Well, I and my PC 7336 are getting along just swimmingly, but I am wondering whether I am using the best product for swirls on my black car. It is new the the "swirls" are really just the hazy. misty type (hmm, dated a few of those in high school, but those were girls, not swirls). I...

I have a black BMW and live in very sunny Las Vegas. Despite very careful methods of hand-washing and detailing, I have several very pronounced swirls/scratches that show up in the bright sun. I use two buckets to wash, an all-cotton mitt, dry with CA Water Blade, Klasse AIO/SG applied with...

I seem to be getting very fine scratching -- almost misty, hazy in appearance when using MF towels or applicators. Anyone else had this experience? What puzzles me a bit is that we are all fanatical about never letting polyester touch our cars, yet we have so readily accepted MF, which I...

I live in Las Vegas, home of bright sun and hard water -- bad combination for a black BMW. I wash the car in the garage, butr inevitably, there are some areas that dry before I can get to them with the water blade. Can I just use some Mother's quick detailer and a MF towel to touch up or does...

I have tried claying a few times and am left wondering if I just don't understand how to do it -- or just don't understand what it's like when done. If I use enough spray so the clay does not stick or grab, it seems to slide pretty easily, but I have not tactile feedback that the surface is...

(or maybe they're turkeys.) There simply is no other explanation. It must be like birds flying into windows. I just Klassed this thing an hour ago...

I had a question that got lost in the cost/benefit analysis of the clay bar thread -- I have a Mother's clay bar but it seems awfully small. are you supposed to stretch or out a bit before using it? Thanks

Well, maybe I am, but not on this AIO/SG/Blitz issue. I am almost convinced the ferver over this combination is the stuff of urban legend. I talked with a very knowledgable gent at CMA/ProperAuoCare on this issue and he said emphatically that carnaubas do not work well on top of SG but the...

I know we had a robust debate about this a few days ago, but this weekend I had a bad experience myself with the mystery haze/smear problem on black cars (I'm sure it's on all cars, just can't see it). Over the last few weeks, I have been applying Blitz over some previously applied coats of...

As it it doesn't seem to work well for me. I do not get this Stoner thing I do not think it does anything. I spray it thick and thin and let it pool I have sprayed it twice and let it drool. I have wiped it once and twice and more I have wiped it quick before it hits the door...

Now I know why I got a black 330Ci. This is one run of 3M SMR, two courses of Klasse AIO, two coats of SG and two coats of Blitz. Thanks to everyone on the board who welcomed me to the Klasse.

Wow. Just finished my first topper coat of Blitz over AIO and SG on a black BMW 330Ci. Wow. Wow. OK, I did say that already. Now I know what black really is. Deep, deep color (so deep you almost could swim in it.) Plus, I took the car out on the road and got caught in a...

I'm not sure I can stand to wait, but how long between my last coat of SG and first coat of Blitz? Also, I found the SG hard to remove in spot, but I used a cotton cloth ever so lightly misted with water and it seemed to finally come off.

I recived a microfiber/foam application pad with my Klasse Concourse kit. Do I use the pad with both the AIO and the SG?

I am converting from Zaino system to Klasse. (Hang on, Zaino fans, I am still using Zaino on my wife's 2001 Sebring convertible, but trying Klasse system on my BMW 330Ci.) I will be be lightly using some 3M SMR, followed by Klasse AIO, SG, then Blitz. What I need to know is how or whether...
