OK...based upon your suggestions, I have obtained the necessary ingredients, and have begin the work. Dawned the car completely to remove any remnants of the Griots I had on the car previously. I thien used the PPCL which worked out very nicely, providing a litterally squeeky clean surface. I have just completed an application of Klasse AIO. The paint is puuuuurfectly smooth, and although it was getting slightly dark, I detect just a few swirls under very close inspection. I guess the next step is Klasse SG. DO I have to wait until the AIO cures? DO I wait for each coat of SG to cure? How long? How about machine application? Any benefits other than time? How many coats?



WHew..... I plan on eventually getting to putting a coat or two of Souveran over the top for the final touch. Slthough this is a daly driver, I work hard at trying to maintain the finish.



Thanks for your sugggestions.:bow

For me AIO curing, no. Few may say yes, but everything here is technique.



SG, two thoughts here: some like 24 hrs, others, me say not. I usually give it an hour to dry then maybe an hour or two to "cure". I have gone back to back without any problems and I have used the 24 hr method with no noticeable difference. There is no wrong answer.



Machine app., with SG I have found by hand is just as quick vice the Porter. For my Odyssey I go ahead and use the PC because it's a lot of real estate. You may get thinner coats with the PC, but there will be the person that has the opposite results. 5 coats seems to be the magic number. I like using SG so I have 20 plus over several months.



Not sure how much reading you've done, but thin thin thin is key. How about removal, what is your gameplan? This is usually where folks go 'what the h.... I can't get it off!'.
 
Thanks for the reply. I have been using a soft 100% cotton terry to remove and follow up with a microfiber. I do have a MF bonnet for the PC as well, but have not used it...Should that be a removal strategy?



I have read the mayor's downloadable book, but it does not quite get to this level of detail.



Any suggestions gratefully accepted.

No, I did not like the PC for removal. I like Showroom's method, slightly damp MF towel works great. Makes it easy and saves a lot of time. I then chase it with a dry neatitems mf towel. I found with the PC I had to go over it again and again.



Good luck.
