Yeah, pick up the red bottle and also the grey bottle which is the Klasse High Gloss Sealant Glaze. Wax with the red bottle first. Then wax with the grey bottle second.

I've never used Klasse on my rims before, but I suppose you could. That's a new use for Klasse that I never thought of!! =) Be sure to clean your rims thoroughly before you apply the red and grey bottle of Klasse. You don't want any dirty particles on the rim scratching it up.

I use it on my wheels and I have close to no dust on my wheels after a week of driving. OK, I cheated and use Porterfield pads.

The Klasse all in one works great and even removes or fills in minor swirls if you keep up with it about once a month. It actually lasts a good 4 months but if you have a dark car the swirls bother me way before the wax wears off. Use a moist microfiber towel to put it on and another one to wipe it off. Do it in very small sections at a time and use very little. Wipe it off immediately.

The glaze I'm not crazy about. It's to liquidy and I don't see any better shine out of it or feel than with the all in one.

Young,

I'll take your Zaino -- maybe we can work a deal (just kidding). I use Klasse on my Acura TL and Zaino on my C230 coupe. I like the way Klasse looks on my dark emerald and I think Zaino looks better on the bordeaux coupe.

Yeah, you can. Apply Klasse first, it's good for 6 months. In the meantime, if you ever have the urge to wax, use whatever you want. I typically use Zymol. Klasse is an acrylic so it's going to stay on for the 6 months no matter what type of carnuba wax your going to put on top it.

just make sure the wax you apply has no cleaners in it. It must be a pure carnuba wax, otherwise if you use a cleaner wax it will strip off the klasse. Pinnacle souveran is awesome, but I don't have 70 bucks to drop on wax, so I use my 10 dollar meguiars #26
