Applicators

In a dissenting opinion, you <strong class=`bbc`>should[/b] use AIO.

The reason is this; it acts as a boundry layyer between your paint surface and the SG. If there are any small imperfections, then it will take care of them for you and lastly, it does offer some additional protection, as the label says (I`m paraphrasing here) "that additional coats will provide another layer of acrylic." Not only that, but the AIO will make your paint feel like melted butter and will be ready for several coats of SG.

I look at the Klasse products as a system and apply it as such. Of course, everyone has their own methods and reasons, but since you`re working from such a wonderful point in the life of your car (ie: virgin paint) that I think that you`d want to be aware of all your choices.

But with no one to contact at KLASSE to get accurate info, we have to go by the facts that we know.......

AIO can not layer. An additional coat will strip the previous one just like any cleaner wax type product. If anything, it will offer more cleaning capability with multiple coats.

AIO contains mild abrasives. I don`t know why anyone would want to use any type of abrasives on a brand new car. Abrasives clean and remove scratches by putting in finer, smaller scratches. It`s kind of a catch 22. I guess it is matter of opinion, but I don`t use any abrasive product unless I need too.

I have used AIO before on older paint with great results, but for new paint, I would reach for the SG, and that is it.

Thanks everyone, I feel the same way DK. If the paint is brand new (and it is Brand new under the plastic) what is the point of using an abrasive. My only concern is SG not properly bonding... I only have one chance to start it off right...

which do you you prefer when applying wax or sealant....Foam or Microfiber applicators.

For liquids I generally like mf, for pastes, I like foam.

I like foam myself.

**TimG** · 09-18-2010, 08:53 PM

Most of the time, foam.

My thoughts precisely :-B

**imported_detailchick** · 09-18-2010, 09:39 PM

Neither .....I like terry cloth:p

**imported_JSFM35X** · 09-18-2010, 09:42 PM

MF for sealants and foam or terry for hard paste and either for liquids.

I use various types of foam: thin disc shaped, cut foam blocks, polishing pads. I do not use mf applicators on paint any more. The foam have less drag, prime better, and easier to clean for me. I use the mf on interiors.
