I've been using KSG since I first found this site, look at my join date to see how long that's been (back when the hot combo was AIO/KSG/Blitz wax)

. Last fall I got a new car and got all excited and back into detailing products.....PC, SSR polishes, FK1 stuff, etc. so much new stuff that people think I'm obsessive. As if I wasn't before....

I still come back to the KSG as the base due to it's durability. I usually apply it with a mf sponge, wetted with water and wrung out as best I can with my hands. That makes it much easier to apply a thin, thin layer. I think the drying time on KSG all depends on humidity/weather. If it's a 65 degree day with low humidity, it'll buff off easy after 20 minutes of sitting, if it's a 80 degree day and 60% humidity, it might take an hour or more to dry to come off easy. You sorta just learn how to tell.

The biggest thing I've found to make KSG come off easy is using a WW mf to buff it off. I'm enamored with the Sonus WW buffing towels:

These suckers will buff the KSG off like you wouldn't believe over a normal mf. Anyway, once you figure out KSG, it's not scary at all to use......of course my bottle is getting low and I'll be trying out some of the Werkstatt products next. I think it'll take a lot to replace durability of the AIO/KSGx3/Blitz wax combo I slap on before winter. Since it's now summer though, it's all about looks and less to do with durability, so we'll see what I can come up with using all the new stuff I got like RMG, Pink Wax, FX 100, and the soon to arrive Werkstatt products. Damn, I love spring/summer!
