Acrylic High Gloss Sealant Glaze 16.9 oz. Clear

THIS IS A FIVE STAR PRODUCT. The Klasse product like ANY other wax, polymer sealant,,, even Paint.... IS A FINISH WHICH BY DEFINITION WILL NOT EVER COVER OR HIDE ANYTHING. A swirl when you start is still a swirl mark after waxing. This product should not get slammed in a review for something that the product does not claim to do- ANYWHERE. The swirls or marks mentioned in the review requires the use of clay bars, compounding, or a polish . or all of the aforementioned- depending on the specific nature of the problem and the severity. Example: Had swirls and marks on used 1992 Miata recently- way it came but heck it's 21-years old.. . Rest of car was decent for it's age, all but the trunk lid which had swirls from a bad wax job and they were exceptionally deep... tried clay bars.. meguires 205 compound type polish and 105 finishing compound polish (done using Mequires rotating head in hd 18v drill (if you want a tool for this buy a real polisher am not recommending the Meguire unit) ALL the work mentioned did NOTHING. Miata trunk lid is a lost cause and will require repainting. Normally for what the original reviewer described,, try what I used on the Miata. Krasse "All-in-One" (which I would recommend BEFORE using this Klasse HG Sealant Glaze , product is a combination of polish and finish (on trunk lid mentioned.. after clay, 205 and 105 etc. still had some swirls come out and black paint on removing cloth) The Klasse AIO works great and looks great when done,, use AS DIRECTED AND NOTE USING SMALL,, REPEAT AGAIN,, REPEATING SMALL (THAT'S A LITTLE BIT NICKLE SIZE BIT OF THE PRODUCT JUST LIKE THE DIRECTIONS SAY. USE IN SHADE, ON A COOL SURFACE AND DON'T , REPEAT DON'T PUT THE KLASSE ON HEAVY. FYI: regardless of how MUCH you apply only a certain amount in a single layer will EVER stay on the surface being 'waxed'. Klasse product will likely give a couple dozen car polish / wax jobs . Cost per 'wax job' makes the product a GREAT VALUE. I will continue to use because it's easier to use (DONE PER MFGR) and for how it looks. Believe this is same product used over 25yrs ago. the 100 % acrylic should last a long time.. NOT sure but this may be the methamethacrylate acrylic being developed in late 1970's ( working on a water based product, instead of solvent based. Solvent based variant used at Busch Gardens in Tampa Florida to protect a fancy painted scene on a wall where folks in a 'Q' lineup were rubbing against and wearing off the expensive artist paint job,,, went back as tourist years later still there looking just fine- Solvent based acrylic was the same resin used in making plexiglass.. tough stuff.Personally put TWO coats of the Krasse All-in-One polish/finish and TWO coats of this Klasse High Gloss Sealant Glaze on my Miata,, per instructions ALLOW 8-12HOURS BETWEEN COATS. DID MINE A DAY APART EXCEPT THE 2nd COAT OF All in One WAS FOLLOWED 8 HOURS LATER WITH FIRST COAT OF HIGH GLASS SEALANT. SECOND COAT OF HG SEALANT WAS ON THE FOLLOWING DAY. Am about to apply a third coat then will go to the normal 2-3x per year . Years ago, I had a black 1996 Miata for 1-1/2yrs with MANY coats which looked deep enough to fall into.. When I sold that Miata, the glossy paint SOLD that car> FYI if you must hurry.. in past, using a large bucket of really cold water (use ICE) to rinse off the car between coats to help harden each coat. After three coats done in one day I waited a week before doing more. It was 90-95 degree F. weather when done.. and YOU ARE ON YOUR OWN AS THIS DOES NOT FOLLOW MANUFACTURER'S INSTRUCTIONS.. Information is for info only and user is responsible for his own mess; however, the Klasse is a great product. This product is ONLY for painted surfaces. Keep it off the rubber and chrome etc as best as you can. the ALL in ONE polish/finish is what you use on other metals, chrome wheels,, etc and stay with products for rubber on gaskets. All else fails follow the manufacturers directions. Hope the info helps. Free Info is ALWAYS worth what you paid for it. davzway2014 UPDATE: The 1992 is likely terminal in a garage for six months; so this reviewer went on to another Miata, this one a 2011 touring PRHT model (which had a pretty decent dark blue paint job). Doing this car the right way: 1) cleaning with Meguires