Here in upstate NY, winter is just around the corner. I`m looking to use Klasse "All-In-One" as my protection over the winter.
Does anyone know if there`s a temperature limit as to using the All-In-One? Hopefully Saturday will be in the 50`s so it shouldn`t be a problem, but I just thought I`d ask.
If I don`t get it this weekend, I`m afraid we`ve seen the last 50 degree days around here for a couple of months.

AIO would be a great base for most anything, but it will not last the winter by itself.

I just finished my winterization today. Klasse AIO topped with Megs NXT. It was about 50 here by me and I have to say the AIO was okay.....not the easiest but okay.
In hindsight I Megs #3 Machine Polish would have been easier, but I feel I get better longevity from the NXT when AIO is the base

AIO is easiest when used very thin then wiped off right away
I like it with a polishing pad around speed 3

AIO will not last that long by itself. I highly recommend topping it with a couple layers of sealant if your plan is to ignore the car until spring.

You might want to try topping AIO with some SG.

I`ve used AIO in 35 degree temperatures with no problems. You definitely should top it with a sealant or durable wax like Collinite 845.

I should really winterize mine this weekend but its looking so nice I dont ant o strip of the WG, Nattys Blue and RMG on there and go back to the AIO, AG EGP base :(
I just want to go out and add another coat of wax
Does anyone think I will be ok with WG, Nattys Blue and Souveran and maintain with OCW after washing on a garged, weekend use only car that will stay inside if the weather is bad?

I think you`ll be fine Rich, as long as you continue to add OCW during the winter.
I felt the same way about my UPP?Paste Glaz combo, but I have a whole lot of salt/sand to deal with here in the winter, so I wanted to make sure I had a durable wax on, in case I wasn`t able to wash the salt off for several days. I hope that is never the case.

Cheers Paul, have one more event to go to so am not going to change anything till then.
I`m giving mine the `prewinter treatment` in the next couple of days. It`s going to be NXT paste X2 followed by Collinite Insulator X2

this weekend I clayed the car, then used scratch X and final coat poorboys EX-P. I only use the clay - scratchx combination twice a year. I plan on adding another coat ex-p next weekend

Sealant topped with Collinite 476S x 2. The 845 is a great choice, but the 476S will outlast it.
