Default Never Wax Again

I have owned and operated two detail shops in the mid 80's. I have owned 40+ cars including trucks. I have kept every single one of them in immaculate condition with the best waxes, car washes etc, money could buy. I have never used a better product than the KLASSE All-IN-ONE and the High Gloss Sealant Glaze ever.

These products are the best I have personally ever have used. These products contain No Water, Non-Chip, Elastic Finish, Detergent Safe. Anti-Static, Protective Shield Against Corrosive Elements. Incredible long lasting Shine and Protection. Plus the stuff is made in Germany just like our Crossfire's.

The product has won an Honorary Gold Medal from the European Association of Inventors. I have to say after using the All-IN-ONE and going on to the High Sealant Glaze it was a pretty lengthily process. I put in a good 5 to 6 hours because I did the High Sealant Glaze twice after the 8 hour wait from the last application. The car is left with a brilliant super wet look.

Doing this, it helps you appreciate the contour of your crossfire. It leaves a shrink proof, heat and scratch resistant acrylic seal with no swirl marks on red or black paints. Even tho mine is the Alabaster White. Here is also a cool thing, it does not stain the rubber seals on the vehicle either, totally amazing product. I also did all of my windows, front and back lenses (Head & Tail Lights) everything.

I had also removed my sticker from the dealership and it left that sticky glue, the All-IN-ONE took it right off. A little pricey but so well worth it. The way I followed instructions I should not have to worry about re-applying for another year. But since I live in Vegas I will go a few months and see. Thought I would share. If any of you have any questions do not hesitate in asking. Here is the link below.

Dan,

No not that I am aware of. The first time I saw it available was through a magazine called Herrington. I had have been thinking of ordering the product for the last couple of years but I did not until now. I did a search Online and I finally bought it from the link above, it was a better price. I bought the XL-KIT-33. It comes with the 33 oz jugs, two micro applicators, detail towel, and two cloth applicators. Superior Car Care Company was also very professional to deal with as well. They gave me some good tips on using the product.

I´m from Germany and don´t know that product. I can´t belive that is a German product. Please tell me which company is written on the bottle. Maybe you can find a German address on the bottle. Please let us know I will check if anybody in Germany know that product.

Steffen,


I looked on the back of the bottle of ALL-IN-ONE and what it say's is this, invented by a German chemist for: Cars-Boats-Airplanes-Home Use

On the front of the bottle it says KLASSE Imported From Germany. There is also a Honorary Gold Medal Award for 1973 from the European Association of Inventors

It also says that this product is imported exclusively by:
KLASSE USA, 601 Van Ness Avenue, Suite E-3-842
San Francisco, CA 94102, USA

Made In Germany:

Sorry that is all the information that I have. If you click on the link I provided maybe Superior Car Care could give you more information if you contacted them.

One more thing I found on the back of the HIGH GLOSS SEALANT GLAZE is this.
All rights reserved and protected by KLASSE through Registered Trademark. Manufactured and bottled in Germany for KLASSE.

Wow, I am surprised that somebody actually knows what Klasse-all-in-one is...their line of products is great, and only those who truly know car detailing will know what it is. For true automotive detailers, I recommed you visit this website:
http://autopia.org

Even more, for truly incredible paint, try Klasse All-In-One, and then PS12...the durability is not the greatest, but the shine is second to none. These products and other "detailer secrets can be found on the website listed above.

I got my XF AGLAZE'D. They are a reputable company who specialise in protective coatings, originally for boats but there was a market for cars. Cost £300 ($600) for inside and out. I use their car shampoo and cleaners, and their microfibre cloths are fantastic (most makes are); and the car is spotless and dry when you finish.

The AGLAZE coating also helps to prevent the build up of brake dust and if it is raining heavily enough, I don't need the wipers - I can see through the clear sheet of water on the windscreen.

Check them out at www.aglaze.com.

How good is this for uv paint damage. Some people think a clear coat is uv resistant but it isn't. Silver colors are the worst for sun. I bought a uv protectant for 600.00. Dealer applied the first time and I got the rest to apply once a year. sounds close to same thing. comes in a kit with stuff for interior.

