My 06' RRP is a little over 2 years old and in the next two months I plan to do some more serious detailing. About every 6 months I've been doing Klasse AIO and Four Star UPP. I've started to notice some very minor swirls and a few fine scratches, so I plan to get a PC 7424 and orange, white and red pads.

I really like the UPP, so was wondering what other FS products use with the PC. I was thinking about this:

• FS Scratch & Swirl Mark Remover with an orange pad
• FS Final Polish Spray with an white pad
• Klasse AIO with a red pad (or just by hand)
• FS UPP by hand

Any comments?

I think what you have is pretty good but I would make some changes as per my regimen.

• FS US&SMR with an orange pad (only use the orange pad if the white pad doesn't work for you)
• Optimum Polish with a white/red pad
• FS UPP by hand or red pad on a PC at speed 4

It's also notable to try out the Einszett 1Z polishes as they are great products from what I hear. I'm not sure how they compare to FS but I'm sure Patrick could chime in on that.

Great technique Denzil. I too, would also skip the AIO as it serves no purpose after you have polished anyway. I may clean up some polishing oils but most sealants are compatible with most polishes (Optimum, FS).
einszett polishes are wonderful to say the least. The Paint Polish and Metallic Polish are both excellent for light/med wash/dry induced swirls and offer average protection for AIO's. I wouldnt hesitate to cover up what einszett leaves behind with the Glanz wax, another great (near UPP) sealant.
FS polishes are my second fav next to Optimum. Either choice is a hit.

So should I just save the Klasse for between-polish detailing or do I even need it at all? And how different are Optimum Polish from the FS US&SMR?

Yeah, you can use Klasse for cleaning up your paint of your LSP, doing very slight/minimal paint correction, or a small layer of protection (not really all that much to be honest). You're always better off layering a real LSP on top of your KAIO.
