You can apply hydro2 over almost any surface and protectant. Klasse aio should be no different.
 

I am sure you can. But personally I wouldn't bother with KAIO before Hydro2, unless you are using the KAIO as a paint cleaner. KAIO is a great base for KSG, but Hydro2 will not really care.


 
Awesome,thanks. One more thing, the ultimate paint plus-i love the shine and the ease of use,but it doesn't really bead water at all. I know carnauba wax doesn't last very long,do y'all have a remedy for that? Such as maybe applying the carnauba wax then applying something over it to keep it there for awhile? I'm thinking anything I apply over carnauba is going to diminish its beading properties,so I'm not really sure if there's a fix for that or not. Bottom line,I love the shine of the ultimate,but I'd like the beading properties of a carnauba.thanks again guys.
 
If you apply anything over Carnauba wax, it will only last as long as the wax, which has a short life.

What a lot of people do is apply a great product/sealant/etc., first, then to get a little more pop, apply a great wax, knowing it will only be there temporarily.. The base product if chosen carefully, with the paint prepared carefully, will last the longest..

I have always gotten fairly good beading from Ultima. What are you doing to the paint prior to application?

As far as Hydro2, I have had good experience with it over everything. Klasse would make an excellent foundation, based on my experience, and Hydro2 would be an awesome maintenance booster.
 
let me rephrase,when i first apply ultimo,it does bead,but the beading action just doesn't last more than a couple washes.i used to use zymol when i first started.before i learned about all these different sealers and waxes.now that i(think)know what to look for,id just like to see more beading action when I'm through.i believe ill try that hydro2 after klasse and see how it turns out.i appreciate the responses guys.
 
Hydr02 works best over bare paint. It does contain a good bit of alcohol so it may affect the product that is already on the paint. Some people have had streaking or spotting issues when it is applied over fresh coats of other LSPs

What are you prepping the paint with prior to applying UPGP?
