with five coats of the Sealant. My questions are: If I apply a carnauba wax over the top of the Klasse twins, in six months when I need to reapply the Klasse, will I have to start all over again with the Klasse AIO because carnauba wax was applied over the top of it?
Right now I have a haze swirly look to my Klasse. Is this something that will just wash off in the first washing? You can go either way. I would probably just say do a coat or two every months or as you see fit. I think the hazy swirls are just sealant residue. They look just like buffer trails in the sunlight. When I came home tonight I put some water on a towel and wiped over them on the whole hood. They were still there. I then dried it with a microfiber towel and the hazy swirls were gone.
I first clayed my car and followed your process. Glad it worked well for you Rolando. The Klasse sealant should last at least a few months, but due to many variables it can be months or it can be I have a brand new non-metallic X3 SAV for a week now. Should I clay it first or just apply sealant and then wait to cure and then wax. Or just sealant would be ok? What sealant do you think is the best? Thank you…please advise me what to do. Hey Ivan, thanks a lot for posting this. It was very helpful! I just did the whole process today on my car and it looks great.
Just have a question. I sprayed the pad with some quick detailer first just sprays , while using both Klasse products. Also, I used it in the last step, to buff the sealant. Thanks in advance! What would you recommend I do to remove the rail dust? Hi Ivan, I read most of the above and did not see any info concerning the use of Klasse sealant on wheels. I just purchased a set of rims with snow tires and want to protect them against brake dust and salt. How does the Klasse work for new wheels? Would several coats be better?
Are there other products available that have better longevity? Thanks for your time and Happy New Year, Bob. Any thoughts on this or mad I short changing myself? Thanks for this wonderful thread. Got me to thinking…. I would say just the sealant or possibly the AIO and then the sealant. Glad to hear the car turned out great!
I would advise staying away from using any quick detailer with a carnauba wax or cleaner wax in it because it just may alter the durability and performance of KSG. KSG works great on wheels and I would say coats should work very well.
I like a quick detailer simply for the added slickness not slickness left on the paint, but slickness during removal of KSG residue , but if water works well for you then great. I think both of those are great sealants and do the job well. Hi Ivan! I used this article when I first applied KSG to my car last year, and it was truly helpful! I was also thinking of diluting KSG with M34 1: Glad it helped you out last year! This time around, I would recommend something with no wax or cleaners because it may interfere with the KSG.
I would probably recommend simply using it as is to apply a couple layers, then after a few weeks you can top with whatever wax you wish. Thanks Ivan! Just read some articles on the dilution recently. Took your advice and used the AIO on three cars today. That is one great product! After using a clay bar, I was still able to pull more dirt from the paint with the AIO! One panel at a time with this procedure, and included the windows and headlights.
Hardly hazed but I still followed almost immediately with a clean microfiber like recommended and it was instantly smooth and shiny. The protection is not as good as the High Gloss Sealant Glaze which this article is about , but it is a great product on its own.
In any case, I would say you did a fine job either way and you may simply want to add a coat of KSG on top of what you already did for additional protection. I did read somewhere that application with a misted pad will help with the distribution of the AIO, pretty much the same as the procedure with KSG.
Hi Ivan. My car is about 8 months old and. I was happy with the shine but I believe they messed up the process. Is it possible to just apply a scratch remover on the scratched surfaces such as the panel and the roof? Will that be okay? May I know feedback? I live in a very hot country. Any tips when applying these in temperatures of between 95 to degrees Fahrenheit? Thank you Ivan and regards.
I never used KAIO mixed with water. Thank you for the quick response and inputs Ivan.
