Default Where does Klasse AIO Fit In?

I've decided to purchase a PC and all of the sonus sfx polish gear (SFX-1 through SFX-3 pads and polishes) to go with it. I've been using Klasse AIO to polish/wax my car and I love it; however, I'm not sure what step in the polishing process I would use Klasse AIO. Does sonus SFX-3 replace Klasse AIO? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks wanabe

What about SFX-3 polish? If I have klasse do I not need to purchase it? What pad should I apply klasse with? Sorry for all of the extra questions. Thanks!

not a klasse expert, but i understand that those are both glazes or similar to glazes
-i would think that you do not need the sfx3 with klasse
i would think that you want to use a non-aggressive pad for the klasse after doing the polish with sonus.
which brand are you using?

I'd do the AIO by hand after all your machine work is done. It is really easy - wipe on wipe off.

I plan on using the sonus SFX pads. So should I use the SFX-3 final finishing pad with klasse? Thanks!

As wanabe noted, SFX3 is really not going to be required, especially for silverstone. On some softer blacks I've found it very helpful to really finish out the paint at a slow speed with a finishing pad, followed by a gentle hand application of AIO.

Klasse AIO and Sonus SFX-3 have about the same level of polishing capability. The difference is that SFX-3 is a pure polish (contains no cleaners or waxes).

I personally like to polish my car to perfection with the SFX polishes because it shows you the true results, whereas Klasse AIO will cover small imperfections and you won't really know if you have polished them away or not.

After I'm finished polishing I hit the finish with Klasse AIO to remove SFX polish residue and lay down the first coat of protection. After it dries I apply my last step product.

Cheers!

David
