Trans Am and Trucks and Bimmer Oh my!! (*pic heavy*)

[wendelly]

Last week, I used AIO, then SG, then Blitz (2 coats).



When I washed my car yesterday, what came off? Just the Blitz? Or not even that? It still looks awesome:up.



I am interested in layering the SG, but not sure what to do from this point. Basically, I can't stop jacking around with my car ever since I found this group.

I feel the same I just want to keep trying more product and I will eventually try a carnuba topper(P21S) as I get more familiar with using Klasse.

 

[DETAILKING]

The SG will not bond properly over the carnuba. You either need to wait till it wears off, or wash in DAWN to strip it and then apply more SG.

 

[Lemonxxs]

washing will remove some of the wax but not all....to layer SG you need to remove the wax as DK said for proper bonding.

 

[YoSteve]

how about working the interior or the engine instead?

Detail the exhaust or muffler and underbody to keep you working on the car

I did that already

DK is right. You will need to either wait til the carnauba wears off or you can give it a Dawn wash before you can apply more Klasse SG. This is why it is important to apply several layers of Klasse SG. Apply enough layers until you are completely happy with the look. Then and only then apply a carnauba topper if you like. Laters

Thanks Don/DK. That is exactly what I wanted to know. So, if I understand correctly, a dawn wash will take the car down to the SG layer. A normal car wash will just clean the dirt off my wax. Does that sound about right?

 

[Don2000g]

You got it. A Dawn wash will, however, remove some of the Klasse SG. So it is essential to apply another coat of Klasse SG. As we mention before though, 3 or more coats will give you a stunning look. Have fun. Laters

Beautiful work on all the cars Jeff. I really liked how the wheel wells came out on the 2500HD and the interior of the bimmer was spot on!!!:thumbup:

 

[Puckman]

Beautifying the roads of America, gofast! Nice work and good to see you're busy.

 

[imported_kakeuter]

[bigpoppa]

It saddens me to see an E38 in such crappy shape (one of my all time favorite cars), but your hard work completely transformed it. I can't believe how good that interior looks! Your work on the carpets and leather is truly exceptional.

 

[Tru_Shine]

Outstanding work my friend! keep it up!

Jeff-

We had that same BMW, the rims are a pain to clean
