Sonus QD is "the ticket" for KSG!!!

[NHBFAN]

After my first experience with KSG I was pretty disappointed. I found KSG very hard to work with, and wasn't overly thrilled with my results.

But, today after applying AIO x 1, I applied a thin coat of KSG aftering spritizng my applicator with Sonus. I let it dry for 30 minutes then I removed it with Sonus.

What a simple process and what a shine! Hope to follow with 2nd and 3rd coats this weekend.

Hope the Sonus isn't removing too much KSG!

Try using a damp MF to do the initial SG removal, then QD the whole car with the Sonus to get the final shine. You'll wind up using less Sonus (which is expensive) and probably get a better shine in the end.

Just a note, I remove SG with distilled water. Works great and is incredibly cheap... I've actually tried spritzing the applicator with it this last time I SG'd my wheels. It worked well, but I'll reserve judgement until I try it on bodywork.

Sonus will not remove any of your KSG. If you're having trouble applying KSG, it's a simple matter of applying too much. Use a terry cloth or microfiber applicator to apply KSG, not foam. Apply no more than a dime-size dab at a time, which will be enough KSG to wax an entire fender or door (3 to 4 square foot area). If you have more than a whisper of film to wipe off, you have applied too much KSG.

Use a good buffing towel to remove your KSG. Some people remove it right away, others allow it to sit for a while. Do whatever is easier for you. Both methods work just fine.

Want to make KSG even easier to apply? Mix 75% KSG with 25% Sonus Spritz in a fine mist spray bottle (a 4 oz bottle works best) and skake well. Spray two shots of the KSG/Sonus mixture on your applicator and apply to your paint. It will go on thinner and easier than ever, and removal is a breeze. DO NOT spray directly on your paint.

Thanks for the tips DavidB

2 questions:

1. Does a microfiber applicator allow you to use less product?

2. Why don't you want to spray the KSG + Sonus mixture directly on your paint?

I find very little difference in KSG application between MF and cotton terry cloth applicators.

The reason you don't spray it is the same reason you use a terry cloth applicator: you want a thin film.

Very interesting. Definitely something I got to try out!

Sounds intersting considering I am about to use this stuff for the first time. So is it better to let it dry or wipe off before it dries?

Thanks for the tips David. I'll definately try them out.

I tried the damp MF route. It's pretty good, but not as easy as using Sonus.

I know it's going to be more expensive using Sonus, but I still should get 10+ coats of KSG with one bottle of Sonus.

Wished you could buy Sonus in bigger bottles.
