Klassey Xterra

Well I finally got to try the Klasse twins that I ordered from AG a while ago. Unfortunately I have no before pics, but my '06 Silver Xterra gets pretty dirty when having to ride through dusty/muddy entrances to motocross tracks and trails.
I washed with some old Blue Coral pink wash stuff I had, followed with Meg's clay and QD, then AIO and a coat of SG...NO topping.

Shines nicely (camera angles help of course)

It's also great at showing off your dents!

I found that using "Purple Power" degraser is great when trying to bring white lettering back from being dark brown to almost black (by the way, do you guys have any tips for getting off more of the baked on goodness from the inner part of your wheels? Or making the caliper NOT look like it's 50 years old?)

The sun was setting after a long day of still doing things by hand

I feel like keeping it outside this weekend just so I can see how it sheets the rain the way I have heard about (hopefully by some magical power it can also sheet off all the bird sh*t that I am sure it will be covered in by Monday)

Thanks AG for getting me hooked on Klasse!

Looks pretty bright. Nice reflections too. Klasse twins are very durable, so expect at least 6 months of protection.

After helping friend with his .. one word of advice, get a leaf blower. That top bucket contraption holds water as if theres a water shortage !!

Very nice reflection, I've never tried the Klasse products but I think I'm going to soon becuase some car owners prefer protection over looks...wile I prefer look over protection...but looking at your vehicle it looks good and now it has a good long lasting protection, nice combo.

Thanks for sharing....looks great.

Very nice work! As Scott said, a leaf blower or shop vac will be a lifesaver for you!

Thanks for the compliments guys!
I have a 5hp shop vac with blower nozzle that might be able to get the job done rather than a leaf blower. I can always try what I did with my Frontier P/U truck to clean out the bed which is to floor it in reverse for about 5 feet, then slam on the brakes and watch the water just fly right off the thing lol
