It depends. All in one is kinda like a shampoo with conditioner. While SG is like condition by itself. So if you are using going to use a separate cleaner/polish, then get SG. If you want it all in one step, then AIO.
You can apply SG on top of AIO. I top my AIO off with PoorBoys EXP with excellent results! Super smooth and slippery like no wax before it.

Edit: You can also top off the sealant with carnuba wax.

Example:
AIO
SG, EXP, UPP, DG or whatever sealant you want.
then P21s, Natty's Paste wax, Pinnacle souveran, etc.

I'm thinking I'll probably use Klasse all in one and then the SG. The black car has some minor scratchs and Klasse AIO should fill those in says.

question though... these cars have basically 25K on each of them. paint is young. The AIO is not a actual polish and won't remove any surface paint right? I guess the main reason i would use it is to get rid of any old wax left on the car so the SG will go on good and they layer that up. Or should I not bother with the AIO.

I heard dawn washing can be harmful to your clear coat. some say its fine.. others say HELL no

Its is if you do it everytime you wash, but in reality you shouldn't have to use it everytime you wash.

With zaino most do it every 6 months, I went longer.


not sure how often the other wax people do it. I don't think you would have to completely remove and rewax the car that often.

okay. one more question. for the Klasse AIO and SG.. how far does this stuff go?? I have two cars I want to use it on and figure I'd do two coats tops of the AIO and then 2 or 3 of the SG. The bottle sizes come in 10, 16 or 33 oz.

So two cars and a few layers. If I go with 16 will I have plenty to spare?? I'm assuming you put it on thin.. 16oz theN?

Yeah, eric is right, dawn not only removes the wax and everything else of your paint, it also takes all the oild out of your paint that give it that "wet" look. using dishwash soap a couple times a year wont hurt it, but i sure wouldnt recommend it. there are better products for stripping the wax.

I used Klasse AIO and the SG today... I wanted to try out some P21S (maybe I will still buy it). I think the Klasse SG is hard to take off unless I am putting on too much or not doing it right.

Last year I used Zaino. Was impressed... might just go back to using that again but not til all this other stuff is used up.

I wouldn't use AIO by itself, it's best to top it with SG. AIO does shine the paint well, I'm just not sure if it adds great protection even close to that of SG.
Glad to see another fan of the Klasse products!

casketcrewchick: make sure you work in the shade with the SG (if you weren't already) and do one panel at a time: if you let it dry too long SG is a PAIN to buff off.
