Q about Klasse Gloss Enhancer

[LowHoe]

alright, so i bought both the All-in-one and the Gloss Enhancer from Klasse, along with 3M swirl remover for dark cars. this weekend i did all the steps, first of all i was not impressed at all with the 3M swirl remover. I put it on using a buffer with a synthetic wool pad. it just didnt do what i was expecting it to do, plus that getting it off was a pain in the a s s.

anyways, on the Klasse stuff, I really like the "all in one" stuff, i think it works very nicely, and removing it is a brezze. although, it said apply a second coat of "all in one" for a better finish bc the first coat cleans so much that the second coat would really protect and make it smooth. I tried that and I dont so much believe that, but o well. MY MAIN CONCERN is the Gloss Enhancer. I put that stuff on and it said apply thin coat, let dry and easily remove. well i did my whole truck, took a break and then tried to remove it. the results, my truck i dont think looks any more glossier than with just the 'all in one' on and it looks like it has some streaks where it was not buffed out enough, but i worked the he11 to get them off with my hands and then a buffer, SO WHAT GIVES???

Am i doing something wrong here?

sorry that was kinda long, but i hope someone understands and could help me out.

THANKS

i think you waited too long before you removed it. i tried the enhancer & had great results.

well when i meant break i mean that i went in and got a drink and then came out and started at the first place i started, so it was probably 20 minutes dry time,

should i try and polish and buff different sections at a time?

thanks for the quick reply

[wolfdog]

the way i did it was body panel by body panel & by hand. maybe try that. i started at the top, then hood, fenders, doors, bed side, tailgate, bedside. maybe that will help.

*EDIT* forgot to mention,(you probably know this) but make sure the truck is cool, and not in the direct sun.

First off, with the Swirl Remover its not best to get the kind for "dark Colors." The one for "dark colors" has fillers in it which will wash off after time. Second, the swirl remover shouldnt be used with a wool pad. You should use a foam pad. That will help a lot. Get the pad that they recommend on the bottle.

Klasse High Gloss Sealant- you didnt apply to much right? Also its best to take a Microfiber towel and get it wet then ring it out. Then wipe off the Sealant with the damp one then take a another Microfiber towel and dry it completely.

OK, well i cleaned off my tahoe and tried again today, I think the main problem was applying too much :confused: which seems strange to me but i put it on with a buffer last time, and this time i put it on by hand and was able to control the amount i put on alot more. i didnt do more than a 3x3 foot section at a time and then buffed it, then moved on. it turned out a lot better.

less really is more, whodathunkit

THANKS for all the suggestions:rocking:

I can probably get you some foam pads, if you tell me what kind of buffer you have.

Klasse is made to be used by hand. Glad it turned out for you.

[LowHoe]

so these foam pads are only good for applying a wax or compound? but not Klasse. i might be interested with some of these for waxing my famlies cars. PM me if you want

thanks

btw i have a 6" orbital buffer
