I just bought Klasse and was wondering if a microfiber should be used in applying it? Or can I use a foam applicator? If I use foam, Do I have to keep the foam applicator damp? like they recommend the microfiber pad to be damp also? Thanks.

Andre, do you use the same microfiber towel in taking off both the all in one and glaze? Or do you need to use different towels? Same with the foam applicators. Do I use 2 different ones or can I use the same to apply both? Thanks.
 
I find that the mf applicator works really well on AIO (damp) the applicator tends to get dirty because of all the oxidation and dirt you remove from the super effectiveness of the AIO. In that sense the mf applicator works well. I then take the applicator with left over AIO on it, wet it a little and scrub down all the windows (and dry to a perfect shine with a clean MT)



With the SG its a toss up, but I lean towards using an applicator sponge.
 
There's nothing wrong with using microfiber towels to apply AIO. I just side with Beau, Richard, Andre and Brad B. Nothing but foam. You use less product and application is easier. Consequently you do the same quality of job but at a quicker rate. A few others have attested to this. Laters.
 
(we really need just one post dealing with this topic)



Don, I have a question.



I use AIO as a cleanser more than as a wax. That is I sorta need to do a little scrubbing with an mf pad. I find that I wouldn't be able to achieve this with a foam pad and that it would rather just lay AIO on top rather than cleanse the paint.



Am I correct in my function of AIO, or do I have it totally wrong?
 
I certainly understand your logic. I'll always remember what good old Brad B. said. His thoughts are certainly valued here on our great forum. "Foam for everything." Nuff said.

I've used foam for All in One and achieved awesome results. Cleaned the paint extremely well. I use foam for Finesse It 2 and get great results as well. No need to scrub or press very hard.

I just get the impression that foam pads are SAFER on paint than a microfiber applicator pad. I'm very picky with regards to which microfiber towels touch my paint. So far only Miracle Towels and sometimes neatitems towels. Not microfiber applicator pads. I get the sense that they will slighltly mar the paint a bit more or give you a little more light swirls than foam applicators would. Just my .02
 
Thanks for replying Don, the only way for me to get off those little specks of metal specs turned rust it to rub it a little.
 
for those of you who who don't know (not you don, you're the one who told me what they were to begin with) that think my car has rust (check out the pics on my page) these are specks of rust on top of my clear coat caused by foreign contamination. they come off with a little rubbing
 
I just received my Koala towel. Do I have to wash them before using? Or are they ready to go? Thanks.

Washing it would be a good idea. We often have to wash the Miracle towels, microfiber towels, Charisma towels, etc... before using them for the first time. It might help in any linting problem if nothing else. Laters.
 
Got some of this recently to see if it would improve the look of my black lower valances on my Passat. I've been noticing more and more nicks and blemishes from rocks and road debris so I was looking for something a little more effective than a water-based dressing, but not a dye. I applied it according to the directions, it wasn't exactly a quick process, but I was very meticulous with the application and the trim runs around the entire bottom of the car, so there it was. I wanted to take photos but I inadvertently left my camera at my mother-in-laws so I'm sorry to report that I have no visual cue cards to report my success. The only thing I did different than what is recommended was I washed the whole car before applying so I think it will look better after the next wash. It left the trim very rich looking and the nicked up areas were considerably improved cosmetically, not magically gone but much improved. After driving around I have noticed that it's attracting dust but I think that will improve after the first wash. Now to see how long it lasts. Their website reports a month if not longer once the product gets "built up" in the pores of the plastic.

Anyone else used Black WOW yet and have any reports to share on it's performance? Love to hear what you guys think or have learned by using it.
