Unhappy Can't get rid of swirl marks after Klasse waxing

I tried waxing my car with Klasse high gloss sealant for the first time and after I tried to take it off, I had these swirl marks that I couldn't take off no matter what. I followed exactly what it said to do. Apply a thin coat, wait and then wipe off. Any suggestions?

I dont think klasse sg will remove swirls, you should get yourself a true swirl remover/polish.

As Moodist has stated Klasse Sealant Glaze is not an abrasive product and therefore will not remove surface imperfections (swirl marks, spider webbing) you will need to use an abrasive (grade will depend on how heavy the surface scratches are) polish. Use a 1:1 Isopropyl alcohol /distilled water solution to clean the surface and then apply a polish.

Ok I thought the swirl marks were from the wax itself but I guess you guys are saying it's something else? So the wax just brought out the swirl marks more? How about the Klasse All in One cleaner? Will that work?

Sg is nothing but a protectant which brings out some gloss. It wont fill in any swirls. The AIO has some cleaners in it, and may make things better, so its worth a shot. If its not enough, you need to go to a polish with a little more cut to it. 2 good ones are 3M's Swirl Mark Remover, and Meguiar's Dual Action Cleaner Polish.

If I understand the original post, the swirls are FROM the Klasse SG. They were not there before the application of the SG.

I too have had this happen on my car, and Klasse AIO will remove these swirls. This is because the cleaner in the AIO will remove the SG you just put on. Or, you can just wait a week and the swirls will come off naturally or at the time of your next wash (in my experience).

I am no longer using the SG because of this. Now I just put a layer of AIO on a (very) clean car and let it sit for a day, or overnight. Then, I apply the carnauba over it (P21S) and just sit back and enjoy the protection and shine.

Good Luck.

The sealant will actually magnify the swirls. So if you got em. it'll just make em look worse.
