NEWBIE here,,,,



i used KLASSE AIO & 2 layers of klasse sealant 2.5 month ago

3 times car wash between 2.5 month

and i just bought Four Star Ultimate Paint Protection Boosted with Polycharger...

can i repolish the whole car and put the new sealant?? will it hurt my clearcoat?
 
welcome to the forum, theres a lot to learn here.. by polishing are you refering to using klasse AIO? you'll be fine putting the four star ultimate paint protection on over the klasse SG by the way, thats wat i would do anyway.or just keep layering the klasse :-) remember, once you put the UPP over the klasse, additional layers of klasse will likley not bond correctly, so keep that in mind.. youll have to strip the UPP off before using klasse SG again, aio would do the job.

should i strip off the klasse SG by using klasse aio and put four star ultimate paint protection,,,i dont know is there any side effect by putting 2 sealant together but what i want is glossy finish
 
the klasse AIO will remove your SG(klasse sealant). i've never personally used UPP, but my understanding is that its non abrasive ( no cleaners) so it can be put ontop of an already existing later (like your klasse SG).. klasse SG after a few layers is pretty darn glossy in my opinion... what color is this on just out of curiosity? upp like everything else will last longest on a freshly cleaned (no wax/sealant etc) surface, so the only side effect i can imagine running into is the upp not lasting as long as it can.. klasse is a pretty good base though, lots of people use klasse ail, then SG (gives great relfections and gloss) and follow with something to give more depth and wetness liek a carnuba.. im not sure how UPP will look, but it wont hurt to put it over your klasse.
 
Nothing will be glossy if the surface is not prepared. And unless this is a babied car, a chemical paint cleaner is not going to prepare the surface.
 
there would still be an improvement using klasse over an unwaxed part.. i was debating talking about polishing, but that wasnt really his question and i didnt feel like opening that huge can of worms lol.. but yes, it is true that prep work is 90% of your final results.

prep work=?



i clay bar my car 6month ago
 
to get the most gloss out of your car prep work is required... im sure there are tons of great threads on here you could browse through .. polishing is pretty much removing a thin layer of clear coat, which levels the paint surface elimenating imprefections like scratches, swirls, oxidation etc etc... gives a more uniform surface to light to reflect off of, therefor giving you more gloss..

If by polishing you mean using AIO, then yes you can polish as much as you want. As stated above, AIO contains a cleaner and will simply strip the wax/sealant and prep the car for a new layer.



If by polishing you are talking about something other than Klasse, I would not go crazy using a compound frequently, but you could get away with a nice finish polish like PO85RD a few times per year.

In the old days there were members who would alternate between layers of SG and UPP and had zero problems. Whether the addition of Polycharger changes that, I don't know.
 
rele? i thought SG was too finnikey to stick to anything other than itself, or other acrylic based products... but as i said, i've never used upp. so thanx for clearing that up for us.. theres always something to be learned on these forums :-)
 
I was wondering which gets better results: Klasse AIO or Menzerna Ceramiclear "Nano" Polish PO106FA



I would then finish it off with a sealer.

Apples and oranges. One is a polish with cut (and no LSP included) and the other is a cleaner/LSP.



You can not compare them.
