    Can I continually layer SG?

    OK I just clayed my car and put AIO and SG on last week. Now here's my plan of action until next spring. I will put another layer of SG on this weekend and then continually layer SG bimonthly (while using Sonus after weekly washes). So I should have 5 layers put on this year with the last one...

    What causes swirl marks?

    My current car is about a year old and I've taken pretty good care of it with frequent washes and waxes. Since I've joined this board I've brought it up a notch with claying, Klasse twins and MF. Now what causes swirl marks? For the life of me I can't find any swirl marks on my car looking...

    Why doesn't anybody Simoniz it?

    Mothers, Megs, Turtle wax, Armor All, Eagle One. All these store bought products get mentioned frequently here but what about Simoniz? They've been around for decades(saw on TV recently The 3 Stooges in a Simoniz commercial made back in the 50's) but I've never seen it mentioned on this site nor...

    Meg's clay really kinda sucks.

    I do the clay and Klasse twins yesterday using WOO. Incredibly easy with WOO, Bill should get royalties everytime one of us do it for making it so easy. Anyway I used the Megs Quik clay system. The clay really didn't do much of a job picking up anything. I was thinking maybe I put too much...

    SG right after AIO doesn't seem right

    AIO contains some protectant. Is this protectant in AIO basically just diluted SG or is it a different chemical composition. I'm wondering because if there is some SG in AIO(no matter how little) shouldn't you let the AIO cure for 24 hours before applying SG just like you would wait with...

    Detailing at dusk?

    The garage is full of crap and the shade dissipates over my driveway at about 8 AM so I've basically washed and waxed for years after 6 PM as long as it's not too hot outside (under 70 Degrees) and the car is cool to the touch and never had any problems. So I'll be claying and doing the...

    How much time am I gonna need?

    Is SG good for windows and trim?

    OK I've read that AIO is good to use for the windows and trim and it won't stain but what about SG. Is SG easy to apply to both as long as you do the WOO(kinda sounds likes a new dance craze :dance ). Anybody apply AIO and\or SG to the front window with any success.The weather sux lately in...

    Does Dawn strip wax and SG or not?

    Another thread got me thinking about this and save me some work. I put AIO and several layers of SG and then decide to put P21s on top, then after awhile I decide I want more layers of SG but of course can't apply it on top of carnauba. So does Dawn strip the wax and the Klasse or just the wax?

    So confused about MF and buffing.

    The only decent MF towels I could find in Toronto is the Meguirs Ultimate Wipe detailing cloth and I also found a MF drying towel by Simoniz. Now I've never used MF for buffing before(always used terry). The Meg's towel is 14" by 14". Now my question is are the Meg's any good and how many do...

    Where to buy a clay bar in Toronto?

    OK I've decided to clay my car for the 1st time before I apply AOI\SG. The problem is I can't find a clay bar in Toronto. The only one I found is that Mothers kit which has a QD and I think wax at Canadian Tire. I have Sonus so it's kind of pointless to waste money on another QD which I'll...

    Why does Nissan paint suck?

    In the next year I'll be looking for a mid-life crisis car (although I'm only 36, you gotta start somewhere). On the top of my list are the 350Z and G35 coupe. The problem is Nissan must have the worst paint on the planet. My father has a Maxima which he hardly ever drives on the highway and...

    multi layers of SG or P21S topper?

    OK I'm just about ready to do my spring detail on my 1 year old silver Mazda 6. I'll be using Klasse AIO and 1 layer of SG. Now this is where I'm at a crossroads. Do I continue with an extra layer of SG or top with a carnuaba (P21s). Do 2 layers of SG come close to achieving the deep shine and...

    How good is the Absorber?

    Does the Absorber do a good job for drying? How about ease of use and durability?

    smirking neighbours

    OK I'm pretty much a fanatic about keeping my car clean and shiny thru thick and thin but I'm starting to get self-conscious because of those cursed snickering neighbours. At minimum I wash the car twice weekly and that's sunny weeks. You also get those times where you wash the car and the next...

    Klasse expiry date?

    Considering the AIO and SG that I got will probably end up lasting me 5 years, does anybody know what the shelf life of these are? One of Klasse's selling points is how long a bottle will last you but they wanna make money too and they don't want you buying their products every 5 years. I know...

    SG-does it bead or sheet?

    Hey everybody I'm a newbie here. Just ordered my AOI and SG and will soon put it on. After perusing sites I still am not clear on whether SG beads water or sheets water. If it sheets than what are the telltile signs that SG needs to be reapplied. Is 6 months too long to reapply or should it be...
