    Meguiars UP or Klasse All-In-One?

    I have a full bottle of Meguiars UP at home that works well. I was going to purchase a bottle of the Klasse High-Gloss Sealant Glaze but I also saw there is a Sealant/Polish combination. My question is this:

    Should I pick up the sealant only since I have the bottle of UP or should I just grab a bottle of the all-in-one and switch over to that going forward?

    I am asking because I know the Klasse lasts a while (supply wise) but I am also looking for something long lasting so I wasnt sure if the combo or seperate products would work better. Thanks!

    Klasse AIO is non abrasive so it really doesn't remove fine scratches. I have always assumed that it just fills in some of the defects while chemically removing oxidation giving a excellent shine.

    I use it on my white truck which is very forgiving as far as fine scratches are concerned. You really have to look close to see defects compared to darker colors. I use both Klasse products on my white truck and get good results.

    I really think you would get a finer finish using the Ultimate Polish first and then applying the Klasse SG for protection and shine.

    I use these products but am not an expert on how they work chemically but using a fine abrasive polish first would be best in my opinion.

    What he said ... I use the Klasse twins on my SS red Suzuki also with good results. So far the combination of KSG and Megs UQW is impressive.

    I would say both.

    The UP will do the correction work you want to accomplish. KAIO is a non-abrasive pain cleaner as has already been mentioned. It's also a good base for the Klasse SG to bond.

    Whenever I use Klasse SG, I alway make sure I use AIO after polishing or claying to ensure there is a clean surface for the SG.

    This is exactly how you should apply it. I did the same other than using M205 instead of UP. I maitained with sonus acrylics spritz and acrylic glanz. That got me 7 months easily when using KSG. I actually could have gone longer.

    Correct the paint, to your satisfaction, with your choice of polish; if it's done with UP: so be it.

    •Then for the LSP:
    -Klasse AIO and Klasse High Gloss Sealant Glaze
    ("The Klasse Twins") are formulated to work together:
    K-AIO as the base; K-HGSG as the LSP.
