i have 2-3 layers of klasse (some parts were stripped for scratch reduction) on my car. how many layers do you guys generally do before you top? i`m planning on using souveran as a topper, but don`t want to do it too early before the sg is done right.



also, souveran must have some scratch filling properties right? i`m wondering because the last layer of klasse seems to have a very slight swirl in it.

I had 12 on before I decided to try the topper. I really liked working with the SG and didn`t want to stop putting it on. I also had my Blitz staring at me waiting to get a try.



Saw a swirl pattern as well, a couple of times. A little QD and a MF towel took care if it.

I would say that 5 coats is enough. I had over a dozen when I stopped. I think I had like 15 on or something. I honestly lost count. I was having too much fun with SG I think. :D Souveran is a great topper but it doesn`t do much for scratches. Maybe a little tiny bit but if it fills any scratches then it will be temporary. Souveran needs to be reapplied every 4 or 5 weeks. It isn`t the longest lasting stuff on the planet but it sure does look nice! :up

I agree on 5 layers, Klasse`s looks seems to peak there. You can keep going if you want though.

A minimum of 3 must be done in my opinion. And for best results, anywhere between 5-7 should give you awesome results.

My 20 year old P-car looks beautiful. One top coat with carnauba (used Griot`s and then Souveran), and a weekly splash with the washer/wax makes it look freshly detailed.

I`d say stop when you feel that the next layer you put on doesn`t seem to enhance the shine. This should be in the 4-6 range.

I can`t see much improvement beyond 4 coats.
