Towards the bottom of the interview is the word on applying and removing HGSG, not trying to start a flame war either, it's directly from the man who owns Klasse!:D



"...The longer HGSG stays on the surface, the easier it is to buff off. Apply to the entire vehicle before buffing. I will often apply HGSG in the afternoon, let it sit overnight and buff it off the next day. It will buff off like a breeze. Again, I buff by hand using a Microfiber Buffing Cloth."

""Q. Any tips for applying High Gloss Sealant Glaze?

A. Yes. HGSG does apply a little differently than All-In-One. Apply HGSG using a damp Microfiber or Microfinger Pad but apply less product (about the size of a dime) and wipe-on in broad, overlapping strokes. You can use a light pressure to apply HGSG because you are not "polishing", you're just applying a protectant. The longer HGSG stays on the surface, the easier it is to buff off. Apply to the entire vehicle before buffing. I will often apply HGSG in the afternoon, let it sit overnight and buff it off the next day. It will buff off like a breeze. Again, I buff by hand using a Microfiber Buffing Cloth.



Occasionally, customers will complain that HGSG is difficult to buff. In almost every instance, I can trace the problem to the customer using too much product, applying with a dry, not damp, applicator and/or not waiting long enough before buffing. If HGSG resists easy buffing after it is dry, simply mist the surface with any quick-detail spray and wipe with a dry Microfiber Cloth.""



I dunno, Ive tried doing the whole 12hr curing thing (using like 3/4 oz/coat) and the stuff wwas always like welded to the paint and extremely hard to remove.
 
I have learned with my sore arms is that after waiting 12-24 hours, I wipe it off, then come back a few hours later to wipe it again on areas where I used too much or I just hit it with Megs #34 FI or Sonus all around. I agree it's like concrete in some parts, but again the detail spray takes care of it!
 
I've had no problems using the wipe on/wipe off method.



If the only way to use SG was to wait that long, I wouldn't use it. Too many other really good products out there that do not require that type of wait.

Exactly! And if Klasse's President DID said that, he's harming his products image by making it a very dificult product to work with.

Isn't this in the Bill North method?
 
KlasseUSA needs a website and tech line like the others, it would help and stop being so mysterious! It is awesome on the wheels, doesn't melt and it keeps the Audi brake dust away!
 
I have only used klasse SG once and in that instance I did not let it sit for long at all so it was fairly easy to buff off.



My question is if you do leave it for 12 hours and its hard to remove, can you use a PC with a finishing pad to remove it?



In everybody's opinion will using a PC to buff out SG:

1. remove the product;

2. cause swirls; or

3. cause any other detriment to the paint?



Thanks for your thoughts.
 
matc- I remove my SG with a suede-style MF bonnet on my PC. It works great. I think it MIGHT give me a slightly better job compared with when I do it by hand. No problems at all.
