Detailed my car this weekend!
I took advantage of the long 4th of July weekend and detailed my car. I went out and bought the Mother's detailing kit (mainly for the clay bar) and spent about a whole day detailing. I washed, dried, clayed, washed, dried, applied Klasse AIO, applied Klasse SG, let SG sit for about 2 1/2 hours, and then repeated last 2 steps. Overall I have 3 coats of SG.
Claying did wonders for the car. Although I think I could have done a little bit better job. I spent a total of 2 1/2 hours claying my car. Towards the end I was just tired and wasn't as "thorough" as I wanted to be. But I think I did the process correctly and the car felt silky smooth afterwards.
I do have one question for anyone that uses Klasse. After I got back home I washed the car again, to remove the dead bugs from the front of the car. I was wondering, if I wanted to add a 4th layer of SG do I need to apply the AIO again or can I just put on the SG after washing it?

You don't need to re-apply, unless you use some chemicals that would stripe the Klasse off. I usually just apply one coat and that's it. You know what you should do, buy a spray bottle and pour about 4 oz of Klasse in it and fill it up with water. Now you have a spray wax detailer, great for spot cleaning. You just need to shake it up everytime you use it.

No, if you park your car outside, the Klasse should last about 4 months. If parking inside a garage, probably last about 6 months.

I forgot the website's addy but if you go to Mercedes/BMW/Porsche dealerships, they sell them there. Some Acura dealerships sell them too.
