I just purchased (two months ago) a 2005 Galactic Gray Mica 'Runner. Until today, I hadn't done a darn thing to the exterior of the vehicle. Last week I ordered the Klasse twins from Autopia along with various applicators and today I went to work with them.
I first took the 'Runner to the local car wash (I'm lazy) for a quick exterior wash. Took it straight home and started with the AIO cleaner/polish/sealant. I used the foam applicator (with foam handle) from Autupia. Wet it and rung it out first and then applied a thin layer of AIO panel by panel, immediately buffing off after each panel. Very easy on, very easy off. No drying time necessary. When I was done, I went over the whole truck with a 100% made-in-the-USA white cotton hand-towel (I used these for buffing during this entire process) just to make sure the AIO was good and "buffed". After just the application of the AIO, the truck looked GREAT. Nice shine and the paint was as smooth as a baby's ass. This step took me about 20-25 minutes.
Next I used a micro-fiber applicator (light blue) from Autopia for the Sealant Glaze. I wet the applicator, rung it out and used about a dime-sized amount of sealant glaze per panel - maybe less. I tried to keep it as thin as possible. If you can't tell you're putting it on the vehicle, that's a good thing. Once done with the entire vehicle, I let the SG dry for about 30 minutes. I then buffed off with a clean 100% cotton hand-towel. Despite reading some reports to the contrary, buffing was pretty easy. Went over the entire truck twice (with a fresh towel each time) and it looks incredible. The paint is unbeliavably smooth and slick. My towel just slides off the hood. WOW!
If this isn't the best and easiest to use cleaner/polish/sealant out there, I don't know what is. You Zaino freaks can waste time with all of that complicated crap, but I believe Klasse is a superior product. I plan to apply another coat of SG in a day or two and will report back the on the results. I expect this second coat to greatly enhance the gloss/shine.
The Klasse twins are almost as nice as the Coors twins.
