Yeah. It protects like a wax, but it also has a little polishing action too. So it's good if you "work it" kind of like a polish.

BTW, I don't really use Klasse on black vehicles. On black cars I like to use something with carnauba in it, to show off the depth of the black paint. Klasse is not totally transparent, which can lessen the depth on dark paints. It's best on white, silver, and light colored cars.

You will probably never notice the difference. I'm just picky, and I like to use carnauba on dark colors. Go ahead and use the Klasse on your dark paint. It will still give great results.

Well right now, I'm using Mother's California paste wax since I figured paste would be more durable and shinier than liquid wax. It's still shiny (but not as shiny) and water still beads. Think I should stick with that instead of Klasse?

My dad has a silver Camry and I waxed his car in February. The problem is, he parks the car outside 24/7 (one car garage so the newer car gets to stay inside) and I just washed his car an hour ago and water is just sheeting on the body and not beading. The roof is the worst.

i tried klasse aio and sg today on my silver celica and my results were NOWHERE as good as these.. actually my fiji blue civic that's never been waxed is still shinier than it... what gives?? took an entire day to get it all done too... could it just be it was a cloudy day so it didn't look as shiny?

I like Jeff Werkstatt a little better. That with my Makita 9227C. I still like some Chemical Guys and Poorboys but no their wax or sealants. Still need to try Optimum Poli-Seal


Thanks

klasse is long lasting and great if you apply carnuba over the AIO + sealer.

P21 works great for me.

Synthetic sealers are recommended for cars parked outside and exposed to the elements. I use klasse on my mini cooper s and bmw m3, both are garaged but look great even a year after its application.

I use nufinish on our two daily drivers...
They last extremely long given the rain, Sun and snow beating down on them. They Definitely need reapplication every 3-4 months. Carnuba would have worn out before the second weekend.
