There is a thread right below this on applying AIO, here is the link:Link to AIO. (http://www.autopia.org/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=44843)



Also, member Bill North has a method he uses to apply SG that you may find useful, here is a link to that: Link to Bill North`s SG method. (http://www.autopia.org/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=30989&highlight=official+wipe+on+off)

I have pictures of my Lunar Mist Metallic Solara but it has Natty`s topping the SG. The pictures are in my gallery.

I had a silver car showdown with mtodde on Sunday and the pics are at the lab being scanned into digital. If they turn out well I will post them on Thursday.



Todd`s car has AIO and a layer of Pinnacle Signature and it looked damn good. My car was P21S after a light GEPC.

Todd said he is likely coming to Hilton Head for Thanksgiving. I`ll be sure to have a fresh layer (or two) of Natty`s on my car, LOL.

Thanks Lee! That means a lot coming from a fellow Autopian! I can`t wait to see the pics of our cars reflecting off each other. I`m glad you liked the Signature enough to buy it; you`ll love it.



TW85, I should have VM + EX-P x 2 by then and maybe a coat of Signature to boot when I`m down there at Thanksgiving. I`ll probably be down that Monday or Tuesday. I`m planning to start with the VM & 1st coat of EX-P the weekend of October 23rd. Your pics were so polished & professional looking compared to mine; hopefully Lee`s pics will bring me up to that level. I may have to get you to take a few pics while I`m down there @ Thanksgiving.



NavindraLR, your car really looks wet!

I applied Klasse twins to my dad`s 2002 Park Avenue two weeks ago and really liked the result.



The request, though, was for pictures. I took some but they didn`t show anything. Sure they show reflection, but just what is it that photos - taken in low resolution for internet use - of a newly done car supposed to show?



I`m not trying to be a jerk about this--I really don`t understand and am trying to learn. I see photos all over this site. The ones that are used to show defects seem to work out well...and help others to make suggestions. The ones of nice cars...I could tell they were nice...but what should I be seeing other than that?



My photos showed reflection, but the car showed reflection after it was washed ...before I shook a bottle. The difference after I was finished was depth and smooth finish and so forth...nothing that the photos revealed..except after the polishing and sealing it was easier to see the OEM orange peel !

Here is my Mustang GT show car with Klasse AIO/SG applied by hand, with a P21S topper. This is by far the best combination that I have used.

This gives you several angles, both vertical and horizontal panels.



I hope it helps.

And here is my daily driver with Klasse AIO and SG, and Megs #16 as a topper.

Again, I highly recommend this combination.

Just a preview of some pictures coming up from the Silver Car Showdown...this is mtodde`s Solara as photographed by my Nikon. AIO followed by Pinnacle Signature. PB Bold N Bright on the tires. Beautiful!

Well said. Every time I see an after picture I wonder if I`m missing something that you folks aren`t. They all look like nice, clean, shiny, detailed cars. It`s impossible to distinguish the results of well-applied products by looking at an internet picture, or in my opinion, any picture.



Now, getting back on topic, I have a Millennium Silver Metallic Lexus with 2 layers of SG over AIO, and it looks as shiny as any of the pictures above. If you decide to apply the Klasse twins, you may also want to brew some booster "wax" by diluting one part of SG in five parts of water. I use that solution like a WAUD after every wash and it brings back the original SG slickness. Good luck.
