Klasse All In One Polish and Klasse High Gloss Sealant Glaze are among the very best car care products available. If you already use Klasse car wax products, or intend to use them, this guide was created just for you.

WHAT IS KLASSE CAR WAX?

Klasse is a synthetic car wax (paint sealant) and the original two-step paint care system. The first formulation was released in 1969. It was a breakthrough admixing polyethylene carnauba wax replacement system.

Through the years, Klasse car wax has evolved with many improvements. The first major change came in 1986, when Klasse was modified from its original formula to use the latest polyethylene-acry compound technology. Between 1991 and 1996, the chemists made incremental improvements to improve durability by more than 30% and U.V. protection by 100%.

There are two products in the Klasse system. Klasse All In One is a combination paint cleaner and paint sealant in one, whereas Klasse Sealant Glaze is a pure sealant (no cleaning or polishing properties).

Klasse All In One is intended to be used as a seasonal cleaner-wax, and as a pre-step to using Klasse Sealant Glaze. If your paint is in new or like-new condition, Klasse All In One will help you keep it that way.

Klasse Sealant Glaze provides additional sealant protection and a deeper, high gloss finish. As a pure sealant, multiple coats of Klasse Sealant Glaze can be applied to improve the final finish.

PRE-KLASSE PAINT PREPARATION

The first step in any car detailing program is a thorough washing.  Wash your car with a double strength mixture of Sonus Gloss Shampoo and dry with a microfibre towel.

After washing, dry your car thoroughly using a microfibre towel.  Don't use inferior cotton toweling that can cause scratches and swirl marks.

After a thorough washing, inspect your paint for contamination, scratches, swirl marks and other defects.  If you find these paint problems, now is the time to correct them.

If you wash regularly and garage your car, applying Klasse All In One Polish twice a year is normally sufficient to maintain good paint health. Klasse AIO's cleaning ability is mostly chemical, not abrasive. The polishing ability of Klasse AIO is very slight, but it will remove fine swirl marks, stains and moderate oxidation.

Rather than rub your arm off trying to clean your paint perfectly with Klasse All In One Polish, it's a good idea to start with detailing clay. Detailing clay will safely and effectively remove all surface contamination with ease.

If your car is new or in like-new condition, use Sonus SFX Ultra-Fine Detailing Clay. Use Sonus Glyde Clay Lubricant for proper lubrication.

After you have cleaned the surface of your paint with clay, inspect closely for paint defects.  As stated, Klasse All In One will polish away light swirl marks and slight scuffs, but it can't remove scratches or heavy swirl marks.  For these conditions, polish first with Sonus SFX-1 Restore Polish (for heavy damage removal) or Sonus SFX-2 Swirl Remover Polish.  These polishes are best applied by machine.

After your paint is clean and heavy defects are gone, you can polish with Klasse All In One.

Proper Application of Klasse All-In-One Polish

Klasse All In One Polish is not very particular about application, but Klasse Sealant Glaze must be applied as a very thin coating or it will be difficult to remove.  More about that later.

For Klasse All In One Polish hand application, I use a Lake Country CCS Euro Foam White Polishing Applicator  to offer a little more punch for removing fine swirl marks and water spots. It really brings up the shine.

Work on a single panel at a time. I recommend applying a 10 pence size dab of Klasse All In One Polish to your applicator and work it in well. Polish until the film is nearly gone.

Allow Klasse All In One to haze for just a moment and buff off with a microfibre cloth. If your paint finish is not as highly polished as you'd like, you can apply Klasse All In One again to remove more swirls and improve the level of gloss.

After polishing with Klasse All In One, give your car's paint a quick wipe down with your favorite detail spray. This will remove any remaining polish residue and it makes the Klasse Sealant Glaze application much easier.

Proper Application of Klasse Sealant Glaze

Klasse Sealant Glaze is very finicky about proper application.  The reason is simply that the product is as strong as iron.   If you apply it heavily, like you would apply a paste wax, it will be very difficult to wipe off.

So, I repeat, Klasse Sealant Glaze must be applied as a very thin coating or it will be difficult to remove.

The proper film application thickness for Klasse Sealant Glaze is  "whisper thin". There should be very little Klasse Sealant Glaze film to remove when it is properly applied.

For Klasse Sealant Glaze I only recommend a microfibre applicator.  Microfibre evenly distributes just the right amount of Klasse Sealant Glaze.

Before starting, moisten your applicator with a small amount of detail spray.  One or two sprays is plenty.  The quick detailer will assist with thin application of Sealant Glaze.

Apply Klasse Sealant Glaze to your entire car.  Do not wipe off until it is dry.  I recommend applying no more than a small size dab of Klasse Sealant Glaze to your applicator at a time.  Work it in well.  Remember, rub the Klasse Sealant Glaze in until only a whisper of film remains.

Allow the Klasse Sealant Glaze film to dry for about 30 minutes.  In most cases, once you are finished applying Sealant Glaze, you can begin buffing off where you started your application.  Allowing the Sealant Glaze to dry longer will not make it easier or more difficult to buff off.  For best results, buff off Klasse Sealant Glaze with a microfibre towel.

If you do apply your Klasse Sealant Glaze to heavily, use a light spray of your quick detailing spray to assist with removal.
