Klasse questions

Used Zaino for years, going to try Klasse, had a few qq.

I know you can use Klasse on plastic and glass (and I've done this with Zaino as well). Has anyone used it on our Tacomas black mirrors, and light handles? Also curious about our headlights/taillights. Don't want to used it there if anyone has had problems.

Anyway to get around the 24hr wait b/n using the two Klasse products? Like Zaino has the accelerator?

What soap do you use to wash b/n waxes? Zaino has there own, would that be OK, or is there something better for Klasse?

What about spray detailer? Again I could use my Zaino or get something more Klasse specific.

Thanks

TL

Klasse is great on the headlights and tail lights. It won't hurt the plastic mirror or handles, but I prefer to use 303 Aerospace protectant on those peices.

Ya gotta wait at least 12 hours, or you will remove the previous layer with your 2nd application.

Any car wash and QD is fine.

Thanks Pb.

I'm a 303 fan as well - I think you're one of the first to recommend it to me a couple years ago.

I kind of thought that a wax type of product would protect the hard outer surfaces like the mirror and stuff longer than 303 would when exposed to the elements. I'm a little surprised you like it better there.

If you don't mind me picking your brain a little - any particular reason why?

Thanks again

TL

I just do. I figure that Klasse is made for paint. 303 is made for plastic/rubber.

^ yeah just use it on the paint and lights. If you havent bought it yet you may want to look into this. It will correct instead of just cover up for a few days.

The 303 worked great and made the plastic on my bedrails and bumper nice and black again... but the next morning things were pretty damp and the 303 stuff dripped down the sides of my bed and made it look terrible.

And yes I wiped off extra 303 after I applied it... dried for quite a while

That's what happens with a water-based dressing -- add more water (like rain or dew) and bad things happen. I use 303 on the interior only for this reason. I use Original Armor-All watered down a bit for tires, bed rails, and mirrors. It works better.

Don't laugh about the Original AA, either. It's a legit product (unlike all of the other AA products) that protects well without promoting drying or cracking (again, unlike their other products). It's also cheaper and more widely available than most other rubber treatments.
