Then you should buy Ultima, :lol seriously though, as good as Klasse is, if you have never used either you should look into more modern sealants. Of course I am advising you this on the assumption that you have little experience with either products.

4 ounces will keep your car protected and looking much better for 8-12 years. (depending on the size of the vehicle and proper use of product)

If you are using an ounce a car, I would recommend wowo because you will have to dang near polish that amount of product off the paint. If memory serves, you are talking about doubling the amount of product needed per application, if not triple.

I used to do that, that's how I got these fantastic forearms, hehe. Seriously though I found that you almost use nothing and get the same protection as if you slob it on.

Yep, I don't know for sure how much paint a 33 ounce bottle of ksg can go, they always seemed to stay full for me, even after several applications. I would guess over a hundred easily.Then again I haven't used it in an awful long time and don't plan on it any time soon.

I've tried Klasse and I just got the Ultima exterior kit. With out a doubt Ultima is far superior, looks, ease of use, durability. Dont waste your time on Klasse.

I totally agree. Ultima is so good, that I may just sell my Zaino products. :shocked
With the sampler being 40% off, you can't go wrong. I have done our two cars twice, including windows and trim, and the sealant bottle still looks completely full. And I can't believe how great the cars look. Just amazing.

In regards to the comments of Klasse (or any traditional cream based products) vs. Ultima, it is not possible to compare the two. The amount of polymer (per application) in a traditional cream product is a fraction of what you apply in one application of Ultima. You simply cannot compare them on ounces or price.
One 4 oz bottle of Ultima will treat 14 to 18 cars (we say 15). That makes it $2.33 per application. A premium applicator is included. A single treatment protects for 4-6 months (conservatively). It takes about 10 minutes to apply.
One 16.8 oz. bottle of Klasse SG ($28) will treat 16-20 cars (we'll call it 18). You will need two microfiber applicators, at a cost of about $5, plus the bottle costs about $3 more to ship (average). You will also need two nice buffing towels to buff off the dry film. An application of Klasse SG last 60 to 90 days (conservatively). It takes about an hour to apply. Total cost is $2.00 per application.
While the final cost per application is close to the same, the Ultima is actually much less expensive because it lasts twice as long and takes much less time to apply (time is money). So, while it is easy to look at the small bottle and make a judgment call that the product costs too much, in reality, it's the other way around (less is more!).

Agree! It's what I was trying to communicate, but could not explain it as clearly as you did. So in the end, Ultima produces better results and it is more cost effective. UPGP pays for itself. I much rather pay for UPGP than to pay "less" for one bottle of another sealant (Zaino included) that will require more applications and that will run out faster, which in the end is actually more expensive. Ultima rocks!