Hi, I have a 2004 black Crossfire. I have tried several "polishes" treatments", etc. on my car for the swirl marks. Then I saw your comments, ordered a kit , and I was amazed!! Took about 5 hours, but the results are worth it! The stuff is awesome!!

I suppose that's a matter of opinion. I know that on dark colored cars, Klasse can't be beat. And you can layer Klasse SG. The only real drawback to Klasse is that you need to let it dry and 'cure' for awhile before adding the next layer. But the results are fantastic.

Klasse All in One alone will last longer than Zaino, that is for sure. Putting Klasse Sealant Glaze will further increase the longevity of the product, as well as Sonus Acrylic Spritz...but for the ultimate in shine (lower durability), try Klasse All In One and top it off with a show car wax such as Pinnacle Souveran or P21s. This combo is simply the most famous combo in the detailing industry, especially on darker colored cars. Soon I will be getting this combo...I can't wait. As a tip, I will tell you that the key to having a sparkling paint job is not in the wax, it is in the preparation before the wax. Again, if you would like to learn more about what I am talking about, go to autopia.org

Ok, I got my Klasse AIO and Klasse SG in... washed the car, applied the AIO, looked VERY good. Put a layer of SG on , looked VERY VERY good. Waited about 6 hours and put another layer on, looked very very very good. Waited over night, put a 3rd layer on, and well, EXTREMELY good. Went in, had breakfast, drank some coffee, read the newspaper, went back out and put a layer of Maguire's Gold carnuaba wax on, and you wouldn't believe how good it looks. It's like black glass. Not a single swirl, scratch, spider web, streak, etc... damn this looks good. I'm sold. It's Klasse all the way now.

*** I used Maguires NTX Quick Detail as a lubricant for application for both the Klasse products. I used plush microfiber towels for polishing , microfiber applicator pads to put it down and, at the end, I did a light polish with some deluxe felt towels. It's slicker than owl sh*t.

That Pinnacle Souveran stuff is EXPENSIVE..... with the results I got with multi layers of SG and Maguires Gold was more than I had ever expected. I'll stick with that.

Thanks for the info. I've ordered the product and can't wait to apply it. What did you wash the car with first?

1Z Perls Shampoo. But there are several other good car washes out there. Just do a search. Washing is important, but it's not nearly as important as the steps that follow. I mean, you can use a decent wash, so long as you dry it well and then follow up with the Klasse, etc...

Realize, this was a day and a half of working on the car. You won't have to do this every week or anything, but it does take awhile to get it right. After I washed the car, I got out my shop vac and air compressor to dry the car off. Forcing 125 psi air into the creases and joints to get the water out and using the blow side of the vac to help dry the water also. Remember, when you wash, don't spray. Just use the water coming out of the hose as it is. The lower pressure helps to get the water to bead and slide off the car.

Whoa, xfuego, if you used Klasse Sealant Glaze, then you should not be putting anything else on top. Sealant Glaze is supposed to be your last-step product after Klasse All In One. It is designed to "seal" the paint from harmful particles and so on, and it increases the longevity of the AIO product. Putting a carnuaba on top of SG may damage the bonding properties of the Klasse products, reducing it's longevity and durability. Putting a carnuaba on top of Klasse All In One is the correct alternative to using Klasse Sealant Glaze!
Just for asking, did you apply both products by hand or by machine? For the future, for even better results, I recommend you wash your car with Sonus Car Wash Shampoo, then use a pre-wax cleaner (I recommend Sonus Paintwork Cleanser), then AIO, then Klasse Sealant Glaze or a Carnuaba wax. I recommend the Sonus products because they are designed specifically to work with acrylic products such as Klasse All-In-One. You must remember that some shampoos remove wax or damage their bonding abilities. The last tip that I will give you is to apply a quick detailer to the paint surface after you wash the car (you wouldn't need to wax for a long time) to further enhance the durability of your Klasse products.

I put them on by hand. I also checked around and it appers that a lot of people will layer several coats of glaze and top it offf with wax. So, and especially seeing the results, I don't see the problem.
