Completely removing all KSG

**Gregor** · 10-08-2006, 01:54 PM

So I've had some fun with the Klasse twins and now want to try something else. I have some DP Premium Surface Sealant and DP Max wax ready to go. I assume for the best results (assuming surface prep has been done) I need strip the KSG off before applying the DP PSS. As we know KSG is pretty durable, so I'm wondering how to completely remove it. The surface was recently polished with SSR 2.5, then SSR1.0. No clay.

From reading here are the options that I've found:

1) Polish it off. I have PB SSR1 so I could use that. Seems extreeme.
2) Alchohol. Not sure how well this works on SG. Also this seems like it might be a little harsh.
3) A paint cleaning product. I'd rather not spend more money at this time. However I will take recommendations for my Christmas list.
4) Clay it off. I'm not sure if clay will remove it completely or just smooth it out.
5) Klasse AIO. I understand the solvants in AIO will strip KSG off. I'm just not sure that the little coating left by AIO is the best surface to layer DP PSS on top of. I could be wrong, I just don't now.

Comments and suggestions appreciated.

I would clay then polish. Any mild polish will remove any wax/sealant. I would use SSR1.
You're gonna love DP's Sealant topped with some Max Wax!

Is that a new or old formula DP sealant?

New, purchased a couple weeks ago.

mild polish ... will jewel the surface and remove any light contamination while removing the KSG.

Question here! Can you not top KSG with DP's Sealant? Never used DP's Sealant, but I have used AIO, KSG, and about a week later Liquid Glass. Then the next day Megs NXT.

you probably could ... but I suspect most want to see what DP looks like on its own and its durability and upkeep.

That's where I'm at. Still in the honeymoon phase and want to learn the ins and outs of each product.

OK, so we've got the imeadiate project covered, I'll go with the SSR1 as recommended. For my Christmas list, what would you use if you could pick any product from the AG shelves? Still a polish, or perhaps a paint cleaner?
