Applied to much AIO, need help for removing excess!!!

First time detailer here. I bought a new car a week or two ago and lined up this weekend to detail the black Accord.



I clayed the car last night, and then got up first thing this morning to wash it for Klasse AIO application. I apparrently don't know how to read diretions very well as I applied way too much on the hood of my car, and didn't dampen the applicator pad at all. That said, I have a big beautiful black hood with streak marks and haziness everywhere.



I have tried to buff it off at least 4 separate times with different Microfiber buffing towels, and I seem to be getting nowhere. Should I keep applying the elbow grease and I will eventually get there, or should I lightly use some QD to clean it up?



I plan on applying some P21S when I am done with the AIO, but I obviously want and need to get all of the AIO buffed off before I do so.



Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
 
Really, I will get rid of the excess by applying even more AIO product?



I was planning on putting on two coats anyway, but am now unsure with the hazy glaze I am getting.
 
If you have used a lot, go back to panel edges, cracks, etc, where excess has built up, that AIO residue turns to concrete over time. Common newb mistake is using too much product, you really need very little (pretend it's expensive...wait, it is!) When you get done working it in, it should be almost invisible. You shouldn't really need to do it twice, unless you have missed spots. And regarding hair of the dog that bit you....like dissolves like...

no need to apply 2 coats... Are you applying the SG, too? I apply the SG 2 or more, but not the AIO...
 
AIO has cleaners that will clean off previous layers. In other words, it's not layerable, but it is effective at cleaning up your mess.
 
Gotcha guys. At this point then, all I need to reapply and re-do is the horizontal portions of the car, hood, roof, trunk. I finally figured it out for the rest of the car.



Thanks a lot!
 
I am truly amazed at how much farther you can take a car by adding in a few extra steps and using some quality products.



I grew up a car man because of my father. He had us out washing cars at least twice a week, often times more. He cleaned every nook and cranny on the car and demanded that I clean his cars to that standard which has served me well to today.



That said, he used Palmolive or Joy for the car soap, a sponge, and old towels to dry the car with. Every now and then he would apply a paste wax such as Turtle Wax.



Now that I got my first new car in some time, especially it being black, I wanted to take my car to the next level. Spending about two weeks searching forums such as this, I completed the following over yesterday and today.



Wash

Clay

Wash

Klass AIO

P21S



I thought the car looked wet shiny and black after I applied the Klasse AIO. I just got done with the P21S. I was utterly amazed as I applied it first to one half of my hood, and then looked over at the other half. I could swear it turned the paint 3 shades darker, not to mention it was like I was looking into a mirror.



As soon as I figure out how to post pics, I will post one in this thread to show you my baby! Thanks for everyone's help!
 
That's good to know. I thought it was needed before the AIO. That definitely shortens up the process.



Pics coming soon!
 
OK, here are the end results. Thanks to everyone in the forums who helped out with advice.



These pics are the result of a wash, claying, wash again, Klass AIO, then topped with P21S Carnauba Wax:
