It really depands on how much you love your car inlove.gif . Washing should be done on a weekly basis if possible, claying only when required, polishing maybe 3-4 times a year, waxing or sealant at least once a month. How does this sound to you wink.gif ?

i thot wax every week?? laugh.giflaugh.giflaugh.gif

Last step should be wax. If you polik again... [dizzy]

 

 

Me confuse again [dizzy] ... I always thought that polish = wax...

 

So the Turtlewax Platinum Ultra Gloss wax I currently have is a wax right? Then what should I use as a polish?

 

Super blur now.... [dead]

I'm also blur already...

After hearing of so many stories about the use of sealant, I bought the first the Autoglym resin sealant. I remembered reading that it is to be used after polishing... but u guys are telling mi its the other way round. Am I wrong? But usually when u apply the sealant, its oil base... and when I use a cloth to do it manually, there is usually unevenness.

 

My fortnightly regime is usually this

 

1) Wash

2) Shampoo with polyglaze

3) waxcon tar removal or autoglym B1 to remove sturborn stains...I have lots of tar stains and my car is white

3)polish with soft99

4)then use autoglym sealant

 

Is this correct? Would someone enlightment me

 

There is another qn.

I have alot of black stains/spots on my car,these spots have turned like orangy in colour and like 'implanted" in my paint work when u run your hands over them they are smooth!!!... anyway of removing them?

 

The other qn I would like to ask u detailing gurus is that is claying that good??? where do I purchase a clay bar? Cose my car is usually park outdoors and I work in construction.

For your question about the orangy spot, I had that before too. I used "AURI" to clean it off. It contains petroluem distillates, which I think is sort of a cleaner. Gurus here, please correct me on this if I am wrong.

 

All I did is to just apply a little on it and just wipe off. very easy [thumbsup] . I think any polish/wax containing cleaners will do the job fine.

 

Polish and wax. Can someone tell me the difference?

 

Where to get claybar?

Autobacs etcs will have.

Hi Klasse Lover and expert!!!

 

When you apply AIO and sealant on the car body, how you apply it? circular motion or one straight line across?

 

I am using some of Megauirs and Autoglym grooming too. Do u think will it have any conflict?

 

Currently, I have bit of swirls marks all over, especially the roof..... [sweatdrop]

 

Please advise....

 

regards...

Hi Diamond2006

 

The swirl marks are because the wrong way of circular motion during your washing, drying

and waxing.

 

I apply AIO in one straight line motion. Once you use AIO, it sure remove all other

products on the surface. AIO content chemical cleaner and it also can remove light

swirl marks.....etc.

Bro Toalson,

 

That is the main reason I use Klasse products. NO CURING TIME NO WAITING,

just wipe on then wipe off. Easier than car wash [laugh]

 

The only curing time is when you prepare to layer the Klasse Sealant.

Usually I wait for 12-24 hours to apply the additional layer.

 

To be more clear :

 

1. wash

2. clay

3. drying

4. AIO (no curing need)

5. KSG (no curing need)

 

If need to layer KSG then wait for 12-24 hours.
