M205 before KSG?

[Jpostal]

I have a customer that needs me to get his Silverado done before going on holidays. I only have about a 4 hour time slot for him so I need the best one step polish followed by a wax or sealant.



I was thinking of using M205 and then KSG, but not sure KSG would bond properly without Klasse AIO first. Maybe an IPA wipe in-between? Also, only have time for one coat of KSG.



Maybe it would be better to just use an AIO with a little cut...something like XMT 360.



Products I have on hand currently...

M105

M205

Klasse twins

XMT 360

Carbrite Tropiglo AIO

Duragloss Aquawax

Go by CarQuest and grab some DG105. While I like Klasse, it needs multiple layers to look good and last. DG105 is $10, so easy to apply and remove and it lasts a long time. Collinite 845 would be another good choice if you can find it.

First off, I don't use KSG unless I can layer it, otherwise I'd rather use some other LSP (noting that you'd have to buy it...maybe you could find some Collinite 845 locally).



Secondly, the M205 leaves *SO* much behind in the way of oils/etc. that IME just an IPA wipe isn't enough. Multiple IPA wipes have still left so much behind that I ended up switching to TOL's PrepWash for that kind of cleanup. But if you're just waxing over top of those oils they shouldn't cause any problems; I've waxed over top of them and it worked OK.



And no, IME KAIO doesn't clean the oils off either, which surprised me.
