My PIAA Ion Crystal fog lights are a yellow-green mix, not shown well on the pictures. Also, the HID beam is more of a bluish white.

Awww, shucks... Thanks :p



I`m ashamed of the WRX emblem pic though. I took that before I brushed off the wax residue... WHOOPS! :nixweiss

[JasonC8301]

I second Lynn! Looks great



Forget giving him a diploma, take my Ph.D lol j/k

[chris0626]

Aw shucks, you`re so generous, Dr. Jason. :D

[imported_dookiebob]

Thanks man... I appreciate it :D



I just did a S100 topper this time after a Meguiar`s GC wash. I have 2x AIO and 2x SG on there underneath.



One of these days, I may break down and try Zaino, but the Klasse twins + S100 are a mighty good combo. I have all the residents of Autopia to thank for that awesome setup...



:xyxthumbs

[JasonC8301]

LOL, nice one Lynn :)



Well if you are ever in NYC area, shoot me a PM. I got Zaino, can try it on a panel if you like.



Klasse is great also though.



As with K and Z, and any other sealant, paint prep is paramount.

The set up you have is great!

[chris0626]

Hey, why mess with success?? Prep and Klasse +S100 are obviously working for you. :up



Little question -- since I own but have not yet used Klasse: I thought I`d read that AIO is a cleaner, so doing AIOx2 just means you clean off the 1st layer of AIO when you apply the 2nd layer. What was your experience? Could you save yourself some labor by just doing 1 layer of AIO?

[JasonC8301]

Lynn

AIO is a cleaner. A second application was probably done to clean the surface a little more and provide a nice base for SG.



Want to know a little secret I like with AIO? PM me.

[imported_dookiebob]

Jason, thanks for the offer. I may take you up on that sometime, as I take I-278 through Staten Island to see my GF in Brooklyn Heights.



Lynn, AIO is IMO more than a cleaner. I have used it on vehicles by itself and have seen some good protection (4 months on my mom`s Tahoe with one coat). However, the only reason I use 2 coats is because SG seems to stick better when I use 2 coats. It`s also easier to put on and take off with 2x AIO.



I know Jngrbrdman will disagree with the AIO as protection, but I`ve seen it work well on my Mom`s neglected vehicle. At the end of 4 months, the surface still looked pretty good and water sheeted off pretty well. I just added another coat of AIO and so far, the vehicle looks better than ever.

Just wanted to say that is one best WRX`s ive seen. Very classy, yet sporty. Love the JDM approach and the Linux wheels

[schwantz]

The car looks great. I`ve had very good luck with Zaino on my black S4. By the way I was born and raised in the Germantown section of Philly.
