Still a Klasse fan

I know most of you guys here are uber fans of Prima and Zaino... but I am still old school (for me at least) with my polishes. Just wanted to show you guys how good a Cooper S can look with something other than Zaino or Prima... and no, I refuse to be lazy and just use hydro! LOL.

Apologies for pics from my Blackberry, better ones to come tomorrow from my SLR.

Enjoy

Nice and shiny

Is it the camera quality, or, is the paintwork on that slightly rippled, almost like orange peel?

If it is old school it is still a very good school.
Very nice work.

You also bring out a good point that there are many solutions for making your car look great. I like Prima but I also like Megs. Both get me where I want to be.

Now go drive the beauty around and blind some people with the reflection.

you're wasting your time. Hydro can make your car look just as good without all the work.

nice job. i only used Griot's Best of Show on my MCS when i had it. that's all i use on my G too.

Hydro is not the end all.......it is not even as nice as the Zaino Z6.

Klasse is a great product!

I like to use Klasse All in One as a base, followed by Klasse Sealant Glaze. I apply those about once every 3-4 months.
To top the klasse off, I apply a nice coat of S100 carnuba, reapplying about every month or so. I originally used the S100 on my Triumph, but realized it went on so easy and buffed out even easier that it should be a breeze on the MINI.... and it was.

Gluck!
