I have been a zaino-holic for some years now, but that has all changed due to my recent purchase of Klasse.

As Metallica says, "I've dun thee unforgiven.. " according to Sal and Zaino holics out there in that I have removed my many,many,many layers of zaino.

I applied Klasse AIO then only ONE , yes only ONE coat of SG. I was impressed beyond belief with just one coat of SG.

My 2nd coat of SG is currently curing.

I think I will be using Klasse over Zaino exclusively.

Why ? I think it produces a "wetter" looking finish than any other product on the market. That's only if you're into wet looking finishes over "shiny"

There are those detailers who with a trained eye can tell the difference between a "wet looking" finish as opposed to a "shiny finish"

I've always preferred "wet looking" showroom finishes over the "shiny" "bling, bling" finishes.

In my particular case, I went from a "wet looking" finish, to an even BETTER "wet looking" finish which I did not think was achievable.

My photos DO NOT DO IT JUSTICE







There is a significant improvement from Zaino with only ONE coat of SG.

Notables:
-Klasse is more expensive, AIO & SG ($50-60.00 CDN depending on shipping)
-Klasse is an acrylic polymer which maybe more or just as durable than zaino
-Klasse uses a more expensive detail spray ($30.00 CDN depending on shipping)
However, I am going to try z6 with it in weeks to come just to see how it works.



Thanks

Hey Simon I saw this post on autopia.org and was going to link it over here at the Wash & Wax forum.

Looks great. I'm glad to see a Zaino Zealot can try different thinks. I think it looks much more "real" than Zaino.

Try topping it with s100/p21s or Meguiar's #16 and you'll REALLY love it. I'd at least put on 2 layers of SG though.

Those are awsome pics.

Does anyone know if SG can be used WITHOUT AIO (on a very clean finish) to reduce the overall cost??

s2ksimon,

What car wash will you use now? Will you continue to use Z-7?

Also, how easy is Klasse SG to remove? Easier than Zaino?

Thanks

s2ksimon

I will continue to use Z7. I do not see any harm in that.

By hand - Klasse is easier to remove and apply than the new z2. If using the old z2, about the same.

By PC - about the same in removal

Wow! Yellow is a great color for a sports car. That really looks great, Simon. Congrats!

If you want the paint to be darker and wetter looking, you'd be better off topping Klasse with Carnauba.

The reason you get the effect is because the acrylic molecules lay out long and flat, whereas the Carnauba wax molecules stand straight up and down. The combination creates some unique optics.
