    Sonus and durability of Klasse SG

    Well, I'm now nearly a year after using Klasse SG for the first time (I used the BillNorth WOWO method, AIO and then four layers of SG) and the car still shines, has a slick finish, and beads water. It has been garaged for a good chunk of that time, and it doens't rain much out here. Still...

    What pads should I order for my new PC?

    I placed my order for the Porter Cable last night, at Coastal Tools. Now, I need to get pads. After reading all the various helpful threads here, I thought I'd get the Sonus pads at Autopia (and,yeah, I know the discount code). But, several of you recommended buying extra pads. So, I...

    Advice for repairing "curb rash" on Alloy wheels

    I know this has been discussed here before, but I couldn't find anything with the search button. I've accumulated some damage to my alloy wheels and would love to find some way to repolish them myself. I've looked into having it done by a shop, but that doesn't work out a whole lot cheaper...

    Going to buy an orbital polisher, any advice?

    I've been reading about oribtal polishers for some time now, and finally decided to take the plunge. I thought I would order the Porter Cable 7424 from Coastal Tools, and then the Sonus Pad kit from Autopia (slightly cheaper than getting the Sonus rig from Autopia, because I don't hae to pay...

    SPLAT! (or the many uses of detailing clay)

    So, I'm driving home from work two nights ago across I-134. I notice, out of the corner of my eye, a rubber traffic cone bouncing across the highway. Before I knew what happened, the darn thing hit my car square in the front fender, and then dragged itself across the passenger side of the car...

    Steps between Clay and Klasse AIO

    It has been about a year since I started visiting this forum. At that time, I had just purchased a new car, and came her to look for advice on how to protect the finish. Following everybody's comments, I clayed it, and then used Klasse twins. I've been very, very happy with the results. But...

    Sonus and Klasse SG

    I have a few coats of SG on my car right now (which I applied with the BillNorth method after claying, and a base coat of AIO). I've been using Sonus and Final Inspection as quick detailers. I wash the care fairly often. However, in the parking garage at work, the car seems to get covered...

    OK to put NXT over SG?

    I thought I might like to give my vehicle a litte more "pop." It has 4 coats of SG on it now. I do have S100, but don't want to use it because I anticipate further coats of SG before the summer ends. So, I thought of either NXT or UPP. The main advantage of NXT over UPP is that it is easily...

    Preventing garage parking accidents

    I want to buy some kind of wedge or something to keep myself from accidently driving into the wall in my garage (yes, I'm careful, but accidents can happen!). The two options I've seen are: http://www.autoanything.com/garage_products/results.asp?prID=61...

    Fine grain vs. medium grain clay

    Some brands come in multiple grains (premium autocare has fine and medium grades for claymagic, for example). When do I use the fine grain and when do I use the medium grade? Should I use fine grain under normal circumstances and medium grain for more difficulty situations (like overspray)?

    Resistance to Dust of topper products

    I have a few coats of Klasse SG on my car right now, and am considering some kind of topper to give it a bit more of a "pop" (to use a frequent autopian term). However, something I do not want to give up is the great resistance to dirt and dust I have with SG. The car never seems to get dirty...

    Good Source for QEW

    Based on some of what I read here, I wanted to try it. So, I went to Protect All's e-store. I got four 16-oz bottles and a couple of free samples for $20.00 and only $4.00 in shipping. Even with shipping, it cost less than it would have sold for in an RV store. The shipping was...

    You Autopians just cost me big $

    After reading the various threads on how to wash a car, how to clean wheels and tires, etc, I could no longer stand living in an apartment building where I am dependent on coin-operated car wash. So, I went ahead, and took the plunge. I bought a townhouse with a garage. It has a hose and...

    Quick Detailers that are OK to use with Klasse SG?

    So, i've been carefully reading all the threads here about quick detailers and what can be used with Klasse SG (keeping in mind that I intend I have two layers on now, and want to add a few more layers for protection and durability). I understand that I can't use any detailers with Caruba, and...

    Paint Discolorations

    So, I have this relatively new Acura TSX, Meteor Silver (which is a light blue with fleck of silver). After camping out on this forum, I decided I wanted to apply some sort of polymer-based protection to it. I ordered the Klasse kit, and clayed the car last weekend (very good advice from...

    Gumby to the rescue

    Well, I was all set to use Klasse AIO and SG on my car for the first time last weekend. I did not get to do it though, because of the weather. But, several of you urged me to clay the car first. I was skeptical because the car was new, but I can't believe the stuff that came off a new car...

    Any advice for a newbie Klasse user?

    And, yeah, I've used the search option and read most of the existing posts on the topic. (including the discussion of different ways to apply SG, as well as the thread in the "hall of fame" forum). I've have a 6-month old car, and I've already used Meguire Gold and S100 on it. It is a...
