not sure why but am a little confused

[chetJ]

I plan on clay baring and polishing the 4R this weekend. In the past, I have used Klasse All in One and Klasse Sealant glaze. At this point, I have forgotten the order of things. After I wash and clay bar, does the All in One go on first or the sealant?

AiO first

OK I think I remember now
Wash
Clay bar
Klasse All in One
Klasse sealent
Carnuba wax if you want it

Is that the correct order?

Yep, but personally, I would wash it again after the clay bar-ing. Not really sure if it's necessarily though.

After you clay bar, wash again (with a bit of Dawn in the mix) to get the quick detailer that you used to clay bar off the car. You don't want anything slick on the surface before tha AIO. Should be an ultra clean surface before you AIO.

What do you guys think of the following idea
1. Klasse AIO
2. Klasse sealent
3. A coat of liquid glass polish

i think it is a truck and you have a lot of time on your hands!

This would be fine but AIO is a polish and sealant. #2 would be adding another coat of sealant which is a good idea 24 hours later.

Don't do #3. That product is a polish which has abrasives that will remove what you did in #1 and 2. #3 should just be a wax but is not necessary since today's sealants have high shine and gloss.

Thanks Johnny T... I will take your advice and not do the liquid glass.

If you want to top off the sealant with a nice wax, this is a pretty popular product I see lots of people using on top of sealants.

Insulator Wax » Collinite

I've only used it on bare paint and it seem's to last forever for a carnuba based wax, good stuff!

 

[JohnnyT]

Technically Collinite 845 is a wax but I use it as a sealant. Nothing lasts longer. I use it exclusively and absolutely love it. After I wash with Optimum ONR i simply use Optimum spray wax over it. Takes an extra 10 minutes.

It's certainly a great winter wax.

Johnny T and Eddiebx..this stuff looks great. Will buy it tomorrow!

Be aware it is a very thin watery wax so be careful not to apply too much. Thin coats is the key.

When you first get it, it may be firmed up pretty hard in the bottle. Just put the whole bottle in some warm water for a few minutes, then shake it up, and repeat until it is watery.

Looks like baby vomit.

Hold the cap when you shake it since the cap is pretty weak.
