I think KSG needs time to cure, but does KAIO need time to cure as well?

I believe my bottle states that no curing is needed.

I do the whole car before I buff off as a whole but there is no waiting time last I recall.

Sorry to bring up an old thread, but trying to find out how long should Klasse SG be applied after AIO?



Can I apply it right after or next day?



Also, anyone have a link for the Bill North Method - I`ve seen the page before but can`t find it anywhere this time.



Thanks in advance.

I love Autopia... I just finished applying AIO, come back to the computer and have the answer.



Thanks elk42!



Nice day here today... 20 degrees and skies are cloudy - perfect for Klasse!

i love klasse still, even though i moved on to zaino for curiousity.



and the longer you let KSG dry, the easier it will be to remove - apply thin also, i let it dry overnight.

Dry overnight? Some say to apply it the Wipe On Wipe Off method (for easy application)



If you leave it overnight isn`t it super tough to remove the excess?



btw, I love the AIO effect so far.

Is it as simple as applying the sealant and wiping it off with a lightly damp MF towel after about 2 minutes?

i guess it`s a personal preference, some like WOWO - but I like it to sit overnight - kinda like marinating it in the paint, never an issue with removal. remember to apply it thin. :xyxthumbs



didn`t bill get banned? :nervous:

Not sure if Bill got banned.



Well, I applied the glaze with the HandJobber - awesome product - so much easier than doing it with a sponge applicator and I was able to spread it so thin that it`s hard to see where it`s applied until you look real close. Would this be a problem - perhaps I may be buffing it too much taking off most of the product in the process?



Also, every time I put the SG on the applicator I would mist the applicator with a Mothers QD - is that ok?



Well, I`ll give it about an hour to cure on the car and then take it off.

How do you like Zaino? Do you use Z2?

it okay to use a QD to help with the SG, i did it all the time -



i am digging Zaino, it`s quite good - but all those steps is tiring. i brought the basically the whole line :clap: just finished up on my bmw today and s40 yesterday

Klasse AIO doesn`t need any cure time IMO, I apply wax over it immediately. Klasse SG does require cure time, depending on who you talk to, 12 - 24 hours, I think the box itself says over night or something like that.

The little bit of "protection" (scare-quotes intentional ;) ) in KAIO that might benefit from curing are of such little consequence you`d never know the diff anyhow IMO.



As for the W-O-W-O technique (which I use when applying both the Klasse twins to textured black plastic), I don`t even wait 2 minutes. Pretty much just on-then-off. Seems to compromise the durability just a little but makes for a more uniform appearance on the plastic surfaces.

Nice Collection! How many steps does Zaino need?



P.S. Finished First coat of SG today and I`m quite impressed so far.... nice and slick. I didn`t find it so hard taking it off (used QD again to help out ;)
