Has anyone tried/uses the two Klasse sealants - All In One & Sealant Glaze?
Think they are also known as 'Carlack' in the EU. & Klasse in the USA.

Yeah i used them before, gives excellent protection / durability. It's more of a winter polish/sealant for me as i can get better results with other products.
It's is also re-formulated in the usa by jeffs werkstatts, which is a lot more user friendly.

When you mention "user friendly" John, do you refer to the buffing of it?

'Clean Your Car' website indicates that the All In One, followed by the Sealant Glaze and topped off with Sonus Acrylic Glanz is the 'Bees Knees'

Mind you, their business is sales after all!!

Yeah you got it, it's a lot eaiser to apply and remove. It is a fantastic product the Klasse twins and Tim is correct, it is one of the best, but i find it a little on the sterile/plastic looking side. In the summer i would rather sacrifice the durability and have the warmth / wetness of a nice glaze which the Klasse sealant would struggle to bond to. But everybody has there own opinion.
Here is a link to Jeffs usa web site; http://www.jeffswerkstatt.com/index.html
You can get it in the uk from here;

Another product to bamboozle us all, I am sticking with washing and waxing for now, seems like too much hassle, all this sealing, glazing, etc.

[elfa7]

I agree wholeheartedly.

Thanks Johnd, after reading up on the Klasse twins, it appears that AIO is relatively user friendly while the Sealant Glaze is the more tricky one - the secret seems to be applying it very thinly and if necessary, using it in conjunction with Sonus Acyrlic Spritz during application . This apparently can aid the SG's removal and eliminate any potential streaking that any over ambitious application can cause. All that's needed for maintenance is the occasional use of Sonus Acrylic Glantz which is supposedly a doddle to use.
If the Klasse products durability is to be believed, then this would appear be a better route than having any Supaguard, Diamondbrite type treatments.

Downside - it's a lot of products to buy!

It is the better route and is also a lot cheaper than the £300-£250 the dealers charge for doing an inferior job.You should be able to kit yourself out for under £60.

Hi JohnD
The only query I have is with the AIO. - in the product description there is no mention to clearcoat.
Since it has no abrasives in its content I therefore assume it is in fact clearcoat safe?
(With its twin product, the SG, it actually states so)

It's fine to use on your Civic.

Thanks John, I thought so.
Trouble is I get a bit envious of the folk with their NHBs & Milano reds - those colours always respond so well to a good shine up - something us silver & silver shades find hard to match.
Showing the dust though is another story!

Now, shall I?

[richierich]

I'm sticking with Megs, just washed, cleaned, polished and waxed it, it looks amazing.

[Bassa]

Meguiars NXT Tech Wax is my current choice Richie which I will probably stick with. I was just interested to hear of any members experience with Klasse and to use a cliche, only JohnD has come out of the woodwork.
Think you have the best colour when it comes to buffed satisfaction.

[richierich]

Not tried the NXT wax, I have the 3 step thingy, is it called super gloss or something? I said this before, but it really does reduce the swirls on the paint and really brings out the red. My arm is killing me though!

[TheBull]

Megs NXT is cracking stuff but Klasse AIO will last a lot longer as it's a bit tougher. I use stuff called Car-Lack which apparently is the same stuff.

Got it here:

I stick some NXT on the top for good measure but it stays looking good for ages! Don't lay it on thick though or it's a bitch to buff off.

[Bassa]

Hi Bully
Have you tried the Car-Lack Long Life (New Paint) Sealant = Klasse Sealant Glaze over your Car-Lack68 Nano Systemic Care = Klasse AIO rather than the NXT?

Now i know your Civic is silver which is one of the hardest colours to get good reflections with, i would have told you to get some Optimium car wax. It's a spray on wax and is so easy to use, gives excellent reflections and makes the flake in metallics pop. Here's a few pic's of the wifes old clio top off with it;

There's something wrong with your jeans, mate.

Car looks fab though.

That's my best pair

Hi again Johnd
Mine is actually Blueish Silver - very similar to silver when it comes to the gleam factor.
This is my NXT result.
Still quite fancy giving Klasse a wirl though.

The Clio looks good - thought you'd at least have combed your hair before taking that pic. especially since you are wearing your best jeans!
