Reflection and shine - Klasse

Here is what Vini looks like after a clay job, AIO and 2 coats of SG about a month ago. Today I washed with Sonus conditioning wash and applied Acrlylic Glanz. I'm pleased.

Very, very nice!!! I use Klasse, too....I've gotten unsolicited compliments from local club members. High praise coming from them!!! I've heard of people adding a coat of wax over Klasse, which is great, but I already out-bling every car for miles around. Don't want to cause accidents.

Thanks guys! I'm satisfied with the Klasse thus far, but we will see if it actually lasts the claimed 6 months on a car which has a 70 mile/day commute and never sees a garage.

I put Klasse on my 05 PS/B back in November. AIO and one coat of SG. It was still beading in April. It lasted the winter and biweekly trips to the laser car wash. Used some sonus glanz and waited till June to clay and redo aio and a coat of sg. mine was garaged during the winter, but it seemed like I was always driving the MINI after they plowed and salted the roads.

Lesson learned. Don't clay outside in November. At least not when it's in the 40s or lower. You still can clay, but the clay bar is like a rock from sitting in the cold; you have to keep it warm to keep it pliable.

Anyway, since June, I've been keeping the MINI outside at night. Lots more dust and pollen. Still beads.
