Detailing, Keeping it Clean

Everybody has their favorite product that they use and swear by. They use it because it works, and don’t want to try something else. I’m not that way, I’m not afraid to step out of my comfort zone and use something new. I’m always trying new products to see how they work. But one product that I’ve tried and keep coming back to is Klasse All In One and Klasse High Gloss Sealant Glaze.
Klasse products are made in Germany and have been on the market for a long time. The All In One product is a cleaner/polish protector. It is used to remove impurities from the paint and put a sealant to protect the paint. Klasse High Gloss Glaze Sealant puts a protective covering over the paint sealing and protecting it from bird droppings, tree sap, industrial fall out and everything else.
To properly prep the paint before any cleaning or polishing, rinse the car off with a pressure washer. This will help remove some of the surface contaminates. An electric pressure washer is good enough for home use. Not only will it use ¼ of the water you would use with a hose, it helps save the environment by producing less waste water. Next use a clay bar product like Meguiar’s C-2000 Professional Detailers Clay with high quality car wash soap like Prima Mystique Concentrated Car Wash. Using a car wash mitt or sponge to soap up one section of the car, then rub the clay bar over the soaped up area removing the surface impurities from the paint. After finishing the clay bar, rinsing off the car off with the pressure washer and dry it with micro fiber towels. The first thing you’ll notice is how smooth the paint feels. Please note, only use the clay bar to prep the vehicle for polish or wax. Using it after waxing or sealing the paint will remove all the wax or sealant.
After finishing with the washing, it’s time for the All In One. This is used as a polish to prep the paint for the sealant/wax product. Make sure you follow the directions on the bottle. It can be used with a buffer/polisher, or by hand. Do one section of the car at a time. You don’t have to wait for the All In One to dry before it is removed. This stuff is so good; it removes water spotting from paint. I cleaned up a car that had bad water spotting on one side. With a little bit of work, it removed the spotting making it ready for the Glaze.
Klasse High Gloss Sealant Glaze is an acrylic formula designed for new car paint or oxidation free surfaces. That’s why it’s important to first clay bar the paint then use the All In One. The Glaze is applied by hand using a cotton or micro fiber wax applicator. USE IT SPARINGLY!!!! Using too much makes it difficult to remove. It’s better to apply several light coats than one heavy coat. Cover the whole car with the product and let it set up for at least one hour before removing. To remove the Glaze, get a spray bottle with water and lightly mist one area. Use a clean uncontaminated micro fiber towel to remove the Glaze, and then go over that area again with another clean micro fiber towel polishing the surface. For the best results, apply several coats, the more coats you use, the deeper the shine becomes. I use three coats of the Glaze on my car at a time.
After you have finished, you will notice how much easier it is to keep your car clean. It can now be washed using one damp towel and one dry towel. Wipe one section down with the damp towel following up with the dry one. Nothing sticks to the paint any more. The cleanup is very easy.
