I plan on applying p21s on top of my klausse this weekend and was wondering.....Do I remove it w/ QD? and How many coats should I apply? any tips to applying it would help thanks.



Also do I put down thick or thin layers of p21s?

No, you don`t need to use a quick detailer to buff out the P21 carnauba wax. Use thin layers and apply it with foam. Laters.

Don`s right on, as usual. The P21S will go on and off like butter. And it won`t leave any white residue on your trim. Bee`s wax base I believe. Enjoy!

Just to add to what Bill and Don said...don`t let the P21s dry for very long. Apply it to half of a door, or a quarter of the hood or roof---and then immediately begin buffing it off...it comes off very easily that way.

The state where football is..., well this year it was depressing...

Just a pure amateur who will gladly try to learn from those more experienced.

Over 35 years ago, I worked in a full service gas station and did make ready clean-up on used cars for a nearby dealership. Since then, I have tried to keep my cars always looking good. I used to hand compound with the old red and white paste compounds and I had a low speed rotary buffer with a wool bonnet for polishing up after a good coat of wax.

Every 5-10 years I decide to learn a bit more and try to upgrade my tools and knowledge and now the internet is making that much easier and quicker.

I`ve been using clay followed by Klasse AIO and Glaze and then Hi Tech Yellow for a number of years now but with three new dark cars in the last year, most recent being black, I decided its time to get more into swirl removal and polishing.

Bought a g110v2 and a starter set of Lake Country pads and added some products to my shelf - nothing too dangerous I think - and am ready to start practicing on the oldest cars first. I plan to start with very light polishes and work up to more aggressive ones (not all in the same place, I think) to start to get a feel for how each works and what results are.

I`ve done pretty good at spot work on light scratches and even on applying touch-up paint with fine wet sanding by hand in the past so I`m looking forward to having the current array of vehicles looking really fine, pretty soon.

I know I`ll need to get a few more aggressive pads and maybe a smaller backing plate but I think I have enough to start getting used to the g110v2 for now.

Thanks in advance to all here.
