Hi All,



Just got my Klasse AIO which I plan on using this weekend and topping with P21S. Probably also use my P21S cleanser before the AIO.



Would be grateful if anyone had any application tips over and above what it says on the bottle.



I've also heard that you can apply this stuff over black plastic trim? Is this true and is it worthwhile rather than just using something like Autoglym bumper care stuff that I use at present?



Thanks & happy Easter :)
 
I know some people have tried your combo, but I would pick either p21s cleanser or AIO, then top with your wax. I think if you put AIO on top of p21s cleanser you would be removing the shinning oils or whatever is left behind that makes the surface so cool. Since your using a wax, I personally would use AIO, because of the protection it leaves. If you were using a sealant, maybe I'd pick the p21s, but sometimes I try AIO too.



AIO works good unless the surface is porus. If the surface is porus like rubber and some grainy ABS materials, klasse makes a great product called VLRP, it cleans great but does usually a good shine product on top, I use z16 for that. K-VLRP and Z16 combo is the combo I use lately on bumpers and hard to figure out ABS materials.

Since this will be your first time with AIO, I would apply it once to the whole vehicle, then do it all again, just in case the first pass missed any spots.



As for application instructions, check out my signature! :D
 
Ken - I'd apply it with a PC mate!! :p



Just kidding - looking forward to hearing how you get on with it!

I apply AIO with a PC first on 3 then on 5. I use a grey Lake Country VC pad and that works great. I buff out with an MF by hand.



Surface prep is key: I first use Zaino Z-7 soap if the paint's in tough condition, then clay with Sonus Block and Glyde.

Kenl,



I have been using AIO on my black plastic for years. It works great if you like the trim to have a satin, and not gloss, finish.



I also use AG Bumper Care cream, which does a very nice job treating neglected black trim. The AG Bumper Black aerosol is great if you like a bit more gloss (it also lasts a long time!).

"Grey pad, SilverLexus? Why not a polishing pad?"



My paint is in such good shape that grey does fine. You can use a polishing pad but you don't always need to.



I have to try the AG Bumper Cream.

Do you follow the AIO with a sealant or just use the AIO? I have been using AIO + a sealant on all of my trim with excellent results and durability.
 
Thanks for the tips.



Unfortunately we've had pretty much constant rain this weekend so hopefully get it all done next Saturday.

AIO can be used on your rims, door jams, under the hood and trunk. I've read you can use it in your wash and even make a QD.
 
i use AIO with my rotary and a polishing pad. i prep the pad with some qd or PB's S&W then put some AIO on the paint, spread it around, then get the Makita going and go to town. I usually am about 1000 rpm's and just work it in. Since it is more of a cleaner then a polish, i make sure it gets worked really well.

Detailers Tips:

1.Apply this product using water-dampened applicator, and then spray the applicator with Sonus Spritz.

2.Apply Klasse products very thinly using absolute minimum pressure on the applicator.

3.Everything in a straight line, circular movements only add to swirl marks.

4.Spray the vehicle surface very lightly with Sonus Spritz between each Sealant Glaze â€Ëœlayerâ€â„¢.

5.Use a slightly damp 100% cotton towel to wipe the surface followed by a dry 100% cotton towel to remove Sealant Glaze

6.I cannot emphasise â€Ëœapply products very sparinglyâ€â„¢ enough.

7.Schnell-alternate: (Klasse Wash) Wash vehicle, apply "All-in-One" to entire vehicle while itâ€â„¢s still wet using a damp 100% cotton towel, re-wash, rinse, and dry vehicle.

8.As a quick detailer mix a 3:1 solution of Sealant Glaze and Sonus Spritz, spray onto a 100% cotton towel and apply lightly to paint film surface.

9.The secret to the application of a polymer product is to apply it thin (super thin) Fill a spray bottle and mist a foam pad for application.

But....do you have to use a rotary? Or, can you apply by hand?



I just ordered some (my first trial of AIO) but have not yet received it.

I have tried the spray bottle thing, but could never get it to spray. Maybe I need to try one of those adjustable nozzels.