Ultimate car wash to ensure the surface is clean. (2) Applied two coats of Klasse All-in-One to the entire car; as well as mag wheels, headlight lenses, and black plastic trim. (3) Currently has four coats of this Klasse High Gloss Sealant, working towards a total of twelve coats then will continue long term maintenance with one coat every 3-4 months. The car will always look great. Most of the time you can wash with just cold water. The Klasse acrylic High Gloss Sealant has already saved the car finish from Florida's nasty 'Love Bugs'; being able to stop every two hours or so and removing those 'Love Bugs' with plain water and a rag during two long drives for Mothers Day and Memorial Day. Cost? COST? IS YOUR CAR FINISH WORTH TWO BUCKS? Currently have 12 Miata size cars with maybe half the 16oz bottle consumed. Will have more than 20-24 coats before this bottle is empty, which calculates out to less than $2 per coat. Larger vehicles will cost more, so you might end up with $3 per coat. That's still not expensive for protecting your car's finish. One bottle of Klasse High Gloss Sealant will protect your vehicle for a LONG TIME! And between 'wax jobs', the car is easier to clean and maintain it's appearance. What more can you ask of any 'wax' product. This one does the job and works better than the manufacturer claims. Ideally you do need to figure in a bottle of the Klasse All-in-One to your costs. Need two coats as mentioned on the main paint job. Then Klasse AIO is used for exterior plastic trim, glass, wheels, etc. (** also if you ever leave bugs or anything on two long, this product is a mild polish which helps remove contaminants while still applying the same acrylic finish as the Super High Gloss finish. A near perfect team for your car's exterior finish)

Here's the best endorsement I can give for this product… I use this on my Bentley Continental Flying Spur. I learned about the product at the Rolls-Royce dealer. You really need a better endorsement than that? If you're not convinced let me explain some extremely basic science behind this… For generations people waxed their car using some form of carnauba wax. The reality is the wax does not adhere to the paint and is gone in about three weeks. Now this assumes a few things which includes daily driving, getting your car washed, rain, etc. This product is an amazingly durable polymer which sticks to your paint and really doesn't come off for at least a year. It has a very different type of shine than wax but I believe most enthusiasts will like it just the same.So what's the downside? This stuff is a real pain to apply and take off. It goes on like butter because it's a liquid but taking it off requires a professional polisher. If you leave it on too long you're going to have a problem. I get my car detailed once a year at the dealership and bring them this instead of the glaze that they normally use. Notice I said glaze and not wax, nobody's using wax anymore it's simply not as effective. To use another analogy 100 years ago people were using a horse-drawn buggy to get from place to place today we have cars. For 50 years or so people used wax to protect their cars paint, today science has given us polymer. Here's the bottom line, the dealership who charges nearly $400,000 for a car uses this product. That convinced me to try for myself and I've been using it faithfully on my cars for the last five years or so. I get more compliments about the appearance of my car now than I ever did using even the fanciest waxes.One final suggestion, if you're going to attempt to do this yourself you want to start by thoroughly washing your car and making sure that you use a soap that takes off any wax that may still be on the car. Next you have to use a clay bar and lubricant, without this step putting the polymer on it is pointless. As a matter of fact it will damage your paint because you will be ceiling in road grime. Once the car is properly prepped it's time to use very small sections until the car is done. You only need one coat and you will be amazed at the results for at least a year. My strong recommendation is taken to an auto detail company or dealership that you trust and tell them to use this (tell them to follow the instructions on the bottle) instead of whatever they use. You will not regret it. Good luck
