Which do you guys think looks better?



This is with meguiars #9 and #26
 
damn lighting conditions. Every time I use klasse it is cloudy out making my paint look less black, check the difference :mad:
 
Is that the lighting conditions, or is my paint fading ? :confused:

I think it is the lighting, but we havent gotten a nice sunny day in boston for a LONG time. So I dont know.
 
The meguiar's pic looks a little darker to me. The other one looks shinier but not as dark. I think the lighting makes it hard to tell.
 
does this look as dark as the meguiars pic?

This is with the klasse.
 
I think it has a lot to do with the light. The day I took the meguiars pic it was very bright with a blue sky. I think the gray color from the sky is showing up in my paint in the klasse pics.
 
I have to agree with jngrbrdman. The Meguiar's does appear darker, and the Klasse is shinier. However, that could just be the lighting, angle of the picture, and what is reflecting in the paint. I would have to see both under the same conditions to really tell. Personally, I like black cars being deep black, but I have to admit that recflectivity can be pretty cool! However, as I said before, it's hard to truely differentiate with a picture because the outside conditions can be so different. Both look really good! Good job!:up
 
Hmmm...well it's really a matter of opinion. A caranuba is always going to give a deeper look over a polymer sealant. I kind of like the way Klasse looks on black, it makes it look like thin sheet of glass is over the paint. Very Nice. :up
 
The Klasse, if you look closely at the C pillar and couple of the other curved areas, you will see marring that is showing through the Mequiar's.



Of course, he did remove some with some polish, but the Klasse is filling better and gains gloss as it cures more than the Mequiar's.



That is because from our testing, the Klasse has a higher polymer content than the #26.



Should hold up longer as well.



If the vehicle would have been done right down the middle, then in the bright sunlight, the Klasse would have won, with the cloudy situation, it is still possible to observe marring.

:cool:
 
Is this a product your company makes Ron? If so can I apply it over klasse? Thanks for your help!





edit: That marring on the C-pillar (the last pillar between the 2 pieces of glass) is probably because the car isnt painted there. It is just black (dyed?) plastic. All color ML's have this black C-pillar strip.
 
Pretty familar with the vehicles, when they were first introduced, the Canadian MB group had our people up there appying our rust inhibitor and underbody , plus the OEM to all of them before they went to the dealers.
 
Wow, I always thought the stuff on the underbody was really durable. All of it is still black and has very little rust, Good Job :up . Do you guys sell that finishing wax (AutoInt)?

I really like that picture because of where the light is. If there were any swirls on that car you would be able to see em. That is the very most unforgiving angle to take a picture at but your hood passes with flying colors. I really like that shot. :up :up
 
It is very hard to tell from pictures since they tend to hide stuff ecspecially digital ones.



Which one do you like better?
 
The ONLY way to tell is to put BOTH products on the car, side by side on a flat panel - then look at them. You simply cannot draw any conclusions from two separate photos - lighting conditions change CONSTANTLY.



I wish more people would do this. Nobody else will notice - the differences will be subtle. If you don't like it, polish it off and reapply your favorite goo. How long will it take you to do this to a half panel?



If more people did this, we'd have much more scientific data to back up our myriad opinions. Plus, if you leave it on for even a few days you can begind to draw conclusions about "dust rejection", or for a few washes about "longevity".



Please EVERYONE! Do side by side tests!



P.S. GuessMyName - photos DO tend to hide flaws, unless you go out of your way to photograph them instead of the reflections. But digital cameras aren't worse in any way at this. After all, even if you shot with 35mm, you had to scan the picture to get it up here on the web site - so it IS digital. In a digital camera, the camera just does the scanning in the first place.
