I've noticed a few comments in some of the posts regarding SG hazing, that it appears like swirls marks, etc.



I recall a thread some time ago that this was caused by humidity trapped under the layer.



Or am I having a senior moment???
 
On the causing of KLASSE hazing, whether or not it is due to environmental conditions, application or removal techniques, non-compatibility with other products, or just product quality control.



I think the hazing with humidity is associated with carnubas.................
 
Klasse hazing is a very odd issue. I use it on all my chrome surfaces and have no hazing at all, but if I put it on paint I get hazing. I have noticed it with both AIO and SG, but it only occurs on paint not on chrome or plactics.........who knows very odd indeed.
 
Yep. I tried just using just AIO too see if the SG was the problem, but I get the same thing with just the AIO.



The only happens on paint though, not any plasctics or chrome.
 
Thanks DK, I believe that you are right about hazing with carnaubas due to environmental conditions. My senior moment is over...:D



But that does pose an interesting thought about what causes this hazing. I've never experienced it, but having a white car makes it difficult to see something like that.



I wonder if it has anything to do with the age of the product. Mine's approaching 9 months.



Hmmmmm!
 
Ok, the Klasse hazing problem is nothing new. I posted a while back that I had found a solution (or maybe an understanding) of Klasse glaze.



Typically, when I remove the initial layer of SG or AIO there is a trace of glaze. I believe that the haze that we all see is actually a layer of SG or AIO that has not completely been removed. For this reason I tried a little experiment, to see if I could get rid of this mysterious haze.



I MF'd half of the hood like I normally did. Surprise surprise, there was the dreaded haze. I then MF'd the other side, waited a minute, and MF'd again. The glaze is not isolated to humid weather, as I got the haze a few weeks ago, and it was about 45 degrees outside.



After I MF'd the hood the second time, I noticed a considerable decline in the amount of hazing that I saw. Just for scientific purposes, I MF'd the hood one last time, and surprise surprise, no more haze. Granted this takes a bit of time, but the pics speak for themselves (see Members Rides 325i Before and After).



Hopefully, we can get this issue resolved, get Brad B. or David to write a little blurb, and no more haze ;) .



Best regards.
 
I think you are definitely on to something Maryland Bimmer. Perhaps this is the "hazing" that some of you are referring to. I've not really witnessed to it but perhaps it is due to the fact that I buff everything quite meticulously. Sometimes 2 passes and then a final one with a Magic Towel (Miracle Towel).
 
You can do either buddy. Usually, however, I prefer to buff it out as well as I possibly can without the quick detailer. Then I use the very final wipe with a quick detailer. It just seems safer to me to use quick detailer (lubricating properties) I also make sure the microfiber towel has a bit of quick detailer sprayed into it to make it as soft as possible. Experiment a bit if you like as I'm sure you will. Laters
 
I love the LC Hydro Tech Pads, but my favorite pads for serious correction is the Surbuf pads. They cut my time in half (well, almost).
