Heck why not just rub yogurt into your paint? Mix in some souveran and it`ll be just as good as Eurosport says! :rolleyes:

Souveran? Zymol?



Both overpriced waxes :D



I`m a man with Klasse!



I`m doing this to compare Klasse SG to a carnauba.

Zaino need for Klasse around here...... you drive an F150 afterall..... give it what it deserves!! Zaino doubt about it!! ;) :p

My truck likes Klasse better. He told me that when I was driving it today :D

I top it with Griot`s Paste Carnuba. Looks shinier than just the AIO/SG. :cool:



The stuff goes on easy but the removal is a pain -- My gut tells me that it will "endure". The vendor claims it to be 35% carnuba content, and that it will last for three months. After four washes/four weeks in the sunny South Florida sun, it still looks freshly detailed. (I bought some Souveran, but won`t even get to try it until it looks like it needs it.)

I notice when cleaning the fuel door and inside housing, various brushes are used with soap. My question is how is that area rinsed clean? Is it ok to run a hose on light pressure assuming the water will drain out somehow?

[imported_gewb]

Yup, that`s how I do it.

Yes, I personally clean this area out with brushes, and whatever it takes to get any type of oily stain from gasoline out, and then make sure the cap is on tight, and flood the area with water until it is clean water.
I follow it up with a good blast from my leaf blower to get all big water out and leave the door open for awhile.
As you have noticed, some vehicles have a drain hole, some drain holes are plugged up, and some have no drain hole at all.

I do it that way as well.

[imported_RaskyR1]

Yep, I rinse with water and then blow out with air on a lot of cars.
