washed with poorboys SSS
clayed w/ a megs claybar and poorboys SSS
XMT 3 on an orange CCS pad
XMT 1 on a white CCS pad
WG finishing glaze on the black pad
Klass sealant glaze... first i tried to apply it with a blue pad, i couldnt buff it off to save my life. then i realized that i was using way too much of it hence the difficulty. the only way to apply this stuff is by hand. you need to use VERY SMALL AMOUNTS it should basicaly evaporate (like a quick detailer spray) when you apply it. i put a few drops on the corner of a MF and rubbed it in all over untill i wasn't getting it to streak anymore. then buff w/ MF. Once i figured out how to apply and remove is was extreemly satisfied with the result. its like a hard plastic shell fo the paint.

btw a few people had told me about the difficulty of the klasse sealant, i really wanted to get it but after people told me about it i ended up going with the DP sealant, still havn't used it, waiting for a nice weekend to detail my car.

At first i was wondering what I got my self into w/ the Klass but after figuring out how to use it I can't imagine not using it on everything

those are the only after pics i have w/ klass on them. there are still some swirls in the paint. in retrospec i could have used a compound on a yellow pad probably bc the paint is pretty jacked (my dad used a scouring pad on the trunk once, I couldn't get that out). its definitely a lot better but not blemish free
