All this talk about polymer sealants has finally convinced me to order some Klasse AIO, SG and a bottle of 3M SMR. Up until now, I've just been using Meguair's 3 step with descent results, and I feel like giving Klasse a try. So bear with me! :)



I'm planning on doing a Dawn wash, then SMR, then wash again(do i need to wash it again?), then AIO, and then 2+ layers of SG...I'll be doin all this by machine btw.



Now, here are the questions:



If I do 2 layers of SG now, and then top it off with some nice wax, does that mean I can no longer put on SG? I think I can "strip the wax" again with dawn and then go directly to the SG layering right?



If I decide not to use wax, can I still use Meguair's QD directly on the SG? Will the carnuaba in the QD make it so that I cannot layer SG anymore?





Thanks for all your help! I think I'll be the first in my area to try Klasse, and nevertheless even heard of the stuff!

:p

You can put a carnuba topper on it.. just next time you feel like SGing you'll need to strip it off.. and hopefully not strip the SG
 
Ok, so what about having no carnuaba wax on it? Can I use QD sprays on it when there's no wax (just SG)?

You can do a light Dawn wash but then you run the risk of removing some of your SG as well. For some people, Dawn removes SG and for others it just weakens it a bit. Also, some people believe that using a highly alkaline wash like Dawn can have an adverse effect on your car's shine. What I would do is just wait till your carnauba topper is about two months old and give your car a good wash using car shampoo. At this point your paint should be carnauba-free enough to layer another SG coat. Also, Klasse SG seems to have a lot of solvents in it, so whatever wax is left over will not be a problem.

Meguiar's Quick Detail in the burgundy bottle? It contains some carnauba and silicone, but not enough to cause any bonding issues. Just be sure you don't use it RIGHT BEFORE adding an SG layer. You might want to consider switching to something carnauba & silicone-free like Meguiar's #34 in the future.
