I used to do that, that's how I got these fantastic forearms, hehe. Seriously though I found that you almost use nothing and get the same protection as if you slob it on.

Re: Match prices?

I've tried Klasse and I just got the Ultima exterior kit. With out a doubt Ultima is far superior, looks, ease of use, durability. Dont waste your time on Klasse.

Re: Match prices?

Klasse is old news. Ultima is a much better way to go. Although it seems pricey, in the end it is actually the most cost effective sealant out there because a little really goes a long way. The 12oz bottle can last several months to years.

Re: Match prices?

I totally agree. Ultima is so good, that I may just sell my Zaino products.

With the sampler being 40% off, you can't go wrong. I have done our two cars twice, including windows and trim, and the sealant bottle still looks completely full. And I can't believe how great the cars look. Just amazing.

Re: Match prices?

In regards to the comments of Klasse (or any traditional cream based products) vs. Ultima, it is not possible to compare the two. The amount of polymer (per application) in a traditional cream product is a fraction of what you apply in one application of Ultima. You simply cannot compare them on ounces or price.

One 4 oz bottle of Ultima will treat 14 to 18 cars (we say 15). That makes it $2.33 per application. A premium applicator is included. A single treatment protects for 4-6 months (conservatively). It takes about 10 minutes to apply.

One 16.8 oz. bottle of Klasse SG ($28) will treat 16-20 cars (we'll call it 18). You will need two microfiber applicators, at a cost of about $5, plus the bottle costs about $3 more to ship (average). You will also need two nice buffing towels to buff off the dry film. An application of Klasse SG last 60 to 90 days (conservatively). It takes about an hour to apply. Total cost is $2.00 per application.

While the final cost per application is close to the same, the Ultima is actually much less expensive because it lasts twice as long and takes much less time to apply (time is money). So, while it is easy to look at the small bottle and make a judgment call that the product costs too much, in reality, it's the other way around (less is more!).

Agree! It's what I was trying to communicate, but could not explain it as clearly as you did. So in the end, Ultima produces better results and it is more cost effective. UPGP pays for itself. I much rather pay for UPGP than to pay "less" for one bottle of another sealant (Zaino included) that will require more applications and that will run out faster, which in the end is actually more expensive. Ultima rocks!
