Got pretty lazy on a few interim cars and stopped really taking care of them, visually, but just picked up a new S4 and want to get back in the game.


 


About a decade ago (holy crap), I scoured this forum pretty regularly and took up a system of Klasse AIO/SG with a PC 7424 and 303/Sonus/Einszett on the interior and was always happy w the results.  Im guessing something has come along in that time to replace that, so what should I be looking at these days? 


 


also - whats the shelf life on AIO/SG?  A bottle of SG goes forever, but Im guessing its time to toss whatever I have remaining from 2004!


 


Thanks
 
Red1ine- Welcome back to it!  Fellow Audi-nut here.


 


Nothing wrong with the Klasse twins. 


 


Toss KSG from 2004?!? Perish the thought! Mine are much older than that, easily over a dozen years (!), and are still perfectly OK.  My KAIO is even "going bad" by most people's standards in that it has suspicious nasty clumps of who-knows-what in it, but I used those scare-quotes because it nonetheless works just fine.  And absolutely *zero* problems with my KSG, which I opened before moving into this house in Oct. of 2000.


 


All I use on my Audi interiors is 1Z Cockpit Premium, other than a *VERY* infrequent treatment of the leather (and I do mean *VERY INFREQUENT* as in not even annually).
 
Perfect, and glad to hear it. 


 


I was doing AIO with the DA and SG by hand, but going through my toolbox, my DA pads are pretty beat.  If you're doing AIO by machine, whats your preferred dual action pad, im not familiar with the choices today, but used to use a "white" polishing pad...
 
Scottwax- If I ever use up my Klasse, I do plan to consider the Werkstat, based on your recommendation.  That's a big "if" though since the KSG might be a lifetime supply!


 


Red1ine- I'm not up to date on pads either haven't bought any in ages.  I always do KSG by hand as I just can't use the same tiny amount by machine, but for KAIO I use the orange Griot's polishing pad (very different from other "orange pads").
 
Werkstat definitely has a unique look too, I can even spot it in forum pictures. If Opti-Coat hadn't come along, I'd still be using Werkstat as my LSP.
