Quick Detailers okay for Klasse? (Ron K.)

[kreativ]

I've heard of people using Quick Detailers instead of water to dampen applicators for applying Klasse AIO. It's in the CMA applicaiton guide for Klasse. This is supposed to make it easier to smooth Klasse over the paint.
Would any of the components inside of a Quick Detailer (eg silicone) interefere with the curing/crosslinking of Klasse?

I've never seen a reasonable explanation for using QD to "apply" Klasse. I have heard of it being used to aid removal, which certainly doesnt hurt the bonding process.

Why not be safe, use the water its cheaper and IMHO works better.

Only the carnuba QDs are a factor here. I used Eagle 1 the first time I applied my AIO and Sg.

For applying I noticed it help spread it further.

I used it for SG the first time, but am looking forward to trying it without the next time. I recently applied SG over BF, it went on very nicely and was a breeze coming off (no QD). Different than over AIO.

I agree with High Noon, water is just fine to use when applying klasse.

A slightly moistened applicator (with water) is certainly fine. A very lightly sprayed applicator (with EO's quick detailer, or Final Inspection) is also ok. But why bother using a quick detailer when you can just use good old H2O.

Thanks for the replies. I'm going to be using water to dampen the applicator, but was curious whether the use of Quick Detailer to dampen the applicator pad was a safe practice or not. It makes sense that the lubrication provided by the quick detailers would make wiping on the Klasse easier.

No problem. Just make sure not to use a quick detailer that has carnauba in it. It's best to play it safe that way as carnauba may hinder the bonding ability of Klasse. Laters
