Guess my process

[Chuckmotor]

I`m doing it. I`m conforming to the Autopian ways. I finally ordered myself some Klasse AIO and SG (thanks to the group buy!), and I have a couple application questions.



1) Do I apply AIO like a polish? Can I apply AIO with the PC and work on small sections at a time, buffing off as I go?



2) How long should I let the SG dry before buffing? Cure before putting on a second layer?



Also, I will be needing to do some swirl removing polish work. Here`s the plan:

FI-II

#9 SMR 2.0

AIO

SG



3) Is the #9 SMR needed, or does the AIO do what that will do?

Chuck,



I used AIO by hand my 1st time , a few weeks later I redid it with a PC . NO CONTEST PC wins. I got a much better shine with the PC and its quick and fun to do. Its hard for your arms to do what the PC can. I`ll never use AIO by hand again, except for small stuff, chrome wheels ect. As for the SG at least 1 hour ,some people leave it over night. If your car stays outside don`t leave it over night. I did and it was a mess in the morning.

Chuckmotor, no need for the SMR 2.0. AIO will wipe out any hazing left by the FI-2.

the first time that I applied Klasse. I did it all by hand, but the products will work fine if using a PC.

If you do a search on Klasse, you will find enough to keep you reading for a month!

I know! I searched for "Klasse application" and other things like that, and I got pages and pages of links! Why do you think I asked?

[Chuckmotor]

Thanks for the help. One question.

Let me get this straight-- should I work the ENTIRE car with AIO before buffing any off? If this is correct, how long should I wait after working the entire car with AIO before buffing off the residue?



Okay, another question.

Is a Meguiar`s foam pad okay to use for SG?

You can buff off the AIO immediately, no wait needed.

Let the SG cure for at least 20 minutes, longer is better.

Use a damp applicator for AIO, a dry applicator for SG. Foam pads work great for both.

I haven`t used Klasse personally (yet), but I believe the #9 2.0 is going to leave some oils/fillers behind - so it is probably better NOT to use it - because the polymers all want clean paint to bond to. You could also Dawn-wash before the AIO step.

[Don2000g]

Agreed! Those Klasse containers are pretty cool. I hope they don`t change. Laters

Yesterday after a good dawn wash, Ironx and another dawn wash it appears that I have all of the glazes and fillers removed.





A few more from today for your viewing pleasure:










The whole vehicle has been repainted in the past.

I have been doing some test spots on the hood. I found a combo that works very well.

Can you guess my 2 step process?

How do you like the Ironx Bryan? I have a liter that should be here today.

I wonder if you might be testing the new Megs microfiber system on this. I know some others that were at SEMA the same time as you are testing it. As good as you are, it would seem logical.
