Why all the negative attitudes toward KSG?

I never understood the hype of Klasse products. I know this is about the sealant glaze but I also have a negative feeling about AIO, in fact I gave the container away after a few unimpressive uses. their products just never impressed me like some other products have, I guess I am picky.
 
This thread is what I love about internet forums, you can easily discover if you are the only person having a problem.



I have done about 15 cars using SG and sometimes I get streaks, sometimes I dont, I use the WOWO method and even measure 30ml (1oz)into a shot glass which makes you be a lot more carefull with the amount you use.



My climate in summer is very humid and in winter is very dry so I dont really blame the weather.



I love the AIO as a chemical cleaner, especially on older single stage paints.



Cheers

I tried the SG about 4 months ago after reading all they hype about it on this board. Now I tried the AIO and was wayyyy impressed with the results (the glossy look it gave my silver car to be specific). Therefore I was willing to give the SG a shot.



Well like most people (and Im in Calif also) the SG was a b!tch to remove. I quit after doing the hood and 2 front fenders....I just couldn't see it being worth the effort and time. Mind you, I don't mind spending 3-4 hours on my car but this SG was ridiculously difficult.



Maybe if I was the type to only spend that kind of time and effort on my car 1 or 2x a year then it would be fine but I like working on my car's shine at least once every 3-4 months.



Now I'm to the point where I only need to polish then wax thanks to Megs #80 and my PC



as a matter of fact, I'm willing to trade my "just like new" Klasse SG for some Megs #80 or Meg's #16.
 
On reading this thread I can see that there are mixed feelings with regard to Klasse SG.

However, I can add that I use both Klasse AIO and SG and have no problem with either! In fact, it was on the Autopia forum that I noted that SG has to be applied very, very thinly and if this rule is followed - no problem. (I did try an experiment to see if thicker was better on part of a panel and lo and behold! it was really difficult to remove.)

I have also used Meguiars NXT but feel that Klasse AIO with SG gives a better result and lasts longer. The Klasse products seem to give good protection from road dirt and salt and so far I've not needed to apply more. It's been about 4 weeks since I applied the last SG coat.

To apply SG I just use a MF pad and apply by hand followed by the PC with a MF concours bonnet. As far as how much time to leave the product on the paint, I just followed the insructions on the bottle.

I'm looking forward to better weather so I can try putting a carnauba wax on top to see if the shine can be improved even more.

The below is the sort of result I've got...

I have never seem to run into the same issues others seem to experience when applying/removing SG. I apply it thin with a dry terry or MF app, let it sit for an hour and remove with a damp MF then buff with a clean/dry MF. Nothing difficult, no streaiking, no haze. I'm satisfied with the look and love the durability I get with 2-3 coats, so I'll deal with the little extra effort it takes to cure.



It's also remarkable affordable. I wind up using about 1 oz per layer on my passat (even though the directions indicate you should use about 2oz). So with 3 coats every 4 months, the 16oz bottle lasts me over a year.



I'm actually running out of SG and need to replenish my supply. Any of you unsatisfied users want to sell or trade?

Hey, my offer to buy or trade for your unused SG still stands. If interested, PM me. Got one reply, but wanted to trade for something I didn't have.
 
My method for applying SG is to used a spray bottle from [WAL-MART] with a terry applicator works for me a section @ a time. Has anyone else try this procedure.
 
Now that the humidity theory has some holes in it, I think you're absolutely right, Scottwax. The problem then becomes HOW to apply those super-thin layers consistently and with some assurance of good coverage. The stuff is darn near invisible when applied thin enough to easily remove. Excellent lighting is required.



I say slap on the SG, let it dry for a bit, douse it in Sonus Acrylic Spritz, wipe it off, enjoy the low-hassle shine. :)



Mikeman out.
