I have a few questions about applying Klasse SG and AIO (like 99% of the people on this board :P).

What should I apply it with? Viking MF towel (or any other brand), MF pad, foam pad, or cotton cloth pad? I"m thinking the MF pad would be the best, but I;m sure other people have tried the others out and seen how they work.



I've done both AIO and SG with my Viking MF towel and it seemed to work well. But I'm not sure if I caused any swirls/marring with them, and if the other ways of applying would be safer. Also I'm having the exact opposite problem of most people when using Klasse for the first time. The AIO went on and off really easily, I never remeber seeing any residue on the paint though, except when I first applied it and the towel had a little excess product in it. Same with the SG, I never had any problems with it, but I never saw much product on the surface of the paint. I woudl apply it and I would only get my clay lube/QD residue coming off teh towel onto the paint. There would be a gloss to the paint after i buffed it off, but I never noticed the usual problem of having the SG get greasy and hard to remove. It felt like i wasn't removing anything. Did I not apply it correctly?





Oh and Klasse will make it through an airport security screening. I took my bottle with me today to try it on some cars elsewhere in the country, and the security people were a little perplexed by it, but let me go. They seemed a little worried that it had petroleum distillate in it.
 
I apply AIO with the white polishing pad on the PC. Without a PC, I would use a mf applicator. I apply SG with a Sonus-misted mf applicator.



Removal of AIO--Excel Detail mf

Removal of SG--Pakshak Ultra-fine or Autofiber mf



Don't know anything about Klasse transport:nixweiss



If you are applying SG panel by panel, there should be no problem removing it. Only very rarely do I have to go back over a section with the applicator again (usually if I have to grab the phone etc...). So good job walking right into the proper application technique:xyxthumbs

For application I use mf pads lightly sprayed with water. Any other towels anyone recommends for removal?
 
Well my main problem is that it is too easy to remove/apply. I'm not sure if I'm even applying any SG. How do I know it is not getting soaked into the MF towel? The surface feels slick when i rub the back of my hand against it, but not as slick as if i did it with GC. Is that just what SG is like? It looks better, but not crazy. HSould I see a film or residue after I apply the SG?
 
You should see a slight amount of SG on the paint if viewed from the side (almost indiscernable if viewed from directly overhead).



AIO seems a little slicker than SG to me, although the difference is negligible.



Grab a mf applicator and wet it down with a tiny amount of water or Sonus Acrylic. Then you won't have to worry about the "absorbency" issue.
