Noting that I've never used the Gloss-It stuff, I don't know if I'd try the yellow pad first

Or maybe the green and *then* the white. I would *NEVER* expect the orange, let alone the yellow, pads to leave a ready-to-wax finish and even the green ones usually leave a finish that could still be improved upon (although we did get by OK with the green when those were all you could get). Yeah, that's just a rehash of what I posted previously but you still seem inclined to expect the yellow pads will leave a ready-to-wax finish and that's simply unrealistic. Even on the hardest clear, orange/yellow pads simply don't leave that nice a finish; it might look OK to some people, but once you've refined it with something more gentle it'll look a whole lot better.

..and then the klasse? i guess im just kind of confused on all the steps?

I suggest you do your best to figure everything out before you try it. Have clear expectations so you'll realize if/when something is/isn't working right.

You'll need at least one milder combo follow-up after whatever combo you use for the aggressive correction. (OK OK that's the last time I'll say that.)

Aggressive combo then milder combo. Then maybe an *even milder* combo. (OK, that really *is* the last time...) Then the KAIO. Then the KSG. I wouldn't do the Klasse via machine but then again themightytimmah said it worked OK for him (if it does *NOT* work OK for you, well, told ya so ).

Don't switch to the KAIO until the finish is as close to perfect as you want it.

I'd be hesitant to top the KSG until you get plenty of layers on there, and FWIW I don't top it at all as I'd rather just add more from time to time.
