Has anyone had any experience or know of Klasse for cleaning and polishing cars? It is from Germany, supposidly used in the councours circuit. It is acrylic based and said to be better than wax or silicons.

Arie tried some on my car during our little get together. FANTASTIC stuff. i was truly impressed.

i think the all time new procedure is wash, claybar all over, 3m imperial via orbital polisher (greg's discovery), then wax.

I am using teh "wax" only, not teh polish. The was is nice. It may not give you this showroom shine (you know, the wet look), but it lasts for ever... I use one of those "daily detailer" sprays to get the wet look.. I am happy with Klassa, but I would try Zaino (also synthetic) before making the final choice..
The only drawback with Klasse is that you'll need to use a good towel when you buff it and buff it and buff it. It take some elbow lubrication to get good results..

Arie - one of these new fangled wipes about which I've been raving - might make the buffing much easier. We'll have to try that.....

Thanks for the tips...I think I'll give the Klasse a try. Would be interesting to know if someone has used the orbiter for buffing with it...might save on the elbow grease required.

After reading the tips about Klass, I think I could have saved some elbow grease had I used better towels to buff (see Greg's post "Waxology III") and If I had waited a bit longer for the stuff to dry/cure..
