What wax did you use before? What didn't you like about it? What wax did you try?

It looks nice.

I used Crystal Glo this time.

It's easy to apply and easy to remove.

Oops - not a wax, but a paint treatment

Never heard of them. I've tried Raindance, Mothers, TurtleWax, etc... I never bought really good stuff because we didn't have a really nice car. Now it's a different story.

I'm reading the bottle... oops - it's a paint treatment.

Sorry, that was an inside joke...But all joking aside, Pinnacle is actually a pretty popular enthuisast product line. All the products you mentioned are all off the shelf brands.

I just used Klasse All-in-one yesterday on my wife's suv. VERY impressed with is and its ease of use. Now I need to get the Klasse SG and finish it off...

Hmmm, thought I mentioned it several times over the year or so I've been here

Maybe if I actually had made it to a meet, you would have known

Actually, don't waste your money on the Klasse Sealant Glaze (improvement is very minimal in my opinion). After using the Klasse AIO, wax your car with the P21S Carnauba Wax (a bit expensive), you will get much better results!

Im not really looking for improvement in gloss, but longevity, which SG provides.

I use S100 as a topper. Its exactly the same as P21S at half the price.

^^ I agree. You may not notice the difference with only one coat, but numerous applications over time of the glaze will show results. I recommend the glaze at least every 3 or 6 months, depending on how you like your car to look.

Everytime you use that AIO, you are taking off everything you have put on the car. Not sure you knew that or not. You should use AIO and then glaze, followed by a few coats of P21S/ S100. It'll shine like you've never seen a shiny car before.

Yea, knew about AIO and its cleaners.

Carnaubas arent layerable, so doing several coats are a waste of product.

I've heard people say this and its a myth/BS. Klasse AIO couldnt have been any easier to apply with a PC. Wipes off very easy and its residue free. And, one layer of it brought up a great shine.

Now, SG might be a different story...Havent tried it yet...

SG is a bit harder, cause the glaze can leave streaks, so you have to look for it and be sure you have gotten all the streaks off. Not too big a deal, you just gotta put a little ass in it, buffing that is.
