I'm not familiar with the Instant shine, I use the stuff from top of the line called "Grape Dressing" for the tires. As far as the larger sizes for the Klasse "twins" one word...YES! This is because of two reasons, number one, once you see how easy this product is to apply/remove, you'll be using it more than anything you've ever used and two, its cheaper that way. While I've got your ear I might as well as tell you the technique for application I like best. I got this from the autopia website. Take your applicator (I prefer a 100% cotton pad, square, but I've also used microfiber as well) and wet it. Then, wring it out real good so its just slightly damp. Then take AIO, seeing that its a cleaner/polish and is to be used first before the SG and apply a small strip across the pad and believe me, USE IT SPARINGLY! You should have enough there to do an entire section and then some, use your better judgment as it can't be stressed enough, less is best because of what this product is made of. You may find your pad starting to get dirty and this shows how much dirt is actually below the clear. I've gotten dirty pads after washing and claying a car first! You DO NOT have to wait for it to dry, just apply and remove once your done with a section. Repeat when using SG and if you want, while your using either product, flip it over and use the clean side, you can even use quick detailer to moisten up the pad, but don't spray too much.


I suggest applying a second coat of SG to your car after the first BUT, remember to wait 8-12 hours inbetween applications. Using your Cali duster or spraying some quick detailer to your car will get off any dust or road debris if you had to drive your car in between.
