Klasse AIO app/removal....how long to wait?

[elektrokent]

After reading Jimwh's excellent article on KLASSE application/removal, I have but one question that he didnt really cover...



quote from article:

"Grab your Klasse All-In-One (AIO) ............Go over the entire car from back to front.



Take a break! (but not too long)



Do it again. No need to buff off the first coat.



......Grab a Detailing Cloth and remove any AIO residue (there shouldn't be much)."





So is he saying that you can apply a coat of AIO to the ENTIRE car before buffing it off?? I thought it was best to do one section at a time...Or is it better to let the AIO dry for 10-15 minutes or so while I apply it to the whole car? Will that make it easier to buff off and eliminate any streaks/hazing?? Ive only used my AIO once so far and noticed some hazing/streaking in a few areas that wouldnt go away with QD or a damp MF. Im thinking maybe I didnt wait long enough before buffing it off (I was doing it a 2x2 section at a time, with little to no waiting before buffing....also I probably used too much product being a 1st time Klasser, even though it was kinda hard to see)....



I know SG needs to sit for a while before buffing, and the longer it sits, the easier it is to buff the residue off, but I searched and cant find anything on whether to let AIO sit to fully dry before buffing, or how long is TOO long to wait before buffing or how quick is TOO quick......??? :nixweiss





any help is appreciated..

Actually, the first time I used AIO, I put it on in 45 degree weather. I would do, say, half of the hood, and then buff it off...no streaks, no hazing, just an awesome clean, shiny look. Some have said to let it dry for 10-20 minutes, then buff it. You may possibly have used too much product that made it hard to take off. Keep reading all the threads you can find on Klasse application, you will find different and varying techniques that have worked for many others!!:xyxthumbs

AIO isn't like a wax or most sealants. Its primarily a cleaner. You don't have to wait for that to do anything. Once you put it on you can take it right off again. The earliest instructions I ever received on Klasse AIO was to do a panel and the buff it off. It gets harder to buff off if you let it dry too long. You could let it sit for days if you wanted to, but that won't really add to the effectiveness of AIO. It does what it is supposed to before you even move on to the next panel. It can be removed right after you put it on.
