Quick question-

When using Klasse-All-in-one Wax then topping with P21s, what do you do when you want another coat? I've noticed several people keep putting on coats of Zaino. Would the same apply here?

Let's say you just finished Klasse then followed with P21s. Next week when you wash again, do you just repeat the same process?

Thanks in advance.

I do not remember the AIO being layerable.

Basically if you're going to do something like layering carnauba on a durable polymer sealant, here's what you can do.

1. Wash
2. Polish
3. Glaze
4. Polymer Sealant
5. Carnauba

Then you can wash every week and apply glaze + carnauba every 2-4 weeks for best results. That way, you don't have to re-apply the polymer sealant very frequently. If I was you I'd go with the process and apply the polymer sealant 2-3 times a year.

This car was particularily hard to detail because pretty much every body panel had been re-painted and thus gloss wasn't very high when I started.

Here are my usual steps for a full:
1. Wash
2. Dry
4. Clay
3. Meg DACP
4. Meg SWP
5. S100 SEC
6. S100 Carnauba

I repeat 5 and 6 every month for my car.

On properautocare they recommend
1. Wash
2. Polish
3. Klass-All-in-One
4. High Gloss Sealant
But they also say " If using a top coating of carnauba do not use the High Gloss Sealant Glaze. This top coat of sealant or carnauba is not required."
5. P21S.

-Confused-

I just bought all this detailing gear on Properautocare.com but I did not buy a Glaze because I did not think I needed it.

I just bought a used S2000 and this is what I had planned:

1. Wash w/ P21s shampoo
2. Clay
3. Menzerna Final Polish
4. Klasse-All-in-One
5. P21S Carnuba Wax

To maintain it, can I simply just wash and reapply P21S Carnuba every few weeks? I noticed you stated every 2-4 weeks, but for how long would you need to do this, how many coats? (I can't imagine doing that for the whole year) What would be the pros/cons of using a glaze like you recommended before reapplying P21S? My understanding is that the Glaze strips the former wax, correct?

Thank you for all you patience.

Hi Charles, I still check Autopia every other day

The other thing you forgot to mention about Zaino is - once you get a small scratch/mar/etc, you will have to strip all those layers of zaino and start out again
