I must be doing something wrong

A few nights ago I did my first real detail on my truck. Used the Klasse twins, and things were fine until I applied the sealant/glaze too heavy...I am using a PC. It is VERY hard to remove...to the point that I needed to use a spray bottle with water to help get the job done.
Tonight, I applied a second coat by hand after using the Meguairs OTC quick detailer to clean up the dust. I applied by hand VERY VERY sparingly, and it was still super difficult to remove, so I used the QD to help me out a bit.

so two questions: 1) am I still applying too heavy? I can barely tell I'm putting anything on and what I can see is almost instantly drying (I'm working on a cool surface, not a hot hood for example)

2) am I screwing up by using the QD in between coats of the Klasse SG? Does using a water mist or QD to help me remove the stubborn glaze defeat the purpose?

This all said, the truck looks awesome, but the Klasse SG seems a little difficult to use. No problems at all with the AIO.
 
I've moved on from KSG. If I have the time, I use it and let it sit over night. It just isn't worth the fuss for me. Even using a quarter of an ounce on a vehicle and I find it hard to remove.
I have better ways to develop tennis elbow in my life.
 
Are you using the wipe on/wipe off method(WOWO)? Or are you doing the whole vehicle then wiping off?

If not using the wowo method, try it. If you are doing the whole car you might as well try waiting until the next day to wipe off to see if that helps.
 
The water spritz should not hurt Klasse. I've done that and also used a damp towel followed by a dry towel with no problems. Still good looks, and still great durabilty.

I know a lot of sealants can't get wet, but I don't think Klasse is one of them.
 
I was doing the WOWO method on pretty small areas. It probably doesn't help that the truck is white and it's kind of hard to see the sealant going on, but I really barely used any. It seams to work well, just kind of hard to use for a newbie like me.

Of course, now that I've done the detail, I can't stand going to bed at night without going over the whole thing with the QD. At least it hasn't rained since I did the detail, so I've had a few perfect days with a showroom finish. But those dern bugs!!!

so should I stay with the Klasse or try something else?
 
If you don't mind such a tedious, time consuming process each time you wax, stay with Klasse.

IMO, there are literally hundreds of products that are as durable and look better than Klasse, many with much easier (emphasis on much) application and removal.

e.g. : Zaino, Poorboy's EX-p, Collinite 476s and 845IW, FK1's 1000P and 8120 etc.
 
I have been doing some reading here on the Collinite 845 and it sounds like it lasts really well.
Would it go over the Klasse SG okay, or should I start over with the AIO before I did something like that?

In the warmer months, I have no problem (would actually enjoy) applying LSP every week or two, but I want something that can stand up to a winter of abuse.
