Question for Klasse users

In May, I coated my car with AIO and one coat of the sealant glaze. If I want to re-apply AIO and sealant, should I strip with Dawn first or just wash normally and then begin the Klasse process? Should I just re-seal? TIA.

No need to strip with Dawn. There are no old contaminating waxes to remove. The solvents and cleaners in AIO are all that is needed for proper adhesion on the previous KSG and AIO.

I would suggest you clay before you AIO for a superior slick finish. It will improve the results tremendously.

Wash normally.
Use the suds from the wash as lube to clay.
Dry with a microfiber waffleweave.
Use AIO.
Use SG, if desired.

Thanks Brad, I was hoping you'd reply!

I wasn't planning on claying this time, but the MINI is so small that I may just go for it.

Do it! You can clay the MINI in 30 minutes. It's very fast.
