Klasse

Extremely nice results! Tell me, which Klasse products do you use? I'm only familiar with one product that I've seen in the Herrington catalogue. If I remember correctly, they have carried it for years.

I used klasse All-in-one and Klasse Sealant glaze. I used the AIO 3 times to remove the haze cause by the 3M SMR I used to remove the swirls. Then I layered it with 4 coats of klasse sealant glaze to enhance the shine. It also has swirl filling abilities that are often overlooked. After each coat of SG I can see my swirls slowly dissapearing. I had little to begin with because I used 3M SMR, but there are still some light ones left in certain light. Many choose to top their klasse finish with their favorite carnuba wax, such ace Pinnacle Paste Glaze and Pinnacle Souveran are very good choices. I have yet to experiment but plan to soon!

Check out this website Double D
http://store.yahoo.com/classic-motoring/

They carry klasse and an abundance of other products. Make sure to pick up some micro fiber towels too!! I recommend buying the klasse-sonus kit for 69 dollars. Includes all you need and more to use the klasse system. Good luck!

I used to use Meguiars products, but I became unsatisfied because I would spend 4 hours making the polish and carnuba waxes look perfect. Then After 4 weeks you have to do it all over again. Klasse will last at least 6 months when applied correctly. Great stuff!!

Here is a pic when I used meguiars.

Looks great! That's a deep shine. Did you do all this by hand or did you use an orbital buffer? If you didn't use an orbital buffer you ought to think about it. Really takes out the swirls and doesn't take near the time and effort. And no, it's almost impossible if not impossible to burn the paint.
